【解析】

本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了亚马逊因为技术错误曝光了一些顾客的名字和邮箱。

【1】考查形容词。修饰名词error用形容词作定语，故填technical。

【2】考查动词时态。分析句子可知，the company sent to是定语从句，affect是谓语动词，根语境可知，描述过去发生的事情用一般过去时，故填affected。

【3】考查时态语态。由下文“通知了可能受到影响的顾客”可知，使用现在完成时，故fix也用现在完成时，表示“已经解决了这个问题”，故填have fixed。

【4】考查非谓语动词。由did not need可知，此处need是实意动词，后接不定式，故填to change。

【5】考查名词。形容词性物主代词形式名词，由people可推断用名词复数，故填accounts。

【6】考查非谓语动词。介词for后接动名词作宾语，故填following。

【7】考查介词。句意：亚马逊没有回答有多少客户被这个错误影响也没有回答信息被暴露多久的问题。本句为被动语态，be affected by “被......影响”。故填by。

【8】考查冠词。spokesperson “发言人”是可数名词，此处表示泛指用不定冠词，Amazon以元音音素开头，故填an。

【9】考查ed形式形容词。surprise作表语，解释说明主语people，表示人的感受，“吃惊的”，用过去分词变化来的形容词，故填surprised。

【10】考查定语从句。分析句子可知，空格处填关系词引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是a secure link，指物，从句中作主语，引导非限制性定语从句用关系代词which。故填which。

定语从句解题策略：

(1) 一看先行词的意义，即分清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点还是原因(如指物时不能用who或whom，指人时通常不用which等。

(2) 二看关系词的句法功能，即分清关系词是担任什么句子成分，是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等。如作定语通常用whose；作状语要用when, where, why。

(3) 三看定语从句的种类，即分清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句，如that通常不引导非限制性定语从句。

例如小题10，分析句子可知，空格处填关系词引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是a secure link，指物，从句中作主语，引导非限制性定语从句用关系代词which。故填which。
