【解析】本文讲述玛丽女士虽然80多岁，但仍然喜欢开快车，吹嘘自己从未因驾驶出错被惩罚。然而有一天却被警察指控在经过红灯时没停车，而这是因为她年老所以视力衰弱了没看见红灯，但玛丽女士随即用事实证实了对她的指控是不成立的。

【1】that考查同位语从句的引导词。这里含有一个由the fact引导的同位语从句，且引导词在从句中不作任何成分，也没有实际意义，故用that。

【2】for考查介词。句意：在她三十五年的驾驶生涯中，她从未因驾驶失误而受到处罚。表示“因为……”，故用for。

【3】stopping考查非谓语。句意：一辆警车跟着她，警察在这看见她经过一个红灯时没停。介词without之后用动词的-ing形式。

【4】why考查定语从句的关系词。由the reason引导的定语从句要用why引导，表示“为什么”，故用why。

【5】it考查代词。句意：她在红灯处没停最有可能的就是她的眼睛因年老变得很弱，所以她根本没有看见（红灯这件事）。故用it。

【6】what考查宾语从句。what引导词在从句中作say的宾语，表示“什么的”意义，故用what。

【7】chose考查时态。过去发生的事情，故用一般过去时。

【8】successfully考查副词修饰动词。句意：她成功地把线穿过针眼。用副词修饰动词。

【9】with考查介词。句意：现在轮到你了。我想你的车可以开的很好，而且你的视力也没有问题。have problems with表示某方面有问题，故选with。

【10】was dismissed考查时态和语态。发生在过去的事情，且表示被动，故用一般过去时的被动语态。
