【解析】

这是一篇故事类阅读。文章讲述了一个男子开着卡车，遇到传说中的大脚怪的神奇经历。

【1】考查时态。题干中表示“在过去的某个时间，一个男子正开着他的卡车”，用过去进行时，所以填was driving。

【2】考查冠词。句意：这个司机注意到路旁有某物，他认为它可能是一只鹿。题干中泛指“一只鹿”，deer的首字母发音是辅音，用不定冠词a。

【3】考查v+ed。句意：他看到一个很大的动物穿过马路，这令他很吃惊。V+ed修饰人，而v+ing修饰物，这里修饰人，所以填shocked。

【4】考查固定短语。句意：他说这个动物的体重在600到800英镑之间。in weight在重量上，该短语是固定短语，所以填weight。

【5】考查比较级。根据than，可知这里在进行比较，用比较级，所以填longer。

【6】考查固定用法。avoid doing sth.避免做某事，该用法是固定用法，所以填hitting。

【7】考查定语从句。____7____ nearly caused an accident.作定语，修饰整个主句，有逗号把主从句分开，所以____7____ nearly caused an accident.是一个非限制性定语从句，修饰整个主句内容，只能用which。

【8】考查副词。句意：幸运的是，他控制住了卡车。位于句首，修饰句子，用副词，所以填Fortunately。

【9】考查固定句型。句意：但是当他成功停在了两百米以外，回头看，这个神秘的动物消失了。manage to do sth. 设法做某事，该句型是固定句型，所以填to stop。

【10】考查固定用法。句意：我一直怀疑大脚怪的存在。be skeptical about/of sth.对……表示怀疑, 该用法是固定用法，所以填about/of。
