【解析】本文为叙事故事。文章讲述了一名80多岁的老奶奶司机身上发生的小故事。

【1】考查同位语从句。此处作fact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。故填that。

【2】考查介词搭配。此处表“因为驾驶错误被惩罚”，for“因为”。故填for。

【3】考查动词形式。介词without之后，应使用动词的-ing形式。故填stopping。

【4】考查词性转化。此处修饰动词词组look at，应使用副词形式，意为“严肃地看着”。故填seriously。

【5】考查定语从句。此处为定语从句，先行词是the reason，关系词在从句中作原因状语，应使用关系副词why。故填why。

【6】考查动词时态。此处描述的是过去的动作，应使用一般过去时。故填chose。

【7】考查固定搭配。both A and B，此处意指“把针和线都递给了法官”。故填both。

【8】考查代词。be one's turn“轮到某人了”，句意：现在，轮到你了。故填your。

【9】考查词性转化。分析句子成分可知，此处应为动词“成功”的过去分词，与had构成完成时。故填succeeded。

【10】考查被动语态。根据her record remained unbroken可知，针对Mary女士的诉讼被撤销了。此处描述的是发生在过去的事情，表示被动，应使用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was dismissed。
