【8】to turn

【9】that/ how

【解析】

试题分析：

【1】was sentenced 考查语态。句意：Kevin Daly被判处三年监禁。根据句意可知存在被动关系，所以使用被动语态的形式。

【2】his 考查代词。本句中的his指代句子主语Kevin Daly，第一句中提及他是一个男性man，所以使用his代替他。

【3】at 考查介词。这属于固定搭配，名词speed经常和介词at连用，表示“以…速度”。

【4】when 考查连词。句意：当Kevin Daly撞上相反方向正在行驶的另外一辆汽车的时候，她被甩出了车外。根据句意可知这是一个when引导的时间状语从句。

【5】moving 考查非谓语动词用法。动词move与名词vehicle之间构成主动关系，所以使用现在分词短语充当定语修饰vehicle，指相反方向正在行驶的另外一辆汽车。

【6】death 考查名词。动词cause“导致”，后面要直接接名词做宾语。句意：24岁的Daly否认危险驾驶导致死亡。动词die的名词是death。

【7】nor 考查固定结构。连词短语neither…nor…既不…也不…；该短语表示两者都不…。句意：法庭听说Daly和Hicks都没有系安全带。

【8】to turn 考查动词短语。短语wait to do sth等待做某事。当时道路被一辆等待掉头的卡车堵住了。

【9】that/ how 考查连词。句意：目击者描述了Daly根本没有机会把车停在一动不动的卡车后面，他转而想避开卡车，但是却撞上了另一边的一辆马自达轿车。本句中that/how引导宾语从句，充当动词describe的宾语。

【10】but 考查连词。句意：目击者描述了Daly根本没有机会把车停在一动不动的卡车后面，他转而想避开卡车，但是却撞上了另一边的一辆马自达轿车。根据句意可知上下文之间存在这转折关系，所以使用连词but。
