【解析】

本文是记叙文。Bethany在2003年一次冲浪中遭遇鲨鱼袭击，左臂被咬断。出院后，她继续练习冲浪并参加比赛，她还热衷于做公益帮助残疾人，她的自传《灵魂冲浪者》很受欢迎。

【1】

考查反身代词。句中主语She和宾语是同一个人，宾语用反身代词。根据she，故填herself。

【2】

考查过去分词。句意：突然，一只虎鲨袭击了她，她的左臂就在肩膀下方被咬断了。此处指“使胳膊被咬断”，“使某事被做”用have sth. done的用法，故填bitten。

【3】

考查动词时态。句中时间状语By the time和完成时连用，动作发生早于was transported，用过去完成时，故填had lost。

【4】

考查连词。此处指她在医院里待了一个星期恢复，直到最后出院。或理解为在出院前在医院待了一星期。表时间，故填before／until。

【5】

考查形容词比较级。句意：在被鲨鱼袭击后的几周内，她带着特制的更长更厚的冲浪板重返冲浪。与longer并列，此处是和以前的冲浪板相比，用比较级。故填thicker。

【6】

考查名词。此处作动词use的宾语，由形容词standard修饰，用名词。故填equipment。

【7】

考查冠词。此处特指On 31 October 2003 Bethany被鲨鱼袭击咬伤事件，表特指用定冠词。故填the。

【8】

考查定语从句。句意：2004年晚些时候，她写了自传《灵魂冲浪者》，这本书很快就成了畅销书。句中包含非限制性定语从句，先行词Soul Surfer在非限制性定语从句中作主语，that不能引导非限制性定语从句，用关系代词which引导，故填which。

【9】

考查时态和语态。根据时间In 2011，可知用一般过去时，主语a film和动词release是被动关系，此处作谓语用被动语态。故填was released。

【10】

考查非谓语动词。句中已有谓语动词works，此处用非谓语。主语Hamilton和动词spend是主动关系，用现在分词作状语，故填spending。

当分词作状语的时候，如果构成分词的动词与句子的主语构成主动关系，就使用现在分词作状语；当二者构成被动关系，使用过去分词作状语。如果分词的动作发生在谓语动词之前，就使用分词的完成式。如果分词与句子的主语没有关系，可以使用状语从句或者独立主格结构。如第10小题句中已有谓语动词works，此处用非谓语。主语Hamilton和动词spend是主动关系，用现在分词作状语，故填spending。
