【解析】

本文是一篇新聞報道。主要報道了亞馬遜因為技術(shù)錯誤曝光了一些顧客的名字和郵箱。

【1】考查形容詞。修飾名詞error用形容詞作定語，故填technical。

【2】考查動詞時態(tài)。分析句子可知，the company sent to是定語從句，affect是謂語動詞，根語境可知，描述過去發(fā)生的事情用一般過去時，故填affected。

【3】考查時態(tài)語態(tài)。由下文“通知了可能受到影響的顧客”可知，使用現(xiàn)在完成時，故fix也用現(xiàn)在完成時，表示“已經(jīng)解決了這個問題”，故填have fixed。

【4】考查非謂語動詞。由did not need可知，此處need是實意動詞，后接不定式，故填to change。

【5】考查名詞。形容詞性物主代詞形式名詞，由people可推斷用名詞復(fù)數(shù)，故填accounts。

【6】考查非謂語動詞。介詞for后接動名詞作賓語，故填following。

【7】考查介詞。句意：亞馬遜沒有回答有多少客戶被這個錯誤影響也沒有回答信息被暴露多久的問題。本句為被動語態(tài)，be affected by “被......影響”。故填by。

【8】考查冠詞。spokesperson “發(fā)言人”是可數(shù)名詞，此處表示泛指用不定冠詞，Amazon以元音音素開頭，故填an。

【9】考查ed形式形容詞。surprise作表語，解釋說明主語people，表示人的感受，“吃驚的”，用過去分詞變化來的形容詞，故填surprised。

【10】考查定語從句。分析句子可知，空格處填關(guān)系詞引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句，先行詞是a secure link，指物，從句中作主語，引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句用關(guān)系代詞which。故填which。

定語從句解題策略：

(1) 一看先行詞的意義，即分清先行詞是指人、指物、時間、地點還是原因(如指物時不能用who或whom，指人時通常不用which等。

(2) 二看關(guān)系詞的句法功能，即分清關(guān)系詞是擔(dān)任什么句子成分，是作主語還是賓語、是作定語還是狀語等。如作定語通常用whose；作狀語要用when, where, why。

(3) 三看定語從句的種類，即分清是限制性定語從句還是非限制性定語從句，如that通常不引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句。

例如小題10，分析句子可知，空格處填關(guān)系詞引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句，先行詞是a secure link，指物，從句中作主語，引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句用關(guān)系代詞which。故填which。
