【解析】

試題分析：

【1】down [從下文的needed a ride可知，她的車壞了。break down意為“拋錨”。]

【2】decided [整篇文章均使用過去時態(tài)敘事，這里也應(yīng)用一般過去時，故用decided。]

【3】to help [stop doing sth.意為“停止做某事”，stop to do 意為“停下來去做某事”；根據(jù)句意此處應(yīng)為stop to do sth.。一個年輕的白人停下來幫她的忙。]

【4】safety [在介詞to后要用safe的名詞形式。本句意為：那個男子把她帶到了一個安全的地方。]

【5】him [那個男子幫了她，應(yīng)該是感謝那個男子，故用him。]

【6】6．a [從句子結(jié)構(gòu)和語境可知，這里指有人敲門。此處knock意為“敲門聲”，是可數(shù)名詞。]

【7】To [to one’s surprise“令某人驚奇的是”。]

【8】for [thank sb.for doing sth.是固定搭配，意為“感謝某人做某事”。]

【9】but [從下文提到的事情可知，這個婦女要趕去見丈夫最后一面，當車拋錨時感到非常絕望，所以說雨水不僅淋濕了她的衣服，而且擊垮了她的精神。此處用到的是not only...but also...結(jié)構(gòu)，其中also可省略。]

【10】dying [husband是名詞，要用形容詞修飾。dying意為“臨終的”。
