【解析】Jones夫人已经80多岁了，她还是喜欢开车，而且她说她从来没有违反过交通规则，但是有一次她差点就破了她的这个纪录了，究竟是怎么回事呢？看看短文讲述的吧。

【1】句意：Jones夫人已经80多岁了，但是她仍然像年轻人一样开着她的旧车。like像，是一个介词。根据句意可知，这句话把Jones夫人比作年轻人，空后面是名词，故填介词like。

【2】句意：然而有一天，她几乎打破她的记录。however然而，可是，表示转折，是一个副词。根据上句话she says that she has never broken the traffic rules可知，Jones夫人说她从来没有违反过交通规则，这里又说nearly broke her record，这两句是转折的关系，空后面有逗号，应填副词，故填however。

【3】句意：警车里的警察看见她没有停车过了红灯。stop停止，是一个动词。空前without是一个介词，后面跟名词或者动名词形式，故这里填动名词stopping，注意要双写，再加ing。

【4】句意：当Jones夫人来到警察面前的时候，警察说他太老了不能开车。drive开车，驾驶，是一个动词。这句话使用的句型是too…to do sth.太…以至于不能去做某事，故填动词不定式to drive。

【5】句意：还说她的眼睛可能因为年老变得弱了，因此她没有在红灯那儿停车。so因此，所以，是一个连词，表示因果关系，根据句意可知。

【6】句意：她选了一个针眼儿非常小的针，一次就把线穿了过去。choose选择，是一个动词。根据文意可知，这篇短文从第二段开始，讲述的是过去的一件事，使用的都是一般过去时态，故这里填过去式chose。

【7】句意：当她成功地做完之后，她又把线从针里拿出来，并把针和线都交给了警察。out出来，是一个副词，和空前面的take 组成短语，拿出，取出。

【8】句意：当她成功地做完之后，她又把线从针里拿出来，并把针和线都交给了警察。and和，而且，和前面的both搭配，表示两者都…。

【9】句意：在试了六次之后，他还是没有成功。time时间；次数，倍数。根据句意可知，这里的time是次数的意思，空前有数词six，故填复数times。

【10】句意：因此Jones夫人就没有得到惩罚，她的纪录也就没有打破。punish惩罚，是一个动词，根据句意可知，Jones夫人和punish是构成被动关系，这里还是应使用一般现在时态，而且是否定形式，故填wasn’t punished。
