【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：今天上午8:30发现了名男子的尸体。有人杀了他。在尸体旁发现了一把小刀。法医说，“人大约死于小时前。”所以谋杀可能发生在午夜到一点之间。警察询问了三人。警察很容易就发现了谁是凶手。

1.句意：有人谋杀了他。跟在及物动词后，该用人称代词的表格形式，所以填写him，指代被杀的人。

2.句意：凶手可能用的是刀。跟在情态动词might之后，所以用原形动词use。

3.句意：这人大约死于八个小时前。故填写副词ago。

4.句意：所以谋杀可能发生在午夜到一点之间。Between···and在……和……之间，所以填写between。

5.句意：第二个人告诉警方说。根据上段the first man said和下段the third man said可知此处是说第二个人说，故填写second。

6.句意：他花了一个晚上与一些朋友呆在一起。Spend···doing sth花费……做某事，stay with sb和某人呆在一起，因此填写staying。

7.句意：第三个人说他对谋杀一无所知。故填写knew。

8.句意：警察很容易就发现了谁是凶手。故填写easily。

考点：选词填空。
