【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：这是琳达写给史密斯夫人的一封信，希望史密斯夫人还记得她。作者写这封信是想让史密斯夫人知道那一学年对作者很特别。它对作者的生活作出了巨大贡献。

1.写这封信是因为我想让你知道…watching 观看；reading读；writing 写；getting收到。结合语境可知该选C。

2.过去在你的课上很安静，你从来不说我。used 用； used to 过去常常；was used被使用；was used to被用来做。根据并列成分and you never said much to me.可推知该选B。

3.但是你所做的让我在生活中有很大的不同。Difference不同；mistake错误； decision决定； progress进步。联系后文内容可知该选A。

4.中的话与我无关，我觉得无聊。nothing 没有事； everything 每件事；something某事；anything任何事。根据上句I hated to read 结合下句and I felt bored while reading them 可知该选A。

5.忘记六年级的第一天。Remember记得； know知道；forget忘记；understand理解。根据后文Since that day, I always waited for the time that you read to the class. 可推知该选C。

6.在你朗读的时候，似乎你的声音随着故事中的人物改变，画在我的脑海中。Liked喜欢；looked 看；looked like看起来像；Seemed似乎。It seemed that是一个固定句型，所以选D。

7.在你朗读的时候，似乎你的声音随着故事中的人物改变，画在我的脑海中。Loudly adv.高声地; 吵闹地; 花哨地; 华丽地; quiet安静的；.aloud大声地；quietly安静地。Read aloud朗读，是一固定短语，所以选C。

8.给我们讲各种精彩的故事。 told 告诉； read读； borrowed借；taught教。讲故事常用动词tell，所以选A。

9.我错过了聆听你读的故事。 Finished完成； practiced 练习； missed 错过；kept保持。根据后文So one day I picked up a book and read it all by myself.可推知该选C。

10.也可以说出有趣的话。boring 无聊的；patient 有耐心的； interesting 有趣的；necessary必要的。根据最后的句子Now, I love to read! Thank you for opening the world of books for me.可推知该选C。
