【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文，作者Michael分享了他如何通过听甲壳虫乐队的歌曲来学好英语的经历。

1.句意：我是Michael，我住在波兰，波兰语是我的母语，但我的英语说得很好。

but但是，表转折；if如果；when当……时候；because因为，表原因。由文章最后一段“Today, I have become good at English... 现在我变得很擅长英语……”可知尽管Michael是波兰人，“但是”他的英语说的很好，故选A。

2.句意：现在，我想与你们分享我的经验。

they他们，人称代词主格；their他们的，形容词性物主代词；you你、你们，人称代词主格或宾格；your你的，你们的，形容词性物主代词。share experience with sb.与某人分享经验，固定搭配，介词with后的sb.要用人称代词宾格形式，故选C。

3.句意：我六岁时开始通过听英语歌曲来学习英语。

at在……点钟/位置；by借助……方法；in在……里；on在……上面/具体某天。listening to English songs听英语歌曲，这是学习英语的一种方法，前面应用介词by，故选B。

4.句意：爸爸鼓励我听披头士乐队的歌。

listen听，动词原形；listened听，动词过去式或过去分词；listening听，动名词或现在分词；to listen听，动词不定式。encourage sb. to do sth.鼓励某人做某事，固定搭配，故选D。

5.句意：一开始我听不懂他们在唱什么。

couldn’t不能……；could能，可以；must必须；mustn’t禁止。由后文“Then I got a book with the words of all the songs.然后我得到了一本上面有所有歌曲歌词的书。”可知一开始Michael“不能”听懂乐队的歌，故选B。

6.句意：我一次又一次地读这本书。

read the book读这本书，这里的书特指前文“Then I got a book with the words of all the songs.”中我得到的那本书，表特指，用定冠词the，故选B。

7.句意：但是，我仍然很难理解歌曲的含义。

understanding理解，动名词或现在分词；understand理解，动词原形；describe描述，动词原形；describing描述，动名词或现在分词。have difficult in doing sth.做某事有困难，in是介词，后接动词要用动词ing形式，根据语境，作者是在理解上有困难，故选A。

8.句意：通过学好英语来了解甲壳虫乐队成了我的一个梦想。

secret秘密，单数形式；secrets秘密，复数形式；dream梦想，单数形式；dreams梦想，复数形式。one of + 可数名词复数……之一，固定搭配，又结合语境，理解披头士是作者的梦想，不是秘密，故选D。

9.句意：我觉得用英语写的书会更有趣。

interesting有趣的；interested令人感到有趣的；more interesting更有趣的，比较级；the most interesting最有趣的，最高级。由前文“I read them in Polish at first. 我最先读的波兰语版本。”以及后文“I decided to read the books in English. 我决定读英语版”提示可知，作者觉得英语版会“更有趣”，故选C。

10.句意：英语给了我极大的满足感和乐趣。

gave给，一般过去式；was given被给，一般过去时的被动；has given给，现在完成时；will give将要给，一般将来时。由“have become”、“can understand”等谓语动词可知本段时态为现在时，又英语给作者带来的满足是从过去就有，且还将继续持续下去的，所以用现在完成时态，故选C。
