【解析】

本篇是作者介绍自己学习英语的经验。作者认为学习语言就是要运用语言，学英语时要尽量用英语思维，克服害怕犯错的心理，大胆地说，还可以让你的美国朋友看看你的写作方式，让他们给你一些改进的建议，这些方法都是帮助的。

1.句意：我将和你分享我的一些经历。

to去、到……，表动作的方向；with和……一起，表伴随；for 为、给……，表动作的对象或原因；根据上文“People often ask me for suggestions about how to learn English”推断空格指和你分享我的一些经历；share…with…和……分享……；故选B。

2.句意：我曾经在北京大学上过一个学年的英语课，但我主要是自己设法学英语。

made my way想方设法进入；got in the way妨碍；went out my way给我让路；根据下文的陈述可知作者是靠自己学习英语，故选A。

3.句意：我可以告诉你的事是一旦你开始学习，你应该尽可能多地用英语思考。

in在……里面；with和……一起，表伴随；on在……上面；根据下文“If you see something when you're riding your bike or walking the street, just think about“How would I say them in English?”推断上文指用英语思考，in English用英语；故选A。

4.句意：如果你在骑车或在街上散步时看到什么东西，就想想“我怎么用英语说呢？”

still还；just直接，就；already已经；从文字的表层意思推断空格指在骑车或在街上散步时看到什么东西，就想想用英语怎么说，故选B。

5.句意：现在当我在美国的时候，大部分时间，我会用英语思考并直接说出来。

gradually逐渐地；directly直接地；carefully小心地；根据下文“It’s amazing how much this helps”推断上文指用英语思考并直接说出来是非常有帮助的；故选B。

6.句意：最后，我克服了它。

realized意识到；succeeded成功；overcame克服；上文“I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I didn't want to make mistakes”根据下文“I also decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed at me, then so be it.”推断空格指作者终于克服害怕开口的问题，故选C。

7.句意：在美国旅行时，我尽量和不会说中文的朋友出去玩，所以我别无选择只能说英语。

speak原形；to speak不定式；speaking动名词；have no choice but to do sth别无选择只能做某事，由此判断空格填不定式；故选B。

8.句意：从那以后，我的英语进步得快多了。

much quicker更快，形容词比较级；much quickly形式错误，much修饰比较级，不能修饰原级；much more quickly快多了，副词比较级；空格在动词后面，判断填副词，根据“After that”可知句子含有和以前作比比较的含义，判断用副词比较级，故选C。

9.句意：另外，让你的美国朋友看看你的写作方式，让他们给你一些改进的建议。

Besides除……之外，着重于另外还有，包含在内；However然而；Therefore因此；下文“it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you're writing, and ask them to give you some suggestions for improvement”，推断除了上文介绍学习口语的方法，还包括下文陈述的关于写作的方法；故选A。

10.句意：以上建议对那些想学英语的人真的很有帮助。

That；which；who都可以当定语从句的关系词，who代指表“人”的先行词在从句中当主语或宾语，which代指表“物”的先行词在从句中当主语或宾语，关系代词that的先行词可以表人也可以表物，在从句中作主语、宾语或表语；本句是定语从句，当先行词是those，代指人，关系词只能用who；故选C。
