【解析】

本文講述了作者在八歲的時候，他的媽媽給他辦了一張圖書卡，從那以后，他閱讀了很多有關歷史、藝術、詩歌的書，長大后他才明白是圖書館打開了世界的大門。

【1】句意：當我八歲的時候，我媽媽告訴我穿上外套，因為我們要去一些特別的地方。

special 特別的；strange 奇怪的；lovely 活潑的；strict 嚴格的�？崭裉幨切揎�somewhere，從句意上，排除C選項。根據(jù)Usually, that meant we were going to see someone important“通常，那意味著我們要去見某些重要的人”，可知，空格處表示“特別的地方”，所以填special。故選A。

【2】句意：媽媽告訴我將會得到比玩具更好的東西。

worse 更差；better 更好；cheaper 更便宜；uglier 更丑陋。句中有than，所以用形容詞的比較級。根據(jù)下文介紹可知，最后作者是得到了一張圖書卡，所以此空處表示“比玩具更好的東西”，用better符合語境。故選B。

【3】句意：那意味著我們將要買一個玩具商店嗎？

model 模型；car 汽車；card 卡；store 商店�？崭袂安欢ü谠~a，空格處填可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)。根據(jù)She said I would get “access to a world of toys”，可知，媽媽的這句話讓作者誤以為媽媽所說的玩具世界意味著要買一個玩具商店，所以空格處填store。故選D。

【4】句意：媽媽把車開進了一座大樓前的停車場，那座大樓看起上像是過去的某個東西。

otherwise 否則；however 然而；anyway 無論如何；instead 相反地。根據(jù)But we did not end up at any toy store. Neither did we finally see anyone we knew，可知，作者以為媽媽會帶他去玩具商店或見什么認識的人，但是，事實上并不是這樣的，所以空格處填instead符合語境。故選D。

【5】句意：它看起來一點也不現(xiàn)代。

smell 聞；look 看；taste 嘗；feeling 感覺。固定搭配not…at all 一點也不。根據(jù)a building that looked like something out of the past，可知，這個大樓看起來一點也不現(xiàn)代，所以空格處填look。故選B。

【6】句意：因為有一個牌子寫著“馬西公共圖書館”。

said 說；printed �。�spoke 說；read 讀。固定搭配，形容指示牌上寫著什么內(nèi)容，用動詞say。因為空格所在句子用的是一般過去時，所以空格處填said。故選A。

【7】句意：她跟在桌子后面的那個人說：“我想給我女兒辦一張圖書卡”。

over 在……上（垂直）；above 在……上（不一定垂直）；on 在……上（與物體相互接觸）；behind 在……后。根據(jù)my mother led me to the front desk，可知，此人是站在前臺接待處桌子的后面，所以填介詞behind。故選D。

【8】句意：我不好意思回答，我只有微笑。

choose 選擇；reply 回答；borrow 借；scream 尖叫。固定搭配too…to 太……而不能。根據(jù)I only smiled，可知，空格處表示“我不好意思回答”，所以空格處填reply。故選B。

【9】句意：我不記得那天我挑選出什么。

what 什么；how 怎樣；when 何時；why 為什么。根據(jù)句意，空格處是作pick out的賓語，所以用疑問詞what。故選A。

【10】句意：圖書館為我打開了一個我從未知曉的世界。

ever 曾經(jīng)；always 總是；never 從不；already 已經(jīng)。根據(jù)but I know that in the years that followed I read through books on history, books of poetry, and books about art，可知，經(jīng)過這些年的閱讀經(jīng)歷，我才知道圖書館是為我打開了一個全新的世界，而這種意識在我媽媽帶我辦卡的那天之前是從未有的，所以空格處用never符合語境。故選C。
