【分析】

這是一篇記敘文。文章講述作者英語水平很差，不願再努力，但媽媽告訴作者“不去嘗試永遠做不到”，這讓作者態度開始轉變，經過努力，英語終於取得了很大的進步。

1．考查形容詞。句意：我媽媽茫然的表情很失望。此處形容母親的心情，應該用disappointed形容人。故填disappointed。

2．考查形容詞。句意：我向下凝視，害怕，羞愧，堅定。結合前面afraid, ashamed的形式可知，此處應該用形容詞determined修飾我的心情。故填determined。

3．考查副詞。句意：不管我怎麼努力，英語都不會在我腦子裡紮根。此處用however修飾hard，表示“無論多麼努力”放於句首，首字母大寫。故填However。

4．考查非謂語動詞。句意：我試過幾個小時來提高我的語法，發音和詞彙。此處是目的狀語，應該用不定式，故填to improve。

5．考查動詞時態。句意：在家長會之後，我媽媽被告知我完全沒有興趣。結合語境可知，my mother與tell之間是被動關係，結合時態，應該用一般過去時態。故填was told。

6．考查副詞。句意：我花了整個下午聽媽媽告訴我為什麼我應該試試。分析句子可知，此處用why引導賓語從句，表示為什麼我應該嘗試。故填why。

7．考查介詞。句意：這個簡單的說法深深地刺入了我的記憶。stick in刺入，是固定短語。故填in。

8．考查固定搭配。句意：老師的熱情的微笑，耐心，開朗的態度，還有我對學習的渴望，都足夠起作用。make a difference起作用，有影響，是固定搭配。故填a。

9．考查代詞。句意：幾天後，我發現自己能用英語進行了完整的對話，甚至正確地使用了成語。主語和賓語一致時，賓語應該用相應的反身代詞，故填myself。

10．考查非謂語動詞。句意：幾天後，我發現自己用英語進行了完整的對話，甚至正確地使用了成語。and連線having和using，前後形式一致。故填using。
