【分析】
本题为英语综合填空题，需结合固定搭配、词性、连词、时态等语法知识逐一分析：1. 固定搭配“in size”表“在尺寸上”；2. 需用名词复数表“读者”；3. 固定搭配“encourage sb to do sth”；4. 前后句转折用but；5. be动词后用形容词；6. 泛指单数名词用a；7. 转折后用最高级；8. 句首用副词修饰句子；9. 未来时间用一般将来时；10. “in my life”用现在完成时。
【解析】
1. 考查固定搭配。“in size”是固定短语，意为“在尺寸上”，符合语境，故填in；
2. 考查名词复数。此处指图书馆的读者，不止一人，需用reader的复数形式readers；
3. 考查非谓语动词。“encourage sb to do sth”为固定用法，意为“鼓励某人做某事”，故填to pass；
4. 考查连词。前后句为转折关系，前句徐推荐书给学生，后句学生难从校图书馆获取，故用转折连词but；
5. 考查形容词。be动词后需接形容词作表语，thank对应的形容词是thankful，意为“感激的”，符合语境；
6. 考查冠词。此处泛指“一个实体空间”，physical以辅音音素开头，故用不定冠词a；
7. 考查形容词最高级。前文提到smallest，结合转折语境，此处表示“最大的”，big的最高级是biggest；
8. 考查副词。此处修饰整个句子，需用副词，amazing的副词形式为Amazingly，句首首字母大写；
9. 考查动词时态。时间状语“in the future”提示用一般将来时，结构为will+动词原形，故填will continue；
10. 考查动词时态。“in my life”常与现在完成时连用，主语为I，故填have done。
【答案】
1.in 2.readers 3.to pass 4.but 5.thankful 6.a 7.biggest 8.Amazingly 9.will continue 10.have done
