I have a very special relationship with books. We didn't have a TV growing up, so 1 whole family would get together in my brother's room every night. While my mum knitted(编织), my father would read aloud to us for hours. We loved J. K. Rowling's exciting stories of Harry Potter and lost 2 (we) in her world of magic. Before I entered the first grade, we had already finished the seven books of the Harry Potter series.
3 I loved the stories in the books, learning how to read them was a very big challenge—I had dyslexia(阅读障碍). This meant my brain had trouble 4 (put) the letters in the correct order, making reading and writing much 5 (hard) for me. I finally learned to read at the start of the 6 (four) grade with the help of a tutor(家庭教师).
Instead of making me run away from books, my dyslexia made me want to read even more. My parents often took me to a bookstore near our home. I bought a book about Helen Keller there and read it many times. I was deeply 7 (touch) by Helen Keller's story of dealing with blindness and deafness with great courage. I 8 (build) confidence and had a lasting love for reading.
Reading became a beautiful part of my life. For my parents, reading was like breathing. Our home was filled 9 books, and my mum and dad always talked about what they were reading. Being able to join these conversations made me feel like I was 10 (true) a part of the family.

【分析】
首先通读全文，理解文章讲述作者与书籍的特殊关系，以及虽有阅读障碍仍热爱阅读的故事。解题时需结合上下文语境、固定搭配、语法规则逐一分析每个空：
1. 考查固定搭配“the whole + 名词”，表示“整个……”，故填定冠词the；
2. 考查固定短语“lose oneself in”（沉浸于），主语为we，对应反身代词ourselves；
3. 考查连词，前半句“爱书中的故事”与后半句“学习阅读是挑战”为转折关系，故用Although/Though；
4. 考查固定搭配“have trouble (in) doing sth”（做某事有困难），介词in可省略，故填动名词putting；
5. 考查形容词比较级，much修饰比较级，hard的比较级为harder；
6. 考查序数词，“四年级”需用序数词fourth；
7. 考查被动语态，“被感动”用过去分词touched；
8. 考查动词时态，与后面的had并列，用一般过去式built；
9. 考查固定搭配“be filled with”（充满），故填介词with；
10. 考查副词，修饰名词短语a part，用副词truly。
【解析】
1. 固定搭配“the whole family”意为“整个家庭”，需填定冠词the；
2. 固定短语“lose oneself in”中，主语是we，反身代词用ourselves，故填ourselves；
3. 前后句为转折让步关系，用Although或Though引导让步状语从句；
4. 固定结构“have trouble doing sth”，故将动词put变为动名词putting；
5. much用于修饰形容词比较级，形容词hard的比较级是harder，故填harder；
6. 表示“四年级”需用序数词，four的序数词是fourth；
7. 此处为被动语态“be + 过去分词”，touch的过去分词是touched，故填touched；
8. 由并列的过去式had可知，此处用一般过去时，build的过去式是built；
9. 固定搭配“be filled with”表示“充满”，故填介词with；
10. 此处修饰名词短语a part，需用副词，true的副词形式是truly，故填truly。
