【解析】妈妈的爱是世界上最伟大的爱，这篇短文作者讲述了她的妈妈如何通过日常生活中的小事来体现她对作者的关怀，通过这个作者想要告诉我们，要及时回报父母。

【1】句意：对于我来说，妈妈的爱总是很难留意到，因为它都是通过日常生活中的小事表达的。notice 注意，留意；imagine想象；influence影响。根据后半句because it is always expressed through daily tiny things可知，妈妈的爱是通过日常小事来表达的，所以很难留意到，故应选A。

【2】句意：花费了很长的时间才记住他们，但是妈妈非常的有耐心。to enjoy 去享受；to memorize去记住；to mention提到，提及。根据下文That was ___3___ I learned many characters before school.可知，作者在上学之前就学会了很多的汉字，所以是记住他们，故选B。

【3】句意：那就是为什么我在上学之前就学会了很多的汉字。why为什么；when什么时候；where在哪里。根据上文的意思可知，在妈妈的耐心教导下，作者上学之前就学会了很多的汉字，所以这里表示妈妈耐心教导的结果，应用why引导表语从句。That’s why…那就是为什么…。故选A。

【4】句意：几年后成为了一个中学生，我认为我可以被允许自己做决定了。later …之后；long长的；ago…之前。上文讲的是作者上学之前妈妈教她学习汉字，这里是Being a middle school teen，因此应该是几年之后，故选A。

【5】句意：每当我觉得她没有意义时，我都会反驳她。went along with 和…一起；talked back to反驳，顶嘴；got on with与…相处。根据上文I thought I should be allowed to make my own decisions.和这句话中的…I thought she had no point可知，作者认为自己长大了，可以自己做决定了，因此当她觉得妈妈没有道理的时候，她就会反驳，故应选B。

【6】句意：我的妈妈一直说我的成绩还不够好，不表扬我。school 学校；plan计划；grade成绩。根据上句话I did quite well in my studies and came top in the class可知，这里作者说的是她的学习成绩很好，但妈妈总是不表扬她。故应选C。

【7】句意：直到我上了最好的高中我才明白她为什么这样做。before 在…之前；until直到…时候；as当…时候。not…until..直到…时候，才…，这个句型符合句意，故应选B。

【8】句意：就像大多数人一样，我没有注意到妈妈一天天变老这一事实。older 更老的；busier更忙的；quieter更安静的。根据下句话She was already 50 years old when I graduated可知，妈妈一天天变老了。由此可知应选A。

【9】句意：我和爸爸尽了我们的最大努力来拯救她的生命，但是我们失败了。hurried 匆忙；failed失败；succeeded成功。根据上文she was found to have a cancer all of a sudden.和这句话中but表示转折可知，妈妈得了癌症，虽然我和爸爸尽力挽救，但是没有成功。因此应选B。

【10】句意：回报你的父母并不是一件只有你有了工作才能去做的事。parents 父母；friends朋友；teachers老师。根据短文开头It is believed that mother’s love is the greatest love in the world.和文意可知，这篇短文中作者给我们讲述的是妈妈的爱，因此这里应告诉我们要去回报自己的父母。故选A。
