【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲了作为生态学家的作者从小就喜欢自然科学，长大后对化学，生物，物理学科感兴趣，作者喜欢探索新的物种，而他的兴趣和好奇造就了现在的作者。
【1】考查冠词。这里表示泛指，所以需用冠词an，指的是从小的年龄开始。故填an。
【2】考查非谓语动词。Stream与run之间是主谓关系，所以这里需用现在分词作后置定语，故填running。
【3】考查介词。这里指的是兴趣在生物，化学，物理这几门学科上，表示在某方面的兴趣时需用介词in，故填in。
【4】考查过去分词。这里more time与spend之间是动宾关系，表示时间被花费，所以该空需用过去分词，故填spent。
【5】考查过去完成时。根据句意可知，搬到费城是发生在过去的事情，而在搬到费城之前就拜访了亲戚，可知这里拜访亲戚发生在过去的过去，所以该空需用过去完成时，故填had visited。
【6】考查名词复数。这里作者每一个岩石，树丛下面都在检查生命的迹象，所以这里的迹象不止一个，故填signs。
【7】考查形容词。该空需用形容词来说修饰名词snakes，所以需将名词poison改为其形容词形式poisonous。故填poisonous 。
【8】考查副词。这里需用副词来修饰动词grow，eventual为形容词，不能修饰动词，需改为副词形式eventually，故填 eventually。
【9】考查主谓一致。动名词做主语时谓语动词需用单数形式，故填 excites。
【10】考查关系词。make me what I am意为造就了我，为常用搭配，这里指的是兴趣哈爱好造就了现在的我。故填what。
