【解析】

Marina是个小女孩，她害怕黑夜而在晚上不敢睡觉。一天，她的姑姑Valerie来看望她，给她讲了一个自己曾经也害怕黑暗的故事。小女孩受姑姑的开导，不再害怕黑夜。

【1】句意：她如此害怕黑夜以至于它在晚上不能入睡。本题考查so…that…结构，意为“如此…以至于…”，故填that。

【2】句意：她认为晚上有怪物。所给词monster是可数名词，意为“怪物”，本句谓语动词为复数形式，故monster也要变复数。

【3】句意：突然，当我正在电视上看我最喜欢的卡通片时，天开始下大雨。Rain此处为实义动词，意为“下雨”，需要用副词来修饰。“雨下得大”，故将形容词heavy改为副词heavily。

【4】句意：我很害怕，所以我们没有移动我的身体。根据语境可知本空应填动词“移动”，由于置于情态动词后，故填原形move。

【5】句意：大怪物大声地击打着窗户。beat against为固定短语，意为“击打，敲击”，故本题填against。

【6】句意：当她打开门时，我正大声地哭泣。根据语境，当妈妈开门的一刻，我应是正在哭泣。本句包含when引导的时间状语从句，当从句使用过去时，主句可以使用过去进行时。故本题填was crying.

【7】句意：她站起来让我和她一起关上窗户。ask sb. to do为固定短语，意为“要求某人去做某事”根据语境，母亲是让我和她一起去关窗户，故填to close。

【8】句意：我突然意识到噪声是来自于电视的。此处realized为动词过去式形式，需要用副词修饰，结合语境及语法要求，故填suddenly。

【9】句意：听到这，玛瑞娜也笑了。她的姑姑继续（讲到）：事实上，世界上没有怪物。本空后面引号里的内容是姑姑继续说的话，通篇文章基本使用一般过去时态，故本空填continued。

【10】句意：如果你在黑夜中发现奇怪的事物，你可以触碰它直到你发现事实真相。分析题干可知，本句缺少连词引导时间状语从句。Until为连词，意为：直到…为止。结合本句句意可知应填until。
