【解析】

本文主要通过现在与过去的对比讲述了我姐姐在最近几年的改变。

【1】句意：她过去的几年里已经改变了很多，我父母总是经常说她已经长大了。从下面一句话“My parents often say she has grown up.” 可知我姐姐在最近几年有很大的变化，前面有has说明是现在完成时，故填changed。

【2】句意：过去她很害怕乘飞机。从后文When we used to travel to somewhere far away, she didn't want to go there by plane.可知她害怕乘坐飞机，故填plane。

【3】句意：她宁愿乘火车虽然火车要慢的多。从前后句子之间的关系可以判断这里是表示让步，故用even though, 虽然，尽管，故填though。

【4】句意：她过去很害怕黑。从语境及这个句子的结构可以判断这里表示害怕be afraid of，故填afraid。

【5】句意：她每天晚上睡觉都需要卧室亮着灯。根据后文“every night”可知这里表示去睡觉go to bed , 故填bed。

【6】句意：她也害怕昆虫比如说蜘蛛。根据前文“She used to be afraid of…..”所以这里是She was also afraid of…., 她也害怕….., 因为横线在句子的中间，所以用also 表示也，故填also。

【7】句意：她过去很喜欢每天吃糖。根据后文“She never eats candy”现在不吃糖了，说明过去很喜欢吃糖，所以用used to do sth 表示过去常常做某事，故填used。

【8】句意：但是她现在不害怕黑，也不害怕蜘蛛了。根据前文的描述，她害怕黑暗和蜘蛛，看到“But”表示转折，所以现在不害怕这些了，这里表示否定，所以用or表示和，故填or。

【9】句意：她现在从不吃糖，也很关注她的健康了。这里用到短语pay attention to注意，故填attention。

【10】句意：我的妈妈经常让我向她学习。既然她改变如此大，所以我妈妈要求我向她学习，learn from sb 向某人学习，前面有to, 所以这里用to do不定式，故填learn。

通读全文，理解文章大意，在猜测空格所填的具体单词时，需要根据上下文一些单词，短语或句子的提示，以及上下语句之间的联系，推断出正确答案，例如第6小题，根据前文“She used to be afraid of…..”所以这里是She was also afraid of…., 她也害怕….., 因为横线在句子的中间，所以用also 表示也，故填also。
