【解析】

短文主要讲述了去年作者不喜欢英语课，每一节课就像一场噩梦，后来有一天，作者看了一部英文电影叫《玩具总动员》，从此作者就喜欢上英语课了。并且得出兴趣是学习语言秘诀的结论。

【1】句意：去年我一点也不喜欢我的英语课。四个选项中的单词都可以用作助动词，A. don't一般现在时；B. didn't一般过去时；C. haven't现在完成时；D. hadn't过去完成时。根据时间状语Last year判断，句子的时态为一般过去时，因此助动词要用didn’t，答案为B。

【2】句意：由于我的发音不好我害怕回答问题。A. proud自豪的；B. afraid害怕的；C. happy高兴的；D. excited兴奋的。根据后面的句子“I just hid behind my textbook and never said ___4___.”可以判断，作者不敢回答老师提出的问题，be afraid to do sth.害怕做某事，故答案为B。

【3】句意：由于我的发音不好我害怕回答问题。A. because of因为，由于，后跟代词/名词(名词性短语)/动词的ing形式；B. because因为，后跟从句；C. since由于，后面跟从句；D. as由于，当…时候，后面跟从句。只有A答案符合题意。

【4】句意：我只是藏在课本后面，一言不发。A. anything任何东西（用于否定句、疑问句中）；B. something一些事情；C. nothing没有东西，没有事情；D. everything每件事物，一切。never是否定词，此句是否定句，故使用不定代词anything，答案为A。

【5】句意：后来有一天我看了一部叫《玩具总动员》的英文电影。现在分词与过去分词都可以用作后置定语，现在分词作后置定语，与所修饰的词之间是主动关系，过去分词作后置定语，与所修饰的词之间是被动的关系，called Toy Story作an English movie的后置定语，意为一部被叫作《玩具总动员》的英文电影。表示被动关系，故答案为A。

【6】句意：因此我也开始看其它的英文电影。A. as well“也”，放于句尾，前面没有标点符号；B. too“也”，常置于句末，前面有逗号；C. also“也”，一般用于句子中，其位置在行为动词之前，be动词，助动词，情态动词之后；D. neither两者都不。本题所设空在句末，且前面有标点符号，故答案为B。

【7】句意：我也意识到我能通过听关键词来理解意思。by是介词，后面要用名词或动名词，by doing sth.通过做某事的方式，故答案为C。

【8】句意：我在字典中查询它们。look up在（词典、参考书中）查阅；look for寻找；look at看一看；look after照顾。根据前面的内容可知，不会的单词在字典中查询，故答案为A。
