【解析】

这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述在作者对于自己的舅妈Carmeleta的怀念，她对自己的忠告一直影响着作者：做自己。

1.考查让步状语从句。句意：虽然我的叔叔弗雷德多年前就去世了，现在卡梅莱塔阿姨嫁给了肯，但我仍然认为她是我的阿姨。分析可知，前后句为让步转折关系，though/although/while可放在句首引导让步状语从句。故填Though/Although/While。

2.考查时态和被动结构。句意：虽然我的叔叔弗雷德多年前就去世了，现在卡梅莱塔阿姨嫁给了肯，但我仍然认为她是我的阿姨。分析可知，表示“结婚”，用be married to sb.。故填is married。

3.考查冠词。句意：每个人都应该有一个像卡梅莱塔阿姨那样的好阿姨。可数名词单数表泛指，其前用不定冠词。故填a。

4.考查动名词和固定结构。句意：像许多青少年一样，我很难与那些说我坏话的玩伴或同学相处。固定结构 have problems doing sth.表示做某事有困难。该句中的 associate with sb.表示“与某人交往”。故填associating。

5.考查副词。句意：像许多青少年一样，我很难与那些说我坏话的玩伴或同学相处。修饰动词 talked，用副词形式negatively。故填negatively。

6.考查形容词。句意：如果你曾经遇到过这种情况，你就会明白这有多痛苦。该空为宾语从句中的表语，故用形容词。故填painful。

7.考查时态。句意：事实上，这是我记忆中得到的最好的建议。由since 引导的时间状语从句可知，主句常用现在完成时。故填have received。

8.考查动词不定式。句意：我明白了不是每个人都会喜欢你，没关系。只是做你自己。表示“打算、意图做某事”，用 be going to do。故填to like。

9.考查名词。句意：但是这些年来他已经发现了真相。分析可知，定冠词 the 后应接名词。故填truth。

10.考查定语从句。句意：在这个世界上，我们需要更多像卡梅莱塔阿姨那样能给我们好的建议、善良和有爱心的人。从句子结构分析，___10___ give great advice and are kind and caring like Aunt Carmeleta应是之前名词people 的定语从句，先行词在从句中作主语，故用 who 或 that 引导定语从句，修饰 people。故填who/that。
