【解析】

本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要描述了作者即将去美国的感受。

1.考查冠词。place是可数名词，表示泛指前应用冠词a。故答案为a。

2.考查形容词性物主代词。此处应用形容词性物主代词来修饰名词language。故答案为their。

3.考查固定搭配。be different from“与……不同”，因此使用difference的形容词形式different。

4.考查定语从句的引导词。先行词是nobody，指人，在定语从句中作宾语，故答案为that/who/whom。

5.考查定语从句。句意：那是一个悲伤的时刻，我不得不和我的家人和朋友说再见。此处moment是先行词，在后面的定语从句中做时间状语，故答案为when。

6.考查动词不定式。want to do sth“想做某事”，因此使用动词不定式充当want的宾语。故答案为to leave。

7.考查名词复数。句意：我不想离开我的家乡，因为我在那里长大，对那里有着美好的回忆。结合句意可知此处名词用复数形式，故答案为memories。

8.考查动名词作主语。句意：想到所有这些变化使我紧张不安。此处是动名词短语做主语，故答案为thinking。

9.考查动词时态或形容词充当表语。句意：我担心我的新生活。worry about担心……；位于be动词用应使用动词worry的形容词形式worried，be worried about“对……感到担忧”。结合句意可知句子用一般过去时态，故答案为worried/was worried。

10.考查名词。句意：但出国留学是我自己做的决定。make a decision做出决定，故答案为decision。
