解析：
【分析】
做完形填空首先要先通读全文，理清文章主旨：本文是记叙文，讲述了作者四岁入学时完全不懂英语，凭借“永不放弃”的信念刻苦学好英语，之后还帮助同样零基础的朋友掌握英语，多年来坚持学习，现在学习日语也始终坚持的故事，传递了“肯坚持就能攻克学习难关”的道理。解题时不要孤立看单个句子选答案，要优先定位每个空对应的上下文提示线索，结合因果、转折等逻辑关系匹配词义，全部选完后还要代入全文通读，验证整体逻辑是否通顺，避免出现前后矛盾的情况。
【解析】
1. 根据后文多处提到的作者一开始只会西班牙语，后续努力学习英语的相关内容，可知作者入学时完全不懂英语，选B。
2. 后文给出提示“我没法和其他孩子交流”，没法和同龄人沟通的感受是孤单的，选D。
3. 后文说明“我从来不习惯和其他人交谈”，不习惯主动和人交流对应的性格是害羞的，选B。
4. 作者完全不懂英语，所以在他听来英语只是一堆混杂的声音，符合听不懂外语的状态，选A。
5. 前文提到老师说英语，这里指老师说出的英语单词在作者听来越来越快，像龙卷风一样在脑海里刮过，选C。
6. 后文说明作者非常困惑不知道该做什么，对应他根本跟不上、理解不了老师说的内容，follow在这里表示“跟上、理解”，选A。
7. 后文提到作者开始努力学英语，说明他一直告诉自己不要放弃，对应全文的核心主题“never give up”，选A。
8. 第二年作者遇到了自己的朋友Jack，meet表示“结识、遇见”符合语境，选B。
9. 后文提示Jack和当初的作者一样刚入学，一开始也不懂英语，选A。
10. 后文提到Jack最后慢慢掌握了英语，说明作者是教他这门很难的语言，选C。
11. 句中出现转折词but，说明前后语义相反：一开始教Jack学英语的过程很枯燥，但是最后Jack适应了英语，很快就学会了，选B。
12. 这里对应全文“坚持学习”的主线，我们每年都坚持学越来越多的内容，keep doing表示持续做某事，选D。
13. 多年坚持学习英语之后，现在我们俩都是英语说得很好的人，English speakers符合语境，选A。
14. 作者从幼儿园到八年级所有科目全A，别人问他的秘诀是什么，他回答永不放弃，secret表示“秘诀”符合语境，选C。
15. 句中出现转折词but，说明前后语义相反：学日语可能有点难，但是我会坚持学下去，选B。
