【解析】

許多中學生課后可以與他們最好的朋友自由地談談自己的想法，但在公眾演講能力較差。據大學老師周宏說，最主要的原因是中國的學校更注重寫作，而不是說話。周老師希望學校能給學生更多的機會開口說話，也建議學生多練習，這樣才能有出色的演講，也才能更自信。

【1】句意：李軍認為在他的同班同學面前做演講將會很容易。A我的；B她的；C他的。根據Li Jun, a middle school boy可知本句主語李軍是男孩，故選C。

【2】句意：在同班同學面前做演講要比與他們在玩樂時間說話要困難的多。A更困難；B更容易；C更好。根據前文I was wrong可知作者之前“在同班同學面前做演講很容易”的想法是錯的，故選A。

【3】句意：我感覺就像一個啞巴，并且想要迅速地離開教室。A慢地；B快速地；C悲傷地。根據前文 I tried, but it was really difficult to speak. 可判斷作者陷入和不敢說或不知道說什么的窘境，故想迅速離開，故選B。

【4】句意：現在許多中學生都有相同的問題。A項作動詞意為“回答”；作名詞時意為“答案”；B學科；C問題、麻煩。根據語境可知應選C項。

【5】句意：他們在課后可以自由地與最好的朋友們談論他們的想法，但是不敢在公眾場合發(fā)言。A期待；B從…；來自…；C和… talk about sth. with sb.為固定短語“與…談論…”，根據語境及短語可判斷選C。

【6】句意：根據一個大學老師周宏的說法，其主要原因是現在中國的學校更加關注書面寫作上，而不是在說話交流上。A“聽、聽力”；B“說話”；C“閱讀”。前文闡述很多中學生不敢在公開場合發(fā)言，其原因是學校重視寫作而不重視說話，故應選B。

【7】句意：周希望學校能給予學生更多的機會開口。A嘴巴；B眼睛；C頭腦、思緒。根據后文舉例speech competitions, English corners and class discussions. 可知應多給學生們張嘴說話的機會，故選A。

【8】句意：并且他也給學生們一些建議。A但是；B所以；C并且。前文是對學校的建議，后文是對學生們的建議，故屬于并列關系，故選C。

【9】句意：在你空閑時間里，你應該多多練習。A玩耍；B練習；C寫作。根據語境可知周宏給出的建議是多多練習說話，故選B。

【10】句意：那會使你的演講成為出色的演講，而且你將會更自信。A報告；B保持；C使...、讓。本句中That指代前文周宏的建議，按照建議去做會使演講更優(yōu)秀、使你更自信，故選C。
