【解析】

试题分析：短文大意：本短文属于记叙文。通过实例讲述学生们普遍存在的在公共场合讲话的不自然问题，并围绕这一现象作了分析，试图找到解决的办法。

1.

2.，难度比跟我的同学玩耍时大的多。harder 形容词比较级，更难；easier形容词比较级，更容易些；better形容词，更好；worse形容词，更差。根据语境与句意可知该选A。

3.，想快速地离开教室。Slowly慢地；quickly快地；sadly 伤心地；happily高兴地。根据语境与句意可知该选B。

4.

5.，但不能在公众场合说话。Except除了；beside在……旁边；for为了；with和……一起。使用talk with，同……交谈。可知该选D。

6.，一所大学的一名教师，主要原因是在中国的学校更加注重写作而不是说话。speaks说，第三人称单数；speaking动名词；spoke过去式；speak动词，说。本文一直围绕“说”的话题。老师认为，“写”代替了“说”。Of是介词，后面跟动名词。根据句意结合语境可知该选B。

7. 心；ideas想法。后面的几项都跟“说”有关，因此这里是“开口说”的意思。可知该选A。

8. 但是；So所以；And并且；However然而。后面句子跟前面是并列关系，补充说明，用and连接。根据句意结合语境可知该选C。

9. D考查动词及语境理解。句意：在你的空闲时间你应该多练习。 play 玩；ask问；write写； practice练习。意思是“多练习”。因为只有练得多，才熟能生巧。所以选D。

10.，你就会感到自信。reports 报道；keeps保持；makes 构成、成就；has有。按照Zhou老师的建议来做，就会产生好的演讲。根据句意结合语境可知该选C。
