【解析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者以前害怕在公众面前讲话,但后来克服了恐惧心理,最终随着自信的增长,成了一名伟大的演说家。

【1】考查副词。分析句子结构可知,该句中副词修饰形容词 shy,故填 terribly。

【2】考查非谓语动词。该句中 with 复合结构中的so many eyes与fix之间为被动关系,故用过去分词形式。短语 fix one’s eyes on 把目光集中在……。故填 fixed。

【3】 考查名词。no 后接名词,且该句式为 have no choice but to do sth. 意为“除了做某事外,别无选择” 。故填 choice。

【4】考查动词时态。根据本文的时间状语 at the age of 9可知,本句应为一般过去时态,且短语lie in意为“ 在于”,lie 当“存在,位于”讲时,其过去式为 lay,过去分词为 lain。 故填 lay。

【5】考查关系副词。分析句子结构可知,该句为间隔式定语从句,其先行词为 The real moment,且定语从句中有主语和宾语,故填 when 来引导该定语从句。

【6】 考查非谓语性动词。此句中，Gradually I found myself back, ___6___ (deliver) my speech with difficulty. deliver逻辑主语和句子主语同是I，并且是主动的关系，故填delivering。

【7】 考查代词。根据上文的“I found my audience applauding”可知,“我”成功了。短语 make it意为“成功”。故填 it。

【8】考察名词的用法。my是物主所有格，其后应接名词，故应把形容词改为名词形式。故填confidence 。

【9】考查介词。根据语境可知,此处表示“通往成功的最大的困难是我们的恐惧” ,故填to。

【10】考查连词。该句考查固定句型:祈使句+and+陈述句。故填 and。
