【解析】

本文讲述了一个自卑的男孩通过一次英语演讲比赛而找回自信的故事。

【1】句意：当我还是个小男孩的时候，我太害羞了，不敢和任何人说话。

短语“too…to do sth.”：太……而不能做……；故答案为to。

【2】句意：我的同学经常嘲笑我。

根据上文“When I was a young boy,”可知作者讲述过去是小男孩的事情，所以使用一般过去时。根据下文“I was sad but could do nothing.”可知“我的同学经常嘲笑我。”laugh at sb.：嘲笑某人，laugh的过去时laughed；故答案为laughed。

【3】句意：这意味着我必须在全校师生面前发言！

根据上文“It was an English speech contest (比赛). My mother asked me to take part in it. What a terrible idea!”可知作者讲述过去参加英语演讲比赛的经历，可知使用一般过去时；mean的过去式meant；故答案为meant。

【4】句意：你一定会赢的。

根据be动词are可知填形容词，surely：无疑，必定，副词；形容词是sure，be sure to do sth.：一定要做某事；故答案为sure。

【5】句意：最后，我选择了“相信自己”这个话题。

作者讲述过去参加英语演讲比赛的经历，可知使用一般过去时；根据语境可知此句句意是“最后，我选择了‘相信自己’这个话题。”choose：选择，过去式是chose；故答案为chose。

【6】句意：当我获得第一名的消息传来时，我简直不敢相信自己的耳朵。

根据上文中“My mother asked me to take part in it. What a terrible idea! ”可知“当我获得第一名的消息传来时，我简直不敢相信自己的耳朵。”hardly [hɑdli]：几乎不，几乎没有；结合音标提示可知答案为hardly。

【7】句意：那些曾经看不起我的同学，现在都向我表示祝贺。

根据上文“…I had won the first place. I heard the cheers from the teachers and students.（我赢得了第一名。我听到老师和学生们的欢呼声。）”congratulations [kngrtjlenz] 祝贺，congratulations to sb.：向……表示祝贺；结合音标提示可知答案为congratulations。

excite：使激动，使兴奋，动词，形容词有excited和exciting，excited一般修饰人，在句子中做表语或补语，exciting一般修饰物，在句子中一般做表语，定语或补语。根据be动词was可知填形容词，结合主语是人，可知填excited。

【9】句意：从那以后，我的一切都变了。

本句是现在完成时，其构成has/have done sth.，可知填过去分词；change的过去分词是changed；故答案为changed。

【10】句意：这不仅适用于一个人，也适用于一个国家。

短语not only…but also...：不但……而且……，不仅……也……；结合句意可知填also。
