【解析】

许多中学生课后可以与他们最好的朋友自由地谈谈自己的想法，但在公众演讲能力较差。据大学老师周宏说，最主要的原因是中国的学校更注重写作，而不是说话。周老师希望学校能给学生更多的机会开口说话，也建议学生多练习，这样才能有出色的演讲，也才能更自信。

【1】句意：李军认为在他的同班同学面前做演讲将会很容易。A我的；B她的；C他的。根据Li Jun, a middle school boy可知本句主语李军是男孩，故选C。

【2】句意：在同班同学面前做演讲要比与他们在玩乐时间说话要困难的多。A更困难；B更容易；C更好。根据前文I was wrong可知作者之前“在同班同学面前做演讲很容易”的想法是错的，故选A。

【3】句意：我感觉就像一个哑巴，并且想要迅速地离开教室。A慢地；B快速地；C悲伤地。根据前文 I tried, but it was really difficult to speak. 可判断作者陷入和不敢说或不知道说什么的窘境，故想迅速离开，故选B。

【4】句意：现在许多中学生都有相同的问题。A项作动词意为“回答”；作名词时意为“答案”；B学科；C问题、麻烦。根据语境可知应选C项。

【5】句意：他们在课后可以自由地与最好的朋友们谈论他们的想法，但是不敢在公众场合发言。A期待；B从…；来自…；C和… talk about sth. with sb.为固定短语“与…谈论…”，根据语境及短语可判断选C。

【6】句意：根据一个大学老师周宏的说法，其主要原因是现在中国的学校更加关注书面写作上，而不是在说话交流上。A“听、听力”；B“说话”；C“阅读”。前文阐述很多中学生不敢在公开场合发言，其原因是学校重视写作而不重视说话，故应选B。

【7】句意：周希望学校能给予学生更多的机会开口。A嘴巴；B眼睛；C头脑、思绪。根据后文举例speech competitions, English corners and class discussions. 可知应多给学生们张嘴说话的机会，故选A。

【8】句意：并且他也给学生们一些建议。A但是；B所以；C并且。前文是对学校的建议，后文是对学生们的建议，故属于并列关系，故选C。

【9】句意：在你空闲时间里，你应该多多练习。A玩耍；B练习；C写作。根据语境可知周宏给出的建议是多多练习说话，故选B。

【10】句意：那会使你的演讲成为出色的演讲，而且你将会更自信。A报告；B保持；C使...、让。本句中That指代前文周宏的建议，按照建议去做会使演讲更优秀、使你更自信，故选C。
