【解析】作者介绍中国学生英语口语差的三个原因。

【1】考查冠词。此处为固定搭配：quite a few：相当多，不少。故填a。

【2】考查连词。前后句子间是转折关系：语法好，但是口语查。因为前一句有连词though，不能用but，故用yet，也有但是的意思。

【3】考查连词。前一句他们说口语差，但是他们的口语不必永远差下去，转折关系，逗号隔开，故填However。

【4】考查名词单复数。Reason前有some修饰，表示一些，应用复数，故填reasons。

【5】考查形容词。此处意为他们的英语口语，应说成：spoken English。故填spoken。

【6】考查代词。他们无法找到合适的词来表达他们自己，此处意为他们自己，用反身代词，故填themselves。

【7】考查序数词。前面已经说了两个原因了，故此处是第三个，用序数词，third。

【8】考查时态语态。没有用足够的注意力来注意听。Attention和pay之间是被动关系，因为有固定短语pay attention to，此外文章是用现在时来描述的，主语是单数，故填is paid。

【9】考查连词。你就会忘记你所知道的东西。宾语从句，从句缺少宾语，意为东西，故填what。

【10】考查介词。此处表示方式，通过的意思，通过更多的说英语，用介词by。
