Are you nervous when you stand in front of the public? Are you afraid of making a speech?
Li Jun, a middle school boy, felt shy when he was making a speech the other day. 1 first, Li thought it quite easy because he had already practised at 2 (little) five times. "I was totally wrong. It was very different and much 3 (hard) than talking to my classmates during playtime," Li said. "I felt 4 (help) and wanted to leave the classroom quickly."
Li is not alone. Many middle school students now have the same problem: they can talk about their ideas freely with their best friends after class, 5 they can't speak in public. According to Zhou Hong, 6 teacher from a university, the main reason is that schools in China pay more attention to 7 (write) instead of speaking.
Zhou hopes schools can give students more chances to open their mouths, such as speech competitions, English corners and class discussions. He also offers some 8 (suggest) to students. "During your free time, you should practise more. When you're speaking in public, take it easy. Just imagine you're talking to nobody and speak up your ideas 9 (clear), which helps you to be at the 10 (high) of your powers," Zhou said. "That makes a fine public speech and you will be happy."

【分析】本题为英语语法填空题，需结合语境、固定搭配、词性变化、比较级、连词、冠词等语法知识逐个解题。先通读全文理解主旨，再针对每个空格分析：1. 考查固定搭配“at first”；2. 考查固定短语“at least”；3. 由“than”判断用比较级；4. 结合语境需填形容词表“无助的”；5. 前后为转折关系用连词；6. 泛指一位老师用不定冠词；7. “pay attention to”后接动名词；8. “some”后接可数名词复数；9. 修饰动词用副词；10. 考查固定搭配“at the height of”。
【解析】1. 固定搭配“at first”意为“起初”，故填At；2. 固定短语“at least”意为“至少”，little的最高级为least，故填least；3. 由句中“than”可知用比较级，hard的比较级是harder，故填harder；4. 结合语境“想快速离开教室”，需填形容词“无助的”，help的形容词helpless，故填helpless；5. 前半句“课后和好友自由交流”与后半句“当众不能说”为转折关系，故填but；6. 泛指一位大学老师，teacher以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a，故填a；7. “pay attention to”中to为介词，后接动名词，write的动名词是writing，故填writing；8. “some”后接可数名词复数，suggest的名词复数是suggestions，故填suggestions；9. 修饰动词“speak”需用副词，clear的副词是clearly，故填clearly；10. 固定搭配“at the height of”意为“在……的顶峰”，high的名词是height，故填height。
【答案】1. At 2. least 3. harder 4. helpless 5. but 6. a 7. writing 8. suggestions 9. clearly 10. height

(happy). Soon it flew high up in the sky. After some time, the son thought to himself
(him), “It seems that the string(线) makes it hard for the kite to fly higher. If I cut it, the kite will be free to fly higher.” So he asked his father for a small knife and cut the string. Without
the string, the kite did go a little bit higher. However, it soon started to come down and landed on a
tall tree. The son was sad. He wished that the kite could fly higher after he cut the string instead of falling
(fall) down. He turned to his father for an explanation.“Well, the string wasn’t holding the kite down. In fact, it was helping it stay up when the wind was calm and guiding it in the right direction when the wind picked up,” the father explained. “When you cut the string just now, the kite
