首先通读全文理解大意：文章围绕学生在公共场合演讲的紧张感受、学校对写作与口语的关注，以及提升英语的方式展开。解题时需结合每个空的语境、语法要求（词性、形式变化），从方框内词汇中选择并变形：
1. 第1空：李军原本以为“做演讲”容易，此处作宾语从句主语，需用动名词形式；
2. 第2空：修饰动词shook（抖动），需用副词，方框内的bad需变副词；
3. 第3空：由than可知需用比较级，对应方框内的短语要调整为比较级形式；
4. 第4空：句首表“除…之外（还有）”，需用介词；
5. 第5空：由“成长为好的…”可知需填名词，对应方框内的动词要变名词。

3. 第3空：句中出现than，需用比较级，pay much attention to的比较级为pay more attention to，符合“学校更关注写作而非口语”的语境，故填pay more attention to；
4. 第4空：空格位于句首，表“除参加英语角外，还要在日常用英语”，用Besides，故填Besides；
5. 第5空：由“成长为好的…”可知需填名词，learn对应的名词是learner，故填learner。

【分析】
本题为短文填空题，围绕日本学生使用AI学习语言的调查展开，主要考查语法知识（时态、词性）及固定搭配的运用。解题思路：先通读全文理解主旨，再结合每个空的前后语境、语法结构（如时态要求、词性修饰对象、固定搭配规则）确定正确形式。例如第1空根据现在进行时结构确定用doing形式；第3空根据谓语were确定主语为复数名词；第7空根据修饰对象（AI）确定用-ing形式的形容词；第9空根据固定搭配teach oneself确定反身代词形式等。

3. 空后谓语动词为were，主语需用复数名词，find的名词形式finding的复数为findings，意为“发现”，故填findings。
4. 固定搭配“the number of”表示“……的数量”，句首单词首字母大写，故填The。
5. 固定搭配“be popular with/among”表示“受……欢迎”，故填with或among。
6. 前文提到AI受欢迎，后文转折说明部分年轻人不满意，需用转折副词，句首首字母大写，故填However。
7. 修饰物（AI）需用-ing形式的形容词，bored修饰人，boring修饰物，故填boring。
8. 全文为过去的调查内容，时态用一般过去时，choose的过去式为chose，故填chose。
9. 固定搭配“teach oneself”表示“自学”，主语为people，对应反身代词themselves，故填themselves。
10. 修饰动词getting需用副词，slow的副词形式为slowly，故填slowly。

你在中学的学习生活中是否有薄弱的学科？你是如何克服困难的？请写一篇100词左右的英文作文，讲述你的学习经历和计划。
答案：When I started Grade 8, I found Maths much harder than before. After failing some tests, my Maths teacher talked to me and encouraged me not to give up. This gave me strong drive to learn. I decided to work harder.
First, I listened to the teacher more carefully in class. I put up my hand in time to ask questions when I didn't understand anything rather than keep quiet. Besides schoolwork, I asked my teacher for other exercises and practised more. When I had trouble, I taught myself by searching online or asked my classmates for help. It came as no surprise that my Maths improved.
Now, I know that practice makes perfect. I will keep working as hard as possible. Maths is still difficult for me, but I believe I can do better!
