解析

试题分析：本文讲述了作者原来很害羞，但是后来在妈妈的帮助下经过努力，在演讲比赛中活动第一名的故事，从而变成一个自信的人。
小题1:根据题干及下文内容可知，本句的意思是“我太害羞而不与他人讲话。”故选too shy to。
小题2:根据上句可知，作者很害羞，其原因是作者害怕别人嘲笑自己。故用laughed at。
小题3:根据语境，这是他妈妈安慰他的话，其意思应是“你一定会赢。”故选sure。
小题4:根据题干，本句的意思是“我尽我最大的努力记住所有的演讲内容。”“尽最大努力”是try one’s best.故填tried my best。
小题5:根据题干，本句的意思是”当我获得第一名的消息传来的时候，我几乎不能相信自己的耳朵。”所以本题选could hardly。
点评：在阅读时，应该注意事情发展的顺序，根据文章的意思，进行合理的推测，从而选出合适的单词；另外，应注意文章的时态，上下句的关系等。当然本题所给的词，已经进行了变形，相对就容易的多了。
