【解析】

试题分析：本文主要在学习英语时，教授辩论的重要性。

1.because 考查语境理解题。句意：英语老师不会教辩论，因为他们认为它对学生来说太难了。前后句子是因果关系，故填because。

2.考查语境理解题。句意：它可以帮助学生学会自然地说，仔细地倾听。根据句意可知“仔细”修饰“听”，副词修饰动词，故用careful的副词形式carefully。

3.teaches考查语境理解题。句意：查尔斯．勒博教授在日本教英语和辩论。根据语境可知此句是一般现代时态，主语是第三人称单数，谓语应用第三人单数，故填teaches。

4.called考查语境理解题。句意：他写了一本书叫《探索辩论》。Call在这里是过去分词作后置定语，这本书被叫做《探索辩论》；故填called。

5.to carry考查特殊疑问词+动词不定时。句意： 这本书可以帮助英语学习者了解如何进行一个简单的讨论。特殊疑问词+动词不定时，相当于名词，可知主语，宾语。结合句意可知填to carry。

6.learners考查语境理解题。句意：向英语学习者教授辩论时，勒博推荐先从“控制性练习”开始。。根据下文They learn to identify opinions about everyday topics， such as sports stars， food， weather and habits.可知填复数形式。故填learners。

7.saying考查语境理解题。 句意：学生们两人一组以短对话的形式练习表达观点和陈述理由。练习做某事：practice doing sth.。结合句意可知填saying。

8.but考查语境理解题。句意：他们必须做些阐述，但不要太多。前后句的关系是转折关系，故用but。

9.third。10.，辩论给学生更好的理解西方文化，让学生练习他们的思想。In a word：总而言之，一句话，总之。结合句意可知填a。
