【解析】

试题分析：

1.．结合下文可知，Leo好像是哑巴，尽管他在其他方面很正常，故though符合题意。

2.．结合下文中的“speak”可知，Green夫妇试了所有的办法，想要他开口说话，故speak符合题意。

3.．主语是the best doctors“最好的医生”，医生仔细为他做了检查，故examined符合题意。

4.．Leo好像很聪明，但就是“从不”说话，放never符合题意。

5.．由其后的“他不知道他会说话”可知，医生觉得Leo的“心智”出了问题。故mind符合题意。

6.．结合上文的描述可知，另一个医生也觉得非常“奇怪”，故strange符合题意。

7.．上文中提到了“When Leo was six years old...”以及其后的“Leo went to university.”可推断，几年过去了。故years符合题意。

8.．句意：但是他还是一言不发。由句意可知single符合题意。

9.．结合上文中的“Leo was having a meal...”可知答案为B。

10.．当时Green夫妇问的是“你为什么等了这么长时间才说话”，故waited符合题意。
