本文讲述在高中时期喜剧表演排练及演出中所展现出的"我"和朋友间的团队精神和深刻友谊。

1. A根据上文的"when I heard my name called for the leading role in our high school play"中的role可知,该处应选part表"角色"。

2. C由文章首句及下文"He often said my lines with me by silently moving his lips."可知,他对这部话剧也很感兴趣,故C项"兴奋地"

3. B choose sb. for/as…"选某人为... ",为固定表达。

4. C依据下文的"because I had a lot of lines to memorize"可知,作者要记很多的台词,应该会觉得"紧张"。

5. A count on"指望,依赖""end to"趋于";talk with"与某人谈话";agree with"同意某人说的话"。依据文章的语境可知,作者是"信赖" 这个朋友的。

6. D依据该段话的意思可知,作者跟他的朋友Kevin组成了一个小组,make"组成,构成"。很明显,文章没有说加入别的组或创立一个小组。

7. A由上文的"working hard with the set crew" 可知,朋友除了忙剧组的工作外,还花大量的时间帮我记台词。故朋友是在做两件事情,因此选A项。

8. D由文章第一段可知,老师让我演该角色,所以让朋友演我的角色只能是玩笑话。故D 项合理。

9. C依据下文”everything was ready for the performance"可知,一切都准备好了,就等待

开演。

10. A考查介词的搭配,表"患……病"时,须用介词with。故答案为A项。

11. C come to a stop表"停止;终止"。而come to an end则表示"结束",常表某事情发生了之后要结束。由文章叙述可知,因为作者发烧,嗓子坏了,当然整场戏看起来是演不成了,故是"终止,停止"之意。

12. A后文的"there was no way I could per?form"与前文大家都很着急之间是因果关系,for在这里引导原因状语从句,表显而易见的原因。

13. D该句意为:这场戏离预定的开演时间不到6个小时了,无法取消了。be due to表"按照预先安排做某事"。

14. B作者要想个好办法来"挽救"这件事情。help可表"挽救",其他答案均没有该意思。

15. B由第四段第三句可知,Kevin对"台词" 很熟悉。

16. D作者想到了这个主意,当然是向老师提出这个"建议"。A项"介绍";B项"指导"; C项"解释",都不合理。

17. C依据文章第四段可以得知Kevin跟作者一起"练习"了很多遍台词。

18. B很明显,这一天的演出很成功,Kevin和作者"挽救"了剧组所有的人。

19. D依上文叙述可知,作者因病"错过了"演出。其他选项都不符合语境。

 The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play a significant role in the process of recovery from illness.

  As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries(画廊)and into pub?lic places, some of the country's most gifted artists have been called in to change older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings. Of the 2 , 500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have significant collections of modern art in corridors(走道),waiting areas and treatment rooms.

  These recent initiatives(new plans) owe a great deal to one artist,Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester Hospital in Northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience.

  A common hospital waiting room might have as many as 5 ,000 visitors each week. What a better place to hold regular exhibitions of art and paintings,in the outpatients waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britain's first hospital artist,Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduations.

  The effect is striking. Now in the corridors and waiting rooms, the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colors, playful images and restful courtyard.

  The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expense when a patient is recovering from an illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view onto a garden nee?ded half the number of strong painkillers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.

(   ) 5. What does the author mean by using the phrase "to soften the hard edge of modern buildings" in the second paragraph?

A.     To hold exhibitions of art and paintings in hospitals.

B.     To tear down the old hospital and build a new one.

C.     To decorate hospitals with art collection.

D.     To paint the walls of hospitals in soft colors. 

(   ) 6. What is true about Peter Senior?

E.      A famous doctor in Manchester Hospital and a gifted artist.

F.      Britain's first hospital artist and a patient in Manchester Royal Hospital.

G.     One of the six young art school graduations.

H.     A gifted artist and a pioneer introducing art into hospitals.
(   ) 7. According to Peter Senior,we can infer that      

A.     modern hospitals have a lot of patients

B.     art is hot appreciated by a large number of people in modern society

C.     patients should be encouraged to learn painting

D.     artists can not find their positions in modern society 

(   ) 8. What does the last paragraph suggest?

A.    The improvement of hospital environment may help the patients recover from illness.

B.     The improvement of hospital environment may be more effective than the medical treatment.

C.     The hard wall of the hospital worsens the patients.

D.    The patients would suffer from no pain at all after they had a longer view onto the garden.
