That afternoon my friend Kevin and I talked 2about the play. Although Kevin hadn't been 3 for a part on stage,his job with the set crew was important to the success of the play. I told him I was a little 4 because I had a lot of lines to memorize.

Preparations for the play moved at a rapid pace. While working hard with the set crew,Kevin 7 spent hours helping me learn my lines. He often said my lines with me by silently moving his lips. We 8 that he could probably play my part as well as I could.
Three days before the 9 night, everything was ready for the performance.

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。
20. B尽管自己因为患病错过了演出机会,但有这样一位好朋友代#自己演得如此之好,当然应该"庆幸、感激"。
