16． C
从下文“she was speaking with a power”判断出应选speak.
17． D
从文章中看出，Roberta正在扮演莎士比亚“威尼斯商人”中的角色“Portia”。下文中也提到“In secret she practiced Portia’s part”。故选character(part角色)。
18． C
从下文31空后Roberta “repeat the lines over and over”判断出“台词流利地从她口中说出”。故选C。
19． B
紧接着上文“words flowing smoothly from her”,后面作者口气一转“事实上，在选拔试演之前她以前从来没有表演过”。at first起初; in fact事实上；after all毕竟，到底；in all共计，总共。
20． A
根据下文以及她母亲说的话“You are just a bit scared. Everyone gets scared”得出“由于胆小/害怕，所以不愿意在众人面前表现”。
21． B
见20题。shy害羞的；honest诚实的；polite礼貌的；patient耐心的
22． D
本句意思为“她从来没有想到她有什么擅长的地方来吸引很多注意力。”attract attention吸引注意力；avoid attention避开注意；focus/pay attention 集中注意力于。
23． A
考点：本题考查语境中的形容词辨析。
由于“大部分时间自己呆着，结果朋友很少”，故选few,表示“很少，不多”。
24． D
本句意思为“尽管她成绩很优秀，可是她总认为缺些什么.”,故选but表转折。
25． C
从下文她母亲说的话“你只是有点害怕。你会成功的。”看出，母亲是在“鼓励”她。
26． B
本句意思为“我想不出别的任何人更适合扮演这个角色。”play the part扮演角色
27． B
本句意思为“她母亲不想就此搁下这事。”，因此选“matter”。
28． A
can能够，会; must必需，一定; may可能; should应该。见25题。
29． D
根据上文中的“scared”,可以断定选fear。
30． C
于是“她读了这部戏，一想到要说那么多丰富的语言她就很激动。”idea想法；purpose目的；way方式；importance重要性
31． A
通过“repeating the lines over and over”来“memorizing(记住)”台词。
32． B
因为“喜欢”，才不难，故选loved.
33． D
解析：本句意思为“每次读，她都对这些台词有新的见解，好像莎士比亚从不同的层面写的Portia.”。故选D.。understanding理解，见解；description描述；selection选择；consideration考虑
34． C
practice练习；plan计划；perform演出，表演；deliver移交，发表（演讲，讲话）。根据句意，“在试演的当天，Roberta为观众表演了两段Portia的著名演讲。”，而不是“发表了Portia的著名的演讲”。
35． A
根据句意“演完后，俱乐部的主席宣布Portia这个角色是她的了。”，选part。
