【解析】【1】依据上文when I heard my name called for the leading role in our high school play中的role可知，该处用part表“角色”。

【2】由文章首句及下文凯文帮“我”准备这一角色时的表现：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)合理。

【3】choose sb.for/as...表示“选某人为……”，为固定表达。

【4】依据下文的because I had a lot of lines to memorize可知，“我”应会觉得“紧张”，而并非沮丧、烦恼或困惑。

【5】count on指望，依赖。依据文章的语境可知，“我”是信赖这个朋友的。

【6】句意应为：“我”跟朋友凯文是一对很好的搭档。make组成，构成。

【7】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。故用also。

【8】由语境可知，此处应是两人间的玩笑话。

【9】依据下文everything was ready for the performance可知，一切都准备好了，就等待开演。很明显是在距离开演还有三天时发生的事情。

【10】表“患……(病)”之意时，需用介词with。

【11】come to a stop表“停止，终止”之意。由文章叙述可知，因为“我”发烧，嗓子坏了，当然戏是演不成了。故选C。

【12】后文的there was no way I could perform与前文大家都很着急之间是因果关系，for给出原因，表明附加或推断的理由。

【13】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 do表“按照预先安排做某事”之意。

【14】该语境中作者是要想个好办法来挽救这件事情，故用help，表“挽救”之意。

【15】由第四段第三句可知，凯文对台词很熟悉。

【16】上文“我”在想办法解决这个问题，现在想到了这个主意，当然是向老师提出这个“建议”。

【17】依据文章第四段可知凯文跟“我”一起练习了很多遍台词。

【18】很明显，这一天的演出很成功，而上文提及如果“我”不能演这场戏，又找不到解决的办法，那这场戏就会砸锅的，现在凯文演得很好，自然是挽救了剧组所有的人。

【19】从上文叙述可知，“我”“错过了”演出机会。

【20】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替自己演得如此之好，当然应该庆幸、感激。
