My Big Day

There were about 15 kids there for audition（试镜）when we arrived. I had been u【1】 about being late on this Big Day but the bus, which moved slowly all the way, woke up and almost galloped for the last half mile. Dad and I jumped off and ran to 171 High Street. I had e【2】 a shiny building but what I saw was a broken ancient door. And the room into which we all crowded was dark and didn’t have enough chairs. A boy was p【3】 his audition piece loudly, unaware of everyone else in the room. Most of the kids were in jeans, but a few dressed seriously cool as if they spent every day on film sets and lunching with s【4】 . I felt a bit embarrassed about my dressing.

A girl called us away, one by one, to be auditioned. I breathed deeply and slowly as I had learned to do-ever since my first part in the school play, when I was extremely nervous and n【5】 forgot everything I had memorized. I repeated my speech to myself with all the pauses and emphasizes in the right places. I knew I was good. I really wanted this part, I wanted to pay Dad back for all the work he’d done for me. I wanted to make him proud of me. And I know I could do it.

Suddenly - there it was my n【6】 ! I followed the girl down a corridor into a large room with three men and a woman sitting behind a long table. The woman looked up and said hello. Then the middle man looked up and stared hard at me.

"How tall are you?" he asked.

“I’m 1.6 metres.” I said, trembling slightly.

The man looked at the woman and I saw him s【7】 his head.

The woman turned to me and said. “I’m so sorry. That’s just a bit too tall for this part. They should have told you”

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】upset

【2】- expected

【3】practicing

【4】silence

【5】never

【6】name

【7】shaking

【解析】

本篇文章难度适中，主要讲述我在片场试镜时看到的景象。最后我由于太高而被拒绝。

【1】句意“我对在这么大的日子里迟到感到不安”。be upset about对……感到不安。根据句意可知，我在试镜这样的日子来晚了，所以是不安的。且空前有been，用形容词，故填upset。

【2】句意“我本预料是一个闪闪发光的建筑，但是我看到的却是一个破碎的古老的门”。had expected本预料，却没有；故填expected。

【3】句意“一个小男孩正在大声地练习他的试镜片段，并没有意识到房间里其他的每一个人”。根据句意可知，表示“练习”。且根据空前was可知，用过去进行时。故填practicing。

【4】句意“大多数孩子都穿着牛仔裤，但也有少数人穿得非常酷，就好像他们每天都在电影片场，安静地吃着午餐”根据句意可知，表示“安静地吃着午餐”。in silence安静地。故填silence。

【5】句意“我深深地、缓慢地呼吸着，就像我已经学会的那样-自从我在学校话剧的第一部分开始，当我极度紧张的时候，我从来没有忘记我所记住的一切”。根据I repeated my speech to myself with all the pauses and emphasizes in the right places可知，我从没忘记我所记的东西，故填never。

【6】句意“突然出现了我的名字”。根据I followed the girl down a corridor into a large room with three men and a woman sitting behind a long table可知，我去试镜，所以出现了我的名字，我跟着女孩穿过走廊，进了一个房间，故填name。

【7】句意“这个男人看看这个女人，我看到他正在摇头”。根据The woman turned to me and said. “I’m so sorry. That’s just a bit too tall for this part. They should have told you”可知，我没有被录取，所以这个男人摇摇头，shake摇晃，且根据see sb doing“看到某人正在做某事”可知，故填shaking。
