Question

【题目】

Mrs. Dermit, my drama (戏剧) teacher, wanted to look for someone to play a leading role--an energetic boy in a play. ______, she thought that I could act this important part. After hearing the good news, my friend Kevin and I talked about the play happily. ______ Kevin wasn't chosen for a role on the stage, his job with helping all the actors was important to the success of the play. I told him I was a little ______ because I had a lot of lines (台词) to memorize. "You can do it." he said. I knew I could depend on him: we had been friends since the third grade, and we made a good team.

Preparations for the play moved at a quick pace. While doing his own work, Kevin also spent hours helping me learn my lines. He often said my lines with me by silently moving his lips. We even ______ that he could probably play my part as well as I could.

Everything was ready for the performance. However, on the day of the play, I woke up with a high fever and I couldn't perform. The play was planned to open in fewer than six hours, and we had no time to cancel it. I tried to think of a way to help. Then it hit me--Kevin knew the lines as well as I did. I called Mrs. Dermit to give her my ______. Within a few short hours, Kevin stood on the stage in costume (戏服) and makeup. The amusing lines he had practised with me so many times made the crowd laugh and cheer. In a strange turn of events, Kevin and I had ______ the day for everyone by working as a team.

Of course, I was terribly disappointed to have missed my chance in the spotlight, but I was extremely thankful to have such a good friend.

【解析】本文是说“我”有幸被选做戏剧主角，在前期准备的阶段一直由好朋友凯文陪伴，直到最后凯文也能够对我的台词倒背如流了，表演当天我突发重感冒，不得已由凯文顶替，最后让表演顺利地进行了下去。

【1】句意：幸运的是，她认为我可以扮演这个重要角色。前文讲我的老师在寻找一个可以做主角的人，我当选了，当然是幸运的了，选项A“最近”，选项B“个人地”，选项C“幸运地”，选项D“可能地”，故选C。

【2】句意：虽然凯文没有被选为舞台上的角色…，后句说的是“他帮助所有演员的工作对这部戏的成功非常重要。”，表明“即使，虽然”他不上台，但是职责仍然重要，这里用“although”来引导这个让步状语从句，选项A“当”，选项B“虽然”，选项C“因为”，选项D“在…之后”，故选B。

【3】句意：我告诉他我有一点点紧张，因为我有很多台词要记住。需要记很多词说明内心应该比较紧张，外加后面他鼓励我，更说明此刻我的心情是很紧张的，选项A“紧张的”，选项B“无聊的，厌烦的”，选项C“满意的”，选项D“孤独的”，故选A。

【4】句意：我们甚至开玩笑说他可以和我上台表演的一样好。这里提到的“他能够上台表演我的角色并且表演的一样好”，是一句玩笑话。选项A“证明”，选项B“承诺”，选项C“期待”，选项D“开玩笑”，故选D。

【5】句意：我给德米特太太打电话告诉了她我的建议。前文说表演那天我得了重感冒，没法去，经过思考他给德米特太太打了电话，应该是在提出自己的解决方案或是建议。选项A“问题”，选项B“信息”，选项C“建议”，选项D“解释”，故选C。

【6】句意：凯文和我通过团队合作为每个人拯救了这一天。这里是说我最后没能去表演，取而代之的是凯文，但是因为之前默契的合作使得表演顺利进行了下去，也可以说是为整个团队“拯救了”这一天。选项A“保持”，选项B“拯救，节省”，选项C“提供”，选项D“花费”，故选B。
