【解析】

本文是一篇故事類(lèi)短文。主要講述了里克希望出演《燈塔之謎》中的主角喬，但是他落選了，媽媽鼓勵(lì)他不要輕易放棄，后來(lái)老師邀請(qǐng)他為這個(gè)話劇畫(huà)畫(huà)，話劇很成功，他感到很自豪。

【1】句意：放學(xué)后，所有參加戲劇選拔賽的人三點(diǎn)半在體育館集合。

dance舞蹈；football足球；play話劇；painting繪畫(huà)。根據(jù)“…because it was time for the school play tryouts. This year's play was called…”可知，這次參加的比賽是話劇選拔賽，故選C。

【2】句意：第二天，這些角色名單被公布在體育館外面的墻上。

posted郵寄，投遞；marked標(biāo)記；tied系；published發(fā)布。上文講到Rick和他的朋友都參加了話劇選拔，由此可推斷第二天是公布結(jié)果的，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，只有D符合句意，故選D。

【3】句意：但是里克沒(méi)有找到他的名字。

picture圖片；artwork藝術(shù)品；house房子；name名字。根據(jù)“Kevin got a part in the play.” 凱文獲得了劇中的一個(gè)角色，由此可推斷，這里表達(dá)的是，“但是里克落選了”，也就是在布告里沒(méi)看到自己的名字，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，故選D。

【4】句意：看看你所擅長(zhǎng)的其他方面，你美術(shù)好，而且你是一個(gè)超級(jí)足球運(yùn)動(dòng)員。

act表演；speech演講；art美術(shù)；music音樂(lè)。根據(jù)下文老師邀請(qǐng)他為話劇畫(huà)畫(huà)的時(shí)候，“I know how good you are in art…”我知道你很擅長(zhǎng)美術(shù)，故選C。

【5】句意：“我確定做”，里克自信地說(shuō)。

sadly傷心地；confidently自信地；doubtfully懷疑地；worriedly擔(dān)心地。根據(jù)“Rick was so happy…”可排除A、D；由“I sure do”表示肯定的意思，可排除C，故選B。

【6】句意：演出的時(shí)間到了，當(dāng)他的朋友凱文表演時(shí)他在舞臺(tái)的一邊看著。

watched觀看；interrupted打斷；noticed注意；complained抱怨。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)和句子“as his friend, Kevin, said his part of the play”，可知，因?yàn)槔锟瞬荒苌吓_(tái)表演，所以他在舞臺(tái)的一邊觀看著他朋友在上面的表演，故選A。

【7】句意：節(jié)目的最后，卡特老師把這期間幫忙做藝術(shù)作品，處理燈光，以及在臺(tái)上來(lái)回搬移東西的所有學(xué)生都叫到了臺(tái)上。

inventing發(fā)明；throwing扔掉；sharing分享；moving移動(dòng)。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)和句意“在舞臺(tái)周?chē)?/span>________東西的學(xué)生”，可知表演話劇的時(shí)候，舞臺(tái)上有很多道具，這些道具都是需要學(xué)生來(lái)搬動(dòng)的，只有D符合句意，故選D。

【8】句意：里克以他的作品而自豪。

tired累的；proud自豪；curious好奇的；afraid害怕的。be proud of以……自豪，固定短語(yǔ)，因?yàn)樵拕〉某晒�里面也有自己的一份功勞。故選B。
