本文講述在高中時期喜劇表演排練及演出中所展現(xiàn)出的"我"和朋友間的團隊精神和深刻友誼。

1. A根據(jù)上文的"when I heard my name called for the leading role in our high school play"中的role可知，該處應(yīng)選part表"角色"。

2. C由文章首句及下文"He often said my lines with me by silently moving his lips."可知，他對這部話劇也很感興趣，故C項"興奮地"

3. B choose sb. for/as…"選某人為... "，為固定表達。

4. C依據(jù)下文的"because I had a lot of lines to memorize"可知，作者要記很多的臺詞，應(yīng)該會覺得"緊張"。

5. A count on"指望，依賴""end to"趨于"_;talk with"與某人談話";agree with"同意某人說的話"。依據(jù)文章的語境可知，作者是"信賴" 這個朋友的。

6. D依據(jù)該段話的意思可知，作者跟他的朋友Kevin組成了一個小組，make"組成，構(gòu)成"。很明顯，文章沒有說加入別的組或創(chuàng)立一個小組。

7. A由上文的"working hard with the set crew" 可知,朋友除了忙劇組的工作外，還花大量的時間幫我記臺詞。故朋友是在做兩件事情，因此選A項。

8. D由文章第一段可知，老師讓我演該角色，所以讓朋友演我的角色只能是玩笑話。故D 項合理。

9. C依據(jù)下文”everything was ready for the performance"可知，一切都準(zhǔn)備好了，就等待

開演。

10. A考查介詞的搭配，表"患……病"時，須用介詞with。故答案為A項。

11. C come to a stop表"停止;終止"。而come to an end則表示"結(jié)束"，常表某事情發(fā)生了之后要結(jié)束。由文章敘述可知，因為作者發(fā)燒,嗓子壞了，當(dāng)然整場戲看起來是演不成了，故是"終止，停止"之意。

12. A后文的"there was no way I could per?form"與前文大家都很著急之間是因果關(guān)系，for在這里引導(dǎo)原因狀語從句，表顯而易見的原因。

13. D該句意為：這場戲離預(yù)定的開演時間不到6個小時了，無法取消了。be due to表"按照預(yù)先安排做某事"。

14. B作者要想個好辦法來"挽救"這件事情。help可表"挽救"，其他答案均沒有該意思。

15. B由第四段第三句可知，Kevin對"臺詞" 很熟悉。

16. D作者想到了這個主意，當(dāng)然是向老師提出這個"建議"。A項"介紹";B項"指導(dǎo)"; C項"解釋"，都不合理。

17. C依據(jù)文章第四段可以得知Kevin跟作者一起"練習(xí)"了很多遍臺詞。

18. B很明顯，這一天的演出很成功，Kevin和作者"挽救"了劇組所有的人。

19. D依上文敘述可知，作者因病"錯過了"演出。其他選項都不符合語境。

20. B盡管自己因為患病錯過了演出機會，但有這樣一位好朋友代#自己演得如此之好，當(dāng)然應(yīng)該"慶幸、感激"。
