解析试题分析:文章讲述了Roberta在母亲的鼓励下,克服胆小害羞的弱点,成功地获得了扮演莎士比亚作品《威尼斯商人》中Portia这个角色。
【小题1】从下文“she was speaking with a power”判断出应选speak.
【小题2】从文章中看出,Roberta正在扮演莎士比亚“威尼斯商人”中的角色“Portia”。下文中也提到“In secret she practiced Portia’s part”。故选character(part角色)。
【小题3】从下文31空后Roberta “repeat the lines over and over”判断出“台词流利地从她口中说出”。故选C。
【小题4】紧接着上文“words flowing smoothly from her”,后面作者口气一转“事实上,在选拔试演之前她以前从来没有表演过”。at first起初; in fact事实上;after all毕竟,到底;in all共计,总共。
【小题5】根据下文以及她母亲说的话“You are just a bit scared. Everyone gets scared”得出“由于胆小/害怕,所以不愿意在众人面前表现”。
【小题6】见20题。shy害羞的;honest诚实的;polite礼貌的;patient耐心的
【小题7】本句意思为“她从来没有想到她有什么擅长的地方来吸引很多注意力。”attract attention吸引注意力;avoid attention避开注意;focus/pay attention 集中注意力于。
【小题8】由于“大部分时间自己呆着,结果朋友很少”,故选few,表示“很少,不多”。
【小题9】本句意思为“尽管她成绩很优秀,可是她总认为缺些什么.”,故选but表转折。
【小题10】从下文她母亲说的话“你只是有点害怕。你会成功的。”看出,母亲是在“鼓励”她。
【小题11】本句意思为“我想不出别的任何人更适合扮演这个角色。”play the part扮演角色
【小题12】本句意思为“她母亲不想就此搁下这事。”,因此选“matter”。
【小题13】can能够,会; must必需,一定; may可能; should应该。见25题。
【小题14】根据上文中的“scared”,可以断定选fear。
【小题15】于是“她读了这部戏,一想到要说那么多丰富的语言她就很激动。”idea想法;purpose目的;way方式;importance重要性
【小题16】通过“repeating the lines over and over”来“memorizing(记住)”台词。
【小题17】因为“喜欢”,才不难,故选loved.
【小题18】本句意思为“每次读,她都对这些台词有新的见解,好像莎士比亚从不同的层面写的Portia.”。故选D.。understanding理解,见解;description描述;selection选择;consideration考虑
【小题19】practise练习;plan计划;perform演出,表演;deliver移交,发表(演讲,讲话)。根据句意,“在试演的当天,Roberta为观众表演了两段Portia的著名演讲。”,而不是“发表了Portia的著名的演讲”。
【小题20】根据句意“演完后,俱乐部的主席宣布Portia这个角色是她的了。”,选part。
考点:考查了故事类完型填空
点评:本类完型填空要注意故事方式的脉络,以时间为顺序等,关注上下文和词义辨析。

Yet, this was no obstacle to Gibb, for she knew she had the physical and mental strength to complete the race .On the day the 1966 Boston Marathon was held , Gibb hid in the bushes and jumped into the race when it began. She finished the race in 3 hours and 21 minutes, defeating two thirds of the men in the race and proving that women could run the marathon.
