My Big Day

There were about 15 kids there for audition（試鏡）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”

【答案】

【1】upset

【2】- expected

【3】practicing

【4】silence

【5】never

【6】name

【7】shaking

【解析】

本篇文章難度適中，主要講述我在片場(chǎng)試鏡時(shí)看到的景象。最后我由于太高而被拒絕。

【1】句意“我對(duì)在這么大的日子里遲到感到不安”。be upset about對(duì)……感到不安。根據(jù)句意可知，我在試鏡這樣的日子來晚了，所以是不安的。且空前有been，用形容詞，故填upset。

【2】句意“我本預(yù)料是一個(gè)閃閃發(fā)光的建筑，但是我看到的卻是一個(gè)破碎的古老的門”。had expected本預(yù)料，卻沒有；故填expected。

【3】句意“一個(gè)小男孩正在大聲地練習(xí)他的試鏡片段，并沒有意識(shí)到房間里其他的每一個(gè)人”。根據(jù)句意可知，表示“練習(xí)”。且根據(jù)空前was可知，用過去進(jìn)行時(shí)。故填practicing。

【4】句意“大多數(shù)孩子都穿著牛仔褲，但也有少數(shù)人穿得非�？幔秃孟袼麄兠刻於荚陔娪捌瑘�(chǎng)，安靜地吃著午餐”根據(jù)句意可知，表示“安靜地吃著午餐”。in silence安靜地。故填silence。

【5】句意“我深深地、緩慢地呼吸著，就像我已經(jīng)學(xué)會(huì)的那樣-自從我在學(xué)校話劇的第一部分開始，當(dāng)我極度緊張的時(shí)候，我從來沒有忘記我所記住的一切”。根據(jù)I repeated my speech to myself with all the pauses and emphasizes in the right places可知，我從沒忘記我所記的東西，故填never。

【6】句意“突然出現(xiàn)了我的名字”。根據(jù)I followed the girl down a corridor into a large room with three men and a woman sitting behind a long table可知，我去試鏡，所以出現(xiàn)了我的名字，我跟著女孩穿過走廊，進(jìn)了一個(gè)房間，故填name。

【7】句意“這個(gè)男人看看這個(gè)女人，我看到他正在搖頭”。根據(jù)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，我沒有被錄取，所以這個(gè)男人搖搖頭，shake搖晃，且根據(jù)see sb doing“看到某人正在做某事”可知，故填shaking。

【題目】閱讀下面短文,根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從下面方框中的A-E選項(xiàng)中,選擇適當(dāng)?shù)倪x項(xiàng)補(bǔ)全短文。

Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes:【1】Here, we look at two examples

A recent study by researcher Kraus shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person's hearing ability.【2】The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were able to hear the talking person more clearly.

【3】Think about violinists in an orchestra (管弦樂團(tuán)). When the violinists play with the group, they hear their own instrument and many others, too. But the violinists must listen closely to what they are playing, and pay no attention to the other sounds. In this way, musicians are able to focus on certain sounds, even in a room with lots of noise.

Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke (中風(fēng)) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally. However, they can still sing.【4】Why does this work? Schlaug isn't sure. Music seems to make different parts of the brain work, including the damaged (損壞的) parts. This might help patients to use that part of the brain again.

Music improves concentration (注意力), memory, listening skills, and our overall language abilities.【5】Playing an instrument or singing can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp (敏銳的)as we get older. Music is not only enjoyable, it's also good for us in many other ways.

A. It can even help sick people get better.

B. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to speak.

C. Music improves certain language abilities in the brain.

D. In his study two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room.

E Musicians hear better because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds.

A. It can even help sick people get better.

B. Schlaug was surprised to find that singing words helped his patients to speak.

C. Music improves certain language abilities in the brain.

D. In his study two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room.
