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”

Answer 1

【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，主要講述我在片場試鏡時看到的景象。最后我由于太高而被拒絕。

【1】句意“我對在這么大的日子里遲到感到不安”。be upset about對……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“我本預料是一個閃閃發(fā)光的建筑，但是我看到的卻是一個破碎的古老的門”。had expected本預料，卻沒有；故填expected。

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

【4】句意“大多數(shù)孩子都穿著牛仔褲，但也有少數(shù)人穿得非常酷，就好像他們每天都在電影片場，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)學會的那樣-自從我在學校話劇的第一部分開始，當我極度緊張的時候，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，進了一個房間，故填name。

【7】句意“這個男人看看這個女人，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。
