Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng).選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng).

How do actors and actresses memorize hundreds of lines? Memorizing lines takes practice and constant repetition. However, there are a few ways to make the memorization process run smoothly and quickly.

【1】

For most performers, there is no quicker way of memorizing lines. To learn lines, an actor must recite the play loud over and over again. Most rehearsals(彩排) encourage this by running through the lines or having a ＂read through＂. By the time opening night arrives, most actors have spoken their lines hundreds of times.

Listen to your cast members.

Sometimes inexperienced actors spend rehearsals looking at fellow performers, waiting patiently to say their next line. 【2】 This will help the actor learn his lines better because the context of the dialogue is absorbed.

【3】

Because there is often not enough rehearsal time, many performers find ways to listen to the play’s dialogue during everyday activities. They use a tape recorder or an MP3 player to listen to the lines from each relevant scene. Some actors prefer to record the lines of all the characters, including their own. 【4】 Others like recording the lines of fellow cast members, and they leave a blank space so that they can insert their dialogue while listening to the recording.

Think positively and don’t panic.

Most actors will experience stage fright before the opening night. Actors forget lines now and then. When it happens, however, most of the time the audience never notice. If you forget a line in the middle of your performance, don’t freeze. Stay in character. Keep the scene going to the best of your ability. If unfortunately you forget a line once, you will probably never forget that line ever again. 【5】

A. Record your lines.

B. Practice makes perfect.

C. Read lines loud and repeat them.

D. Read lines loud and remember them in a short time.

E. Sometimes embarrassment is the toughest method of memorization.

F. Then, they not only listen carefully, but they also speak all of the lines.

G. Instead, they should be listening carefully, responding in character at all times.

試題分析：本文介紹幾種演員正確迅速記住臺(tái)詞的方法。

【1】 C 此題是本段的標(biāo)題。根據(jù)本段中所講的To learn lines, an actor must recite the play loud over and over again，并結(jié)合下面各個(gè)選項(xiàng)的意思，可知此處講的是要不斷地重復(fù)被臺(tái)詞。故選C。

【2】 G分析本空格后面的句子This will help the actor learn，可推斷空格中的句子所講述的就是方法。結(jié)合各個(gè)選項(xiàng)意思，可知G選項(xiàng)的中心就是講方法。再根據(jù)句意，故選G（與之相反的，他們應(yīng)該認(rèn)真聽(tīng)，總是能對(duì)角色做出反應(yīng)。）。

【3】 A 此題是本段的標(biāo)題。根據(jù)本段中的關(guān)鍵句They use a tape recorder or an MP3 player to listen to the lines from each relevant scene，可知本段講述的是要錄音，并結(jié)合各個(gè)選項(xiàng)意思，可知選A（錄下你的臺(tái)詞。）。

【4】F根據(jù)本段所講的內(nèi)容，可知此處講的是要聽(tīng)和講。結(jié)合各個(gè)選項(xiàng)意思，應(yīng)選F（他們不僅聽(tīng)是仔細(xì)，而且能說(shuō)出所有的臺(tái)詞。）。

【5】E 空前句意：如果你不幸地忘記一句臺(tái)詞，你可能再也想不起來(lái)。故這里E（有時(shí)候，尷尬是記憶的最困難的方法。）符合上下文。
