解析試題分析：文章講述了Roberta在母親的鼓勵下，克服膽小害羞的弱點，成功地獲得了扮演莎士比亞作品《威尼斯商人》中Portia這個角色。
【小題1】從下文“she was speaking with a power”判斷出應(yīng)選speak.
【小題2】從文章中看出，Roberta正在扮演莎士比亞“威尼斯商人”中的角色“Portia”。下文中也提到“In secret she practiced Portia’s part”。故選character(part角色)。
【小題3】從下文31空后Roberta “repeat the lines over and over”判斷出“臺詞流利地從她口中說出”。故選C。
【小題4】緊接著上文“words flowing smoothly from her”,后面作者口氣一轉(zhuǎn)“事實上，在選拔試演之前她以前從來沒有表演過”。at first起初; in fact事實上；after all畢竟，到底；in all共計，總共。
【小題5】根據(jù)下文以及她母親說的話“You are just a bit scared. Everyone gets scared”得出“由于膽小/害怕，所以不愿意在眾人面前表現(xiàn)”。
【小題6】見20題。shy害羞的；honest誠實的；polite禮貌的；patient耐心的
【小題7】本句意思為“她從來沒有想到她有什么擅長的地方來吸引很多注意力�！盿ttract attention吸引注意力；avoid attention避開注意；focus/pay attention 集中注意力于。
【小題8】由于“大部分時間自己呆著，結(jié)果朋友很少”，故選few,表示“很少，不多”。
【小題9】本句意思為“盡管她成績很優(yōu)秀，可是她總認(rèn)為缺些什么.”,故選but表轉(zhuǎn)折。
【小題10】從下文她母親說的話“你只是有點害怕。你會成功的�！笨闯觯赣H是在“鼓勵”她。
【小題11】本句意思為“我想不出別的任何人更適合扮演這個角色。”play the part扮演角色
【小題12】本句意思為“她母親不想就此擱下這事。”，因此選“matter”。
【小題13】can能夠，會; must必需，一定; may可能; should應(yīng)該。見25題。
【小題14】根據(jù)上文中的“scared”,可以斷定選fear。
【小題15】于是“她讀了這部戲，一想到要說那么多豐富的語言她就很激動。”idea想法；purpose目的；way方式；importance重要性
【小題16】通過“repeating the lines over and over”來“memorizing(記住)”臺詞。
【小題17】因為“喜歡”，才不難，故選loved.
【小題18】本句意思為“每次讀，她都對這些臺詞有新的見解，好像莎士比亞從不同的層面寫的Portia.”。故選D.。understanding理解，見解；description描述；selection選擇；consideration考慮
【小題19】practise練習(xí)；plan計劃；perform演出，表演；deliver移交，發(fā)表（演講，講話）。根據(jù)句意，“在試演的當(dāng)天，Roberta為觀眾表演了兩段Portia的著名演講�！�，而不是“發(fā)表了Portia的著名的演講”。
【小題20】根據(jù)句意“演完后，俱樂部的主席宣布Portia這個角色是她的了�！�，選part。

In 490 B.C. the Greek messenger,  Pheidippides , ran about 40 kilometers from the town of “Marathon”to  Athens to announce the victory of  Athens over Macedon . Since then ,the 42–kilometer “Marathon”race has become a great test for athletes. However, for many years  , only men were allowed to run  this  race ,  because the distance was said to be unbearable for women.

Gibb had always enjoyed running .One day in 1964 , she saw the Boston Marathon happening as she was running in the woods. Since running meant a lot to her, she began training harder , hoping to join the marathon some day.

Gibb finally applied to run in the 1966 Boston Marathon, but she was not given entrance because the Boston Marathon Association considered that women were not strong enough to run 42  kilometers . 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.

3.What happened to Gibb in the 1966 Boston Marathon?

A．Her application wasn’t accepted.

B．She was asked to train harder .
