【解析】

本文是关于话剧《茶馆》的介绍。

1.句子They come in and (A)__of the teahouse and talk to each other.的意思是：他们出入茶馆，互相交谈。结合句意用out与in构成短语in and out出入的意思。也就是出来进去。句子Teahouse was(F)_________put on in 1958.的意思是：茶馆最早在1958上演。结合句意可知，在1958年，茶馆是第一次上演。因此用first。所以第一题的答案为 (1). out (2). first。

2.“包括”用include或contain；“三个部分”用three parts；It做主语，谓语用三单。因此答案为It includes/contains/has 3 parts./ It is in three parts。

3.句子The second act jumps forward 20 years and the (C)final act takes place in 1948.的句意为：第二幕向前跳了20年，最后的故事发生在1948年。因此final意为“最后或第三”的意思。同义词为last或third。句子Others come just to sit and (E)pass the time.的意思是：其他人来只是为了坐下来消磨时间。这里的pass与 spend是同义词。所以本题的答案为(1). last / third (2). spend/kill。

4.句子It’s about the changes that have taken place in Chinese society in almost 50 years.的意思是：这是近50年来中国社会发生的变化。50年也就是半个世纪，可以用half a century表达。所以答案为(1). a (2). century。

5.由句子In Teahouse, the writer Lao She says goodbye to the old Chinese society(社会)and hello to the new one. 可知，在茶馆里，作家老舍向旧的中国社会告别，向新的中国社会问好。因此老舍先生的著作为Teahouse。
