Question

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。

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.

【解析】

试题分析：本文属于说明文，介绍了演员有效记住台词的四个建议。

1.C 根据本段第二句To learn lines, an actor must recite the play loud over and over again.可知要想背上台词，演员们需要一次又一次地大声朗读。所以C项“Read lines loud and repeat them.”是本段的中心思想。

2.G 根据前一句Sometimes inexperienced actors spend rehearsals looking at fellow performers, waiting patiently to say their next line.很多没有经验的演员会把排练的时间用来看同伴表演，然后耐心等待说自己的台词。实际上这是无效的，最好的是认真并总是做出合适的回应，因为这样才可以在情景中记住自己要说的内容。故G项正确。

3.A 根据本段第二句They use a tape recorder or an MP3 player to listen to the lines from each relevant scene .可知他们使用录音装备录好台词以后反复听。通过这种方法来记忆台词，故A正确。

4.F 根据横线前一句Some actors prefer to record the lines of all the characters, including their own.一些演员把所有角色的台词都录下来，反复听并练习说这些台词。最后达到记住台词的效果。

5. 根据横线前句If unfortunately you forget a line once, you will probably never forget that line ever again.如果你不幸忘记一段台词，那么以后你永远都不会忘记这一段台词。E项“Sometimes embarrassment is the toughest method of memorization有时候尴尬是最优秀的记忆方法”与上下文一致。

【名师点睛】

根据试题所在的不同位置确定不同的解题策略

1)如果问题在段首

(a)通常是段落主题句。认真阅读后文内容，根据段落一致性原则，查找同义词或其他相关的词，推断出主题句。

(b)与后文是并列、转折、因果关系等。着重阅读后文第一两句，锁定线索信号词，然后在选项中

查找 相关特征词。通常正确答案的最后一句与空白后的第一句在意思上是紧密衔接的，因此这两

句间会 有某种的衔接手段。

(c)段落间的过渡句。这时要前瞻后望找启示，即阅读上一段结尾部分，通常正确答案与上一段结

尾有机地衔接起来，并结合下一段内容，看所选的答案是否将两段内容连贯起来。

2)如果问题在段尾

(a)空白前的一句或两句是重点语句，重点阅读以锁定关键词。

(b)通常是结论、概括性语句。注意在选项中查找表示结果、结论、总结等的信号词，如therefore, as a result, thus, hence, in short, to sum up, to conclude, in a word等词语，选项中也可 发现前文的同义词句。

(c)与前文是转折或对比关系。此时要注意在选项中查找表示转折、对比的关联词，同时注意选项

中所讲内容是否与前文在同一主题上形成对立、对比关系。

(d)与前文是并列或排比关系。在这种情况下，通常是该段落要求补全说明本段主题的其他细节，

因此根据段落一致性原则，在原文和选项中找到相关的特征词，通常在选项中会出现表示并列/递

进关系的关联词或与前文类似的句式结构，或出现同义词等其他信号线索。前面的一句与正确答案

的第一句是紧密相连的。要特别注意阅读这样相连的两句，通常会找到关键的线索词句。

(e)所选答案是引出下一段的内容。如果在选项中找不出与前文之间的关联，此时可考虑与下一段

开头是否有一定的衔接。认真阅读下一段开头几句，看是否与选项的最后一句紧密连接起来。

(f)如果第一段的段尾是空白，要认真阅读，看此处是细节还是主题。通常文章第一段要提出文章

的主题，如果在段尾提出主题，会用一些信号词如转折词引出来，正确答案中应有这样的特征词。

3)如果问题是一整个自然段

(a)这个段落应该是承上启下，而且自成一体，即有一个段落的中心，因此可重点阅读选项中较长的选 项，以此类推直至找到正确答案。

(b)着重阅读前一段结尾和后一段开头的一两句查找相关的线索，而且重要线索通常会在后一段开头，因此后一段开头往往比前一段结尾更为重要。

(c)分析段落之间的逻辑关系及内容的连贯性，注意段落间的衔接手段。将选项代入原文，如果前后内容连贯，符合逻辑，就能得出正确答案。
