    试题分析：文章讲述了Roberta在母亲的鼓励下，克服胆小害羞的弱点，成功地获得了扮演莎士比亚作品《威尼斯商人》中Portia这个角色。
    小题1:从下文“she was speaking with a power”判断出应选speak.
    小题2:从文章中看出，Roberta正在扮演莎士比亚“威尼斯商人”中的角色“Portia”。下文中也提到“In secret she practiced Portia’s part”。故选character(part角色)。
    小题3:从下文31空后Roberta “repeat the lines over and over”判断出“台词流利地从她口中说出”。故选C。
    小题4:紧接着上文“words flowing smoothly from her”,后面作者口气一转“事实上，在选拔试演之前她以前从来没有表演过”。at first起初; in fact事实上；after all毕竟，到底；in all共计，总共。
    小题5:根据下文以及她母亲说的话“You are just a bit scared. Everyone gets scared”得出“由于胆小/害怕，所以不愿意在众人面前表现”。
    小题6:见20题。shy害羞的；honest诚实的；polite礼貌的；patient耐心的
    小题7:本句意思为“她从来没有想到她有什么擅长的地方来吸引很多注意力。”attract attention吸引注意力；avoid attention避开注意；focus/pay attention 集中注意力于。
    小题8:由于“大部分时间自己呆着，结果朋友很少”，故选few,表示“很少，不多”。
    小题9:本句意思为“尽管她成绩很优秀，可是她总认为缺些什么.”,故选but表转折。
    小题10:从下文她母亲说的话“你只是有点害怕。你会成功的。”看出，母亲是在“鼓励”她。
    小题11:本句意思为“我想不出别的任何人更适合扮演这个角色。”play the part扮演角色
    小题12:本句意思为“她母亲不想就此搁下这事。”，因此选“matter”。
    小题13:can能够，会; must必需，一定; may可能; should应该。见25题。
    小题14:根据上文中的“scared”,可以断定选fear。
    小题15:于是“她读了这部戏，一想到要说那么多丰富的语言她就很激动。”idea想法；purpose目的；way方式；importance重要性
    小题16:通过“repeating the lines over and over”来“memorizing(记住)”台词。
    小题17:因为“喜欢”，才不难，故选loved.
    小题18:本句意思为“每次读，她都对这些台词有新的见解，好像莎士比亚从不同的层面写的Portia.”。故选D.。understanding理解，见解；description描述；selection选择；consideration考虑
    小题19:practise练习；plan计划；perform演出，表演；deliver移交，发表（演讲，讲话）。根据句意，“在试演的当天，Roberta为观众表演了两段Portia的著名演讲。”，而不是“发表了Portia的著名的演讲”。
    小题20:根据句意“演完后，俱乐部的主席宣布Portia这个角色是她的了。”，选part。
    点评：本类完型填空要注意故事方式的脉络，以时间为顺序等，关注上下文和词义辨析。

    I receive many letters from children and can’t answer them all – there wouldn’t be enough time in a day. I’ll try to answer some of the questions that are commonly asked.
    Where did I get the idea for Stuart Little and for Charlotte’s Web? Well, many years ago, I went to bed one night in a railway sleeping car, and during the night I dreamed about a tiny boy who acted rather like a mouse. That’s how the story of Stuart Little got started.
    As for Charlotte’s Web, I like animals and my farm is very pleasant place to be – at all hours. One day, when I was on my way to feed the pig, I began feeling sorry for the pig because, like most pigs, he was going to die. This made me sad. So I started thinking of ways to save his life. Three years after I started writing it, it was published. (I am not a fast worker, as you can see.)
    Sometimes I’m asked when I started to write, and what made me want to write. I started early – as soon as I could spell. Children often find pleasure through trying to set their thoughts down on paper, either in words or in pictures. I was not good at drawing, so I used words instead. As I grew older, I found that writing could be a way of earning a living.
    Well, here is the answer to the last question. No, they are imaginary (虚构的) tales. In real life, a family doesn’t have a child who looks like a mouse and a spider doesn’t write words in her web. Although my stories are imaginary, I like to think that there is some truth in them, too – truth about the way people and animals feel, think and act.

    Have you ever listened to young children talking in the playground? They are always boasting. They say things like, “My Dad’s car is bigger than your Dad’s,” and “My Mom is smarter than yours.” They particularly like to boast about their families.
    There were three little boys, Harry, Ted and Gavin, who were always boasting. Gavin was the worst. Everything about his family was always the best or the biggest or the most expensive.
    Whatever the others said, he could always go on better. One day when they were walking to

My father has a bath every day, sometimes twice a day.” Ted looked at Gavin. Now it was his turn. But what could he say? “This time,” Ted thought, “I’m going to win.” Gavin didn’t know what to say. He couldn’t say that his father had a bath three times a day. That was silly. He walked on in silence. Ted smiled at Harry, and Harry smiled back. They were sure that for once they had beaten Gavin.

    For the past two years, 8－year－old Harli Jordean from Stoke Newington, London, has been selling marbles(弹珠)．His successful marble company, Marble King, sells all things marble-related—from affordable tubs of the glass playthings to significantly expensive items like Duke of York solitaire（独粒宝石）tables—sourced, purchased and processed by the mini－CEO himself.
    “I like having my own company. I like being the boss,” Harli told The Mirror.
    With profits now in the thousands, “the world's youngest CEO” has had to get his mother and older brothers to help him meet the growing demand.
    Harli launched Marble King after swapping（交换）marbles at school led to schoolchildren depleting(削减) his marble collection. Yes, he literally（确切地）“lost his marbles.” Harli and his mother, Tina, turned to the Internet to find replacements.
    Harli saw an empty space online: the marbles he wanted were hard to find. Within months, Harli had his own marble－selling website and orders started pouring in.
    Tina says her son's obsession(迷恋) with marbles started when he was just 6.
    “His obsession became so big we started calling him the Marble King, so when he wanted to set up a website it was the natural name for it，” she told The Sun.
    “I never thought it would become so popular—we are struggling to cope with the number of orders at times.”
    The 8－year－old boy has his sights set on expanding his business and launching his own brand of marbles.
