26、3答案与解析：A结合语境和常识可知，想要进入校表演合唱团的话，需要参加一个节目的试唱。4答案与解析：D根据语境可知，参加试唱的学生需要依次进行试唱。此处表示该轮到作者进入房间了。privilege“特权，荣幸”不符合语境。5答案与解析：C根据空后的“mythroatwasdryandmyheartraced”可知，作者感到非常紧张。6答案与解析：B根据本句中的“theintroduction, thesongofchoiceandtherangecheck”可知，这是试唱的基本流程。go“进展，进行”符合语境。7答案与解析：A根据本句中的“therangecheck”并结合语境和常识可知，在试
27、唱的音域检查环节，当合唱团的负责人在钢琴上弹奏一个音调的时候，试唱者需要匹配该音调。8答案与解析：B根据本句中的“forthevibrato (颤音) wasamazing”可知，尽管试唱前很紧张，但试唱后作者觉得自己表现不错，所以感到宽心(relief)。guilt“内疚，悔恨”。9答案与解析：A结合语境可知，作者对自己的试唱感到满意，她的颤音令人惊叹，并且她唱准了每个音调。10答案与解析：D根据上句中的“thelistofwhohadmadeitintotheshowchoirwasposted”可知，录取名单公布后，作者去看自己的名字是否在名单上。lookthrough“浏览，快速查看”

29、demywholeworldhadbrokenup”可知，作者表面上表现出不伤心的样子，但内心却已崩溃。15答案与解析：C根据上文可知，作者自信心消失，内心崩溃，因此都不计划再去参加表演合唱团了。16答案与解析：A结合下文中的“Istartedoffmysong”可知，起初作者拒绝上台演唱，但是最终有了足够的勇气上台。17答案与解析：C根据上文可知，作者由于之前的经历自信心不足，因此上台唱歌之初，还有些紧张冒汗(sweat)。march“前进”。18答案与解析：B结合语境可知，当作者唱准高音时，听众为她欢呼，这令作者意识到：没有参加一个节目并不意味着自己应该放弃所有的希望，自己仍然拥有对音乐的热爱。19答案与解析：D参见上题解析。20答案与解析：B根据上文所述的作者未被校表演合唱团正式录取而是成为候补者以及之后的经历可知，作者有了这样的感悟：当在自己热爱的事情上被拒绝或没有得到自己想要的结果时，不要放弃。layoff“解雇”；turndown“拒绝”。- 5 - 版权所有高考资源网
