　　内容概要：人们总是倾向于认为舞台上的演员们把台词背得很熟，事实并不是这样。本文叙述了一名著名演员由于同伴开玩笑，没有给他提供台词全文而在舞台上所闹的笑话。
　　1、选B。 剧目获得成功，以至连续上演好几年，这对可怜的演员来说可倒霉了。根据文中的poor及下文中所讲他们必须重复同样的台词，故选unfortunate (不幸的、倒霉的)。
　　2、选A。 lines = a row of written words on a printed page  此处指台词。
　　3、选C。 expect 表示“预料、预期”。人们总认为一定台词背得滚瓜烂熟了。
　　4、选B。人们认为演员们在舞台上台词记得很熟，是不会卡壳的。
　　5、选D。 this 代指前面所说的情况。
　　6、选A。 high意为“高的”，一般指具体高度；highly意为“高度的、极”，多用于动词派剩之形容词前。highly successful play 指一部获得相当成功的剧目。
　　7、D。 定语从句，先行词为人，故用who 引导。
　　8、B。此句意为： 尽管那个贵族每场戏都得念那封信，但他还是坚持要求将信的全文写在纸上。even though 引导让步状语从句，比though 语气更强。
　　9、选B。根据下文中的after so many performances可得出答案。
　　10、选C。 play a joke on sb 指“跟某人开玩笑”。
　　11、选D。 learn the contents of the letter by heart指背住信的内容。contents表示“内容”。

　　13、选A。 cell意为“牢房“，根据上下文可确定答案。
　　14、选D。根据文中 He always insisted that it should be written out in full可确定答案。
　　15、选C。 be anxious to do sth 指“急切的、渴望的“。扮演狱卒的演员急于想了解他的同事是否背熟了台词。
　　16、选B。因为背不住台词，这名扮演贵族的演员只好用“光线太暗”来作托辞。
