【解析】

本文是一篇故事類短文。主要講述了里克希望出演《燈塔之謎》中的主角喬，但是他落選了，媽媽鼓勵他不要輕易放棄，后來老師邀請他為這個話劇畫畫，話劇很成功，他感到很自豪。

【1】句意：放學(xué)后，所有參加戲劇選拔賽的人三點(diǎn)半在體育館集合。

dance舞蹈；football足球；play話�。�painting繪畫。根據(jù)“…because it was time for the school play tryouts. This year's play was called…”可知，這次參加的比賽是話劇選拔賽，故選C。

【2】句意：第二天，這些角色名單被公布在體育館外面的墻上。

posted郵寄，投遞；marked標(biāo)記；tied系；published發(fā)布。上文講到Rick和他的朋友都參加了話劇選拔，由此可推斷第二天是公布結(jié)果的，結(jié)合選項，只有D符合句意，故選D。

【3】句意：但是里克沒有找到他的名字。

picture圖片；artwork藝術(shù)品；house房子；name名字。根據(jù)“Kevin got a part in the play.” 凱文獲得了劇中的一個角色，由此可推斷，這里表達(dá)的是，“但是里克落選了”，也就是在布告里沒看到自己的名字，結(jié)合選項，故選D。

【4】句意：看看你所擅長的其他方面，你美術(shù)好，而且你是一個超級足球運(yùn)動員。

act表演；speech演講；art美術(shù)；music音樂。根據(jù)下文老師邀請他為話劇畫畫的時候，“I know how good you are in art…”我知道你很擅長美術(shù)，故選C。

【5】句意：“我確定做”，里克自信地說。

sadly傷心地；confidently自信地；doubtfully懷疑地；worriedly擔(dān)心地。根據(jù)“Rick was so happy…”可排除A、D；由“I sure do”表示肯定的意思，可排除C，故選B。

【6】句意：演出的時間到了，當(dāng)他的朋友凱文表演時他在舞臺的一邊看著。

watched觀看；interrupted打斷；noticed注意；complained抱怨。結(jié)合選項和句子“as his friend, Kevin, said his part of the play”，可知，因為里克不能上臺表演，所以他在舞臺的一邊觀看著他朋友在上面的表演，故選A。

【7】句意：節(jié)目的最后，卡特老師把這期間幫忙做藝術(shù)作品，處理燈光，以及在臺上來回搬移東西的所有學(xué)生都叫到了臺上。

inventing發(fā)明；throwing扔掉；sharing分享；moving移動。結(jié)合選項和句意“在舞臺周圍________東西的學(xué)生”，可知表演話劇的時候，舞臺上有很多道具，這些道具都是需要學(xué)生來搬動的，只有D符合句意，故選D。

【8】句意：里克以他的作品而自豪。

tired累的；proud自豪；curious好奇的；afraid害怕的。be proud of以……自豪，固定短語，因為話劇的成功里面也有自己的一份功勞。故選B。
