What does taking a risk mean? It means trying 1 things even if they make you feel uncomfortable or afraid. One of the greatest risks I'd ever taken was 2 a role in my high school's fall play. Not only was I a person who had 3 performance experience, but I also stuttered(口吃).

The 4 of performing in front of people made me worried. The reason why I 5 to perform was that I wanted to take part in my school theatre program.
On the day of the audition, there were also some acting exercises to warm us up. We were divided into pairs to 6 parts of the play. I felt very worried. After I said some of the lines(台词), my partner said, "I 7 you are stuttering. Is that for dramatic effect or do you really stutter?" I was speechless.
When my 8 to audition came, my heart was beating fast. Across from me sat the director and his assistants. Needless to say, I was really 9 my performance. I played the role of a male painter who pretended to be a woman. My 10 was playing a businessman who wanted to marry me(the woman). We said our lines and, 11 , I didn't stutter. We went through it several times, and finally it was over. I was so 12 .
The next Monday I was told that I had made the play. Words couldn't describe 13 excited I was. It was a lot of fun doing the play, and it was clear to me that my stuttering couldn't 14 me doing what I wanted to do, and that taking risks was well worth the time and 15 . I believed that nothing is impossible with a willing heart. It made me more confident and brave.

本文讲述作者参加学校话剧演出的故事。因为缺少经验且口吃，他担心自己的表演；出乎意料的是他居然成功了。作者的经历启发我们，事事都应该努力尝试，克服困难就能取得成功。
1. D 上文询问“冒险意味着什么?”，下文应对表示：它意味着尝试有挑战性的事，甚至是你感觉不舒服或害怕的事。
2. B 句意：我冒的最大风险之一就是在高中的秋季话剧里扮演一个角色。play a role 意为“扮演角色”。
3. C 下文表示“而且我口吃”，上文对应表示：我不仅是没有表演经验的人。little 表示否定意义。
4. B 由“我不仅没有表演经验，而且口吃”推断，在人们面前表演的想法让“我”感到很担心。
5. B 句意：我决定参与表演的原因是我想参加学校的戏剧节目。
6. D 上文提及“试镜当天，也有一些表演练习让我们热身”，下文顺承表示：我们被分成小组来准备戏剧部分。
7. C 由下一句“这是戏剧效果还是你真的口吃?”推断，上文意为：我注意到你口吃。
8. A 下文提及“我的心跳得很快”，上文对应表示：轮到我试镜的时候。turn 表示“(依次轮到的)机会”。
9. B 上文提及“轮到我试镜时，我心跳很快”，由此推断，不用说，“我”真的很担心“我”的表演。
10. B 上文提及 my partner said，故此处对应选 partner。
11. A 短文开头提及“我不仅没有表演经验，而且口吃”，由此可知，“我”不结巴，很令人惊讶。
12. D 上文提及“我们磨合几次后，排练结束了”，下文顺承表示：我感到如此地放松。
13. D 句意：言语无法形容我有多激动。宾语从句是感叹句结构，用 how 强调形容词 excited。
14. A “我”很清楚“我”的口吃并不能阻止“我”做“我”想做的事情。
15. C 本文讲述作者克服困难，加倍努力，成功完成话剧演出的故事，由此可知，冒险是值得花时间和努力的。
