Ⅱ. 完形填空(每小题 1 分,共 15 分)
(2024·北京一模改编)When I first heard about the improvisation(即兴表演)classes, I was uncertain about whether to sign up. As a very ______ person, I feared getting on stage and acting in front of strangers. However, I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after graduating, ______ it seemed like the perfect opportunity to improve my speaking ability and build confidence. I signed up, knowing the ______ would take me well outside my comfort zone.
During our first class, we learned an important idea of improvisation: “yes, and”. It ______ that we accept what other performers say. If someone says that monkeys are librarians, for example, then monkeys are librarians. We do not ______ the logic(逻辑); we say “yes” and continue with the scene(场景)as if ______ is wrong.
To do this effectively, our teacher warned us that we'd have to avoid second - guessing ourselves. Sometimes scenes go in unexpected directions. The best improvisation happens when performers stay open to ______ possibilities and say whatever comes into their minds.
I got a taste of the ______ when acting out my first scene. However, as weeks turned into months, I became more comfortable and even started to enjoy our classes. I also became better at listening, relating to my partners, and communicating ______.
That training came in handy two weeks ago, when I was giving a speech about my science. A student ______ me with a question that came out of nowhere. Instead of getting nervous, I used the “yes, and” method—______ the question at face value and letting my mind focus on why it was asked. That helped me stay calm and finally find a proper ______.
The benefits of improvisation go beyond communication. Early on in school, I would get stuck when ______ data was produced in my experiments; my inner critic would suppose I had made a mistake. But now, after using the “yes, and” method, I no longer go into an experiment thinking that I already know the story my data are going to tell.
This lesson can ______ all scientists. If the data say monkeys are librarians, then it's worth studying whether monkeys are, in fact, librarians. Our job as scientists isn't to produce data that ______ a story that we already know. Our job is to say “yes, and”.
