四、答案:a ; was given; carefully; which; from; performance; lost; ourselves; to use; practising
解析:①句意为:王培韩是云南中学的一名学生,他在戏剧《李尔王》中扮演了一个角色。student在文中第一次出现,表示泛指,应用不定冠词修饰。故填a。
②句意见上一题解析。设空处为句子的谓语,与主语Wang Peihan之间是被动关系,而且描述的是过去的事情,所以应用一般过去时的被动语态,故填was given。
③句意为:这个小男孩认真地反复观看了2008年电影版的《李尔王》,这使得他成为这部经典佳作的“专家”。设空处修饰动词watched,应用副词。故填carefully。
④句意见上一题解析。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,指代前面整个主句,故用which引导该从句。
⑤句意为:在向影片中李尔的扮演者伊恩·麦克莱恩学习后,王培韩充分地理解了李尔王的性格。learn from...为固定搭配,意为“向……学习”。故填from。
⑥句意为:他说:“所以我表演的关键点在于情感的表达。”设空处作介词of的宾语,且其前有形容词性物主代词my修饰,应用名词形式。故填performance。
⑦句意为:王培韩解释说:“不要迷失在著名的影片中这一点是很重要的。我们自己写了一些台词。去展示我们自己的语言功底既是一个挑战也是一种鼓励。”be lost in为固定搭配,意为“沉湎于;全神贯注于”。故填lost。
⑧句意见上一题解析。此处表示“我们自己”,应用反身代词,故填ourselves。
⑨句意见第7题解析。该句中It是形式主语,动词不定式短语作真正的主语,故填to use。
⑩句意为;通过用英语表演,学生们不仅开心地练习了英语,也领略了不同文化之美。have fun doing sth为固定搭配,意为“做某事很开心”,故填practising。
