【答案解析】[听力原文] Moderator: Tonight we have Mr. Park here. Mr. Park is a famous director in Korea. Welcome, Mr. Park. Mr. Park: Thank you. It's my pleasure to be here to talk with teenagers dreaming of being a star. I'd like to start today's lecture from the methods of auditioning performing artists. Okay. What's an audition, you may ask? Well, an audition is a sample performance by an actor, singer, musician, dancer, or other performing artist. It is used in the casting process to demonstrate the level and range of a performer's talent and functions as a, well, let's put it this way, a job interview for the performing arts. A typical audition involves the performer displaying his talent through a previously memorized and rehearsed solo piece. One example would be a monologue used for actors. For instance, an actor auditioning for Hamlet would have a dramatic Shakespearean monologue ready and not perform a monologue from an Oscar Wilde comedy or a contemporary playwright. But for the most part, the most important method of auditioning an actor is through the use of the monologue. A monologue is a, um, speech made by one person speaking his or her thoughts aloud or directly addressing a reader, audience, or character. It is a common feature in drama. Monologues are also a feature of opera, recital, or other sung section may carry out a function similar to that of spoken monologues in the theater. Also, comic monologues have become a standard element of entertainment routines on stage and television. Well, there's more to this than just doing a monologue. Some auditions involve cold reading or performing from a script that the actor is not familiar with. Sight-reading is a much-needed requirement in drama, where it is often used in conjunction with improvisations to judge a performer's ability to perform new works. It is particularly useful during auditions. A good drama sight reader is able to communicate with fluency and clarity and to project speech rhythms and rhymes well. He or she should also be able to bring out the intent, mood, and characterization of a piece through appropriate articulation and body language. Why do actors have to go through all of this anyways, you may ask? Well, in the performing arts, casting is a vital pre-production process for selecting a cast of actors, dancers, singers, models, and other talents for a live or recorded performance. It typically involves a series of auditions before a casting panel, composed of individuals such as the producer, director, and choreographer. In the early stages of the process, candidate performers often may present, urn, prepared audition pieces such as monologues or songs. Later stages may involve groups of candidates, urn, attempting material from the work under consideration in various combinations. The casting panel considers both the talent of the individual actors and the chemistry of their combination. What is an audition according to Mr. Park? 讲座中朴先生讲到试镜就是表演者的一种简单的表演，之后指出It is used in the casting process to demonstrate the level and range of a performer's talent and functions as a, well, let's put it this way, a job interview for the performing arts. 由此可知，试镜就是让演员扮演某个角色以展现演员天分的过程，换句话说，也就是对演职人员进行的工作面试，因而C项表述正确，故选C。
