9、们的舞蹈表演。由第一段所描述的内容来看，作者对此很期待。所以在这个大厅里，气氛热烈，家长们也都来了。故只有A项最符合语境。 2. 答案：D解析：pressure“压力”；impression“印象”；debate“辩论”；attention“关注，注意”。句意：“我”是一个只有七岁的小女孩，但是“我”是大家关注的中心。作者在此要表达的意思就是：她虽然年纪小，但却是舞蹈表演的核心队员，这让她感到很自豪。由语境可知，D项最恰当。 3. 答案：B解析：take over“接管”；show off“卖弄，炫耀，表现”；look after“照顾”；give up“放弃”。句意：最后，经过多周的准备之后
10、，在这次舞蹈表演中“我”将会把“我”辛苦的锻炼表现出来。故只有B项最合适。 4. 答案：D解析：reasonable“合情合理的”；suitable“合适的，适当的”；obvious“显而易见的”；perfect“完美的，最好的”。由常识可知，准备充分了，当然会认为一切都会非常完美。故D项符合语境。 5. 答案：A解析：dress up“打扮，穿上盛装，打扮得很漂亮”；fold up“垮台，放弃”；cover up“掩盖，盖住”； mix up“拌和，调和”。句意：“我”在后台等待，穿着黑色的带有金色腰带的紧身衣。由in my black tights with a golden belt可知
11、，这是为了表演特意穿上的，是为了让自己打扮得更漂亮，所以只有dress up符合文意。 6. 答案：C解析：suggest“建议”；explain“解释”；announce“宣布”；predict“预言，预知”。由常识可知，节目的表演顺序要由主持人来宣布。 7. 答案：B解析：music“音乐”；audience“观众”；curtain“幕，窗帘”；stage“舞台”。由常识可知，演员表演节目要面对观众。 8. 答案：A解析：easy“容易的”；active“活跃的，积极的”；adventurous“大胆的，爱冒险的”；extra“额外的”。由下文“我”的注意力集中在面带微笑和挺胸抬头上，证明
12、这种脚步的移动很简单，很容易。 9. 答案：D解析：contain“容纳，包含”；hide“隐藏，隐瞒”；share“分享”；keep“保持”。由常识可知，表演者要让自己始终面带微笑。 10. 答案：C解析：why“为什么”；whether“是否”；where“在的地方，在哪里”；what“什么”。由下文的“I missed my partners box.”可知，此处是指“我”没有注意到“我”走到哪里了。故C项符合语境。 11. 答案：B解析：wander“徘徊”；slip“滑过，滑倒”；wave“挥手，摇动”；skip“跳过”。根据下文的内容描述以及最后一段的最后一句“Now when f
13、riends and family laugh about the time I slipped during a dance performance，I can laugh too.”可知，此处B项最符合语境。 12. 答案：A解析：blood“血液”；pleasure“快乐，娱乐”；pride“自豪，骄傲”；tear“眼泪”。由常识可知，“我”在表演时从箱子上滑了下来，观众又咯咯地笑起来，“我”肯定会感到很尴尬，所以应该是血液上涌，“我”的脸红了。故A项符合语境。 13. 答案：D解析：leave“离开”；cheer“欢呼，为加油”；believe“相信，认为”；notice“引起注意，注
14、意到”。句意：“我”记起了舞蹈老师告诉“我们”的话。“如果你出了错，那么保持微笑吧。因为这样观众不会注意到你出了错”。由句意可知，D项正确。 14. 答案：C解析：gesture“姿态，手势”；example“例子，榜样”；advice“建议”；plan“计划”。由上下文可知，“我”尽力遵循她的建议。follow ones advice “遵循某人的建议”，固定短语。 15. 答案：B解析：doubt“怀疑”；hope“希望”；voice“声音，嗓音”；patience“耐心”。根据第一段的“I was only a 7yearold girl，but I was the center of
15、attention.Finally，after weeks of preparation，I would show off all my hard work in a dance performance.”以及“Everything would be perfectso I thought.”可推断出，“我”对这次表演充满了希望。但是由于“我”从箱子上滑了下来，所以当谢幕的时候，“我”所有的希望也随之破灭了。故只有B项符合语境。16. 答案：D解析：argue“争论，辩论”；shout“喊叫”；beg“乞求”；sob“呜咽，啜泣”。由下文的“tasting the salt from the
16、tears that streamed down my face”可知，此处sob符合语境。 17. 答案：B解析：turn down“减小，关小，拒绝”；calm down“平静下来，镇静下来”；let down“使失望，辜负”；put down“放下，写下”。“我”哭着跑向后台，情绪很激动，没人能够让“我”平静下来。故B项符合文意。 18. 答案：A解析：star“星星，明星”；pioneer“先锋”；loser“失败者，遗失者”；fool“傻子”。下文说，虽然“我”从箱子上滑了下来，但是“我”并没有跑下台，而是坚持面带微笑表演完节目，所以在这之后我才意识到自己是那晚的明星。 19. 答案
17、：C解析：satisfied“满意的”；moved“感动的”；embarrassed“尴尬的”；confused“困惑的”。由常识可知，在表演的时候从箱子上掉下来，当然感到尴尬了。所以C项符合文意。 20. 答案：B解析：however“然而，可是，无论如何”；instead“反而，代替”；in total“总计”；in return“作为回报”。句意：我很尴尬，但是我克服了跑下台的想法，而留在了台上，面带微笑结束了我们的整套舞蹈动作。由上下文可知，此处B项最符合语境。完形填空（记叙文）An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking abou
