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
