112、昨晚，我在中国北京的紫禁城观看了贾科莫普契尼的世界闻名的歌剧图兰朵仅有八场演出中的第一场。根据空前数量词“eight”可知，所填空应是可数名词复数。“perform”，动词，意为“表演”，其名词形式为“performance(表演)”，可数名词。故填performances。【57题详解】考查不定冠词。句意：想象一下，在紫禁城表演这样一出歌剧没有比这更棒的场景了!分析可知，空前“such”意为“如此的；这样的”，为形容词，构成“such a/an+可数名词单数”短语结构，因此所填空应是不定冠词，且空后“opera”发音为“/pr/”，元音开头，应用不定冠词an。故填an。【58题详解】考查定语
