1. 答案：A
解析：fill“使充满，装满〞；visit“参观，访问〞；attend“参加〞；decorate“装饰〞。

由下文可知作者所经历的事情发生在一次学校的舞蹈表演上。

孩子们的家人都来看孩子们的舞蹈表演。

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“接收〞；show off“卖弄，炫耀，表现〞；l ook after“照顾〞；give up“放弃〞。

句意：最后，经过多周的准备之后，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项最适宜。

4. 答案：D
解析：reasonable“合情合理的〞；suitable“适宜的，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，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 partner's 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与最后一段的最后一句“Now when friends 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，注意到〞。

句意：“我〞记起了舞蹈教师告诉“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 one's 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 attention.Finally，
after weeks of preparation，I would show off all my hard work in a dance performance.〞以与“Everything would be perfect—so 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 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：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：howev er“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，但是我抑制了跑下台的想法，而留在了台上，面带微笑完毕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。
