[文章大意]这是一篇记叙文，作者在7岁时参加了一次舞蹈表演，尽管做了充分的准备，但还是发生了意想不到的事情：失足落地。但她按照老师以前所说的--当你出现失误时，保持微笑，观众就不会注意到--顺利地完成了剩下的表演。

36．A考查动词辨析。演出大厅里面坐满了看演出的观众(家人)，大家都很兴奋，所以应该选伽，意为“充满”。

39．D考查形容词辨析。从上文可知，作者已经做了充分的准备，所以她认为一切将万无一失，因此用perfect(完美的)。A项意为“合理的”；B项意为“合适的”；C项意为“明显的”。

40．A考查动词短语辨析。dress up意为“装扮”，符合语境。我在后台等着演出，穿着黑色的紧身衣，配有一条金黄色的腰带。fold up意为“把……。折叠起来”；cover up意为“掩盖”；mix up意为“混淆”。

41．C考查动词辨析。这里是主持人宣布演员上场，所以要用announced。

42．B考查名词辨析。站在舞台上面对的自然应该是台下的观众，所以要用audience(观众)。

43．A考查形容词辨析。作者进行了充分的准备，再加前面对这个动作的描述可知这个动作非常简单，所以选A项。B项意为“活跃的”；C项意为“充满危险的”；D项意为“附加的，额外的”。

44．D考查动词辨析。这里说的是我如此地集中精力于保持自己脸上的微笑和头部的动作，以至于没有看自己的脚移动的方向，结果没有踩上同伴的木箱子，滑倒在地上。keep意为“保持”，符合语境。

45．C考查语境化选词。解析参见44题。这里指的是自己的脚移动的方向，所以要用where。

46．B考查动词辨析。这里指的是我没有踩到木箱，脚下一滑，就跌倒了、。文章最后一段最后一句也有提示。A项意为“漫游”；C项意为“挥手”；D项意为“跳”。

　47．A考查名词辨析。由常识和语境可知，在舞台上出现了失误，应该是很尴尬，脸涨得通红，所以这里应该选择blood。我感到血迅速涌向我的脸。

48．D考查动词辨析。notice意为“注意到”。语意为：我记得舞蹈老师曾经告诉我们，如果在舞台上出现了失误，你要保持微笑，这样观众就不会注意到(你的失误)

49．C考查名词辨析。上一句提到的是老师的一个建议，所以这里应该选advice。follow one’s advice意思是“遵循某人的建议”。

52．B考查动词辨析。从上文的描述可以看出，我的情绪失控了，所以很不冷静，因此这里要表达的意思是：没有人能使我安静下来。calm down意思是“使……安静下来”。turn down意为“拒绝”；let down意为“放下，使失望”；put down意为“放下”。

53．A考查语境化选词。我当时一直以为自己很失败，从后面的描述来看，我现在感觉到当时没有直接走下舞台，而是继续完成表演就很成功了。所以四个选项中只有。star(明星)符合语境。

54．C考查语境化选词。这里描述的是当时在舞台上出现失误后的心情，自然应该是”尴尬的”，所以用embarrassed。A项意为“满意的”；B项意为“感动的”；D项意为“困惑的”。

55．B instead代替，反而。相反，我仍然面带微笑地完成了表演。A项意为“然而”；C项意为“总计“；D项意为“作为回报”。

A couple of days ago, my sister Liz and I spoke about Dad, and we decided to get him a little something together for Father’s Day. we talked about times when we were __(1)__ up and how Mom and Dad used to play the “good cop, bad cop” thing on us. Dad has been a person of few words since we were __(2)_. He raised us more by __(3)__ than anything else. When he spoke, though, we listened, and he was always mysterious and difficult to understand. There was always a(n) __(4)__ meaning that I never got, but Liz always __(5)__ to decipher(破解)him. By the time I got to high school, I had wanted a whole bunch of skateboard gear(装备) and I __(6)__ I was too old to ask money from may parents so I worked a burger joint. One day, I was really angry about annoying burgers. I came home huffing and puffing(气喘吁吁). Dad saw me and asked me what was the __(7)__. I told him that I was fed up with annoying burgers. He said that we all have to __(8)__ somewhere, that we may know it now, but　 the skills we learn even in a burger joint might come I handy later in life. “Who knows, you might end up having to run a __(9)_ or even own one when you grow up,” said Dad. He __(10)__ me down and I kept what he said in mind, even though I didn’t agree with it.

　　　 A couple of years later, when I got to college, I worked in a restaurant. During one of the really __(11)__ days that we had, we　 were short on kitchen staff. Our customers were getting impatient and the __(12)_ were getting delayed. we were sure any minute something terrible would __(13)__ out. I couldn’t stand the __(14)__ any more, so I rolled up my sleeves, got myself a hair net and helped out in the hot kitchen. We caught up the with the orders __(15)__. The owner saw what I did and called me over around __(16)__ time. He said he was very __(17)__. He raised my salary and made me the assistant manager even though I could only go part-time. That was __(18)__ I realized that what my dad said to me all those years before was absolutely true.

　　　 I’ve never forgotten what my dad said that. And whenever I have to do something that require new skills, no matter how small or __(19)__ it seems, I have a new perspective(看法)that it might help me later on or even right now and I just don’t know it. Experience is everything and it _(20)__ a lot when you take lessons from it. That’s my life philosophy.
