【解析】【1】fill“使充满,装满”;visit“参观,拜访”;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】presure“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】take over“接管”;show off“卖弄,炫耀,表现”;look after“照顾”;give up“放弃”。句意:最后,经过几周的准备之后,在这次舞蹈表演中“我”将会把“我”辛苦练习的舞蹈表现出来。故只有B项最合适。
【4】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】dress up“打扮,穿上盛装”;fold up“垮台,放弃”;cover up“掩盖,盖住”;mix up“拌和,搅和”。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 balck tights with a golden belt可知,这是为了表演特意穿上的,是为了把自己打扮的更漂亮,所以只有dress up符合文意。
【6】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】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】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抬头挺胸上,证明这种脚步的移动很简单,很容易。
【9】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】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】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 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】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】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”记起了舞蹈老师告诉“我们”的话:“如果你出了错,就保持微笑吧。因为这样观众就不会注意到你出错了。”由句意可知D项正确。
【14】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”,为固定短语。
【15】doubt“怀疑”;hope“希望”;voice“声音,嗓音”;patience“耐心”。根据第一段的“I was only a 7-year-old girl, but I was the center of__2__. Finally, after weeks of preparation, I would__3__all my hard work in a dance performance.”以及“Everything would be perfect—so I thought.”可推知,“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】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】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】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,所以在这之后我意识到自己是那晚的明星。
【19】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】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,但是我克制住了跑下台的想法,留在了台上,面带微笑地结束了我们整套舞蹈动作。由上下文可知,此处B项最符合语境。
