【解析】

1.演出大廳里面坐滿了看演出的觀眾(家人)，大家都很興奮，所以選fill，意為“充滿”

2.the center of attention意為“關(guān)注的焦點(diǎn)”。

3.show off“展示”。經(jīng)過(guò)數(shù)周的準(zhǔn)備，“我”將在一個(gè)舞蹈表演中展示(這段時(shí)間來(lái))“我”所有的努力。A“接管”；C“照顧，照看”；D“放棄”。

4.從上文可知，作者已經(jīng)做了充分的準(zhǔn)備，所以她認(rèn)為一切將萬(wàn)無(wú)一失，因此用perfect(完美的)。

5.dress up裝扮。“我”在后臺(tái)等著演出，穿著黑色的緊身衣，搭配一條金黃色的腰帶。

6.這里是主持人宣布演員上場(chǎng)，所以要用announced 宣布。

7.站在舞臺(tái)上，面對(duì)的自然應(yīng)該是臺(tái)下的觀眾(audience觀眾)。

8.easy簡(jiǎn)單的。這真是一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的移動(dòng)。符合句意。

9.keeping保持。符合句意。

10.這里指的是自己的腳移動(dòng)的方向，所以要用where。

11.這里指的是“我”沒(méi)有踩到木箱，腳下一滑，就跌倒了。文章最后一段最后一句也有提示。

12.由常識(shí)和語(yǔ)境可知，在舞臺(tái)上出現(xiàn)了失誤，應(yīng)該是很尷尬，臉漲得通紅，所以這里應(yīng)該選擇blood�！拔摇备械窖�液迅速涌向“我”的臉。

13.notice注意到。

14.上一句提到的是老師的一個(gè)建議，所以這里應(yīng)該選advice。

15.由下文語(yǔ)境可知，“我”的希望，也就是演出成功的希望隨著幕布的落下而消失了，故選hopes。

16.由后半部分的“tasting the salt from the tears that streamed down my face”可以看出，“我”一下臺(tái)就痛苦地啜泣起來(lái)，所以選D項(xiàng)，意思是“啜泣”。

17.從上文的描述可以看出，“我”的情緒失控了，所以很不冷靜，因此這里要表達(dá)的意思是：沒(méi)有人能使我冷靜下來(lái)。calm down意為“使……平靜、冷靜下來(lái)”。

18.“我”當(dāng)時(shí)一直以為自己很失敗，但從后面的描述來(lái)看，“我”現(xiàn)在意識(shí)到當(dāng)時(shí)沒(méi)有直接走下舞臺(tái)，而是繼續(xù)完成表演是成功的。

19.這里描述的是當(dāng)時(shí)在舞臺(tái)上出現(xiàn)失誤后的心情，自然應(yīng)該是“尷尬的”，所以用embarrassed。

20.instead代替，反而。相反，“我”仍然面帶微笑地完成了表演。
