解析:

1. A。因?yàn)橛^眾都是站在場(chǎng)外的，所以她向外“看”。

2. C。她向外看的目的是“希望”能看到她媽媽。

3. B。根據(jù) all the way(全程)來(lái)判斷他們是開(kāi)車(chē)來(lái)的，其余選項(xiàng)均不宜與其搭配。

4. D。從文章開(kāi)頭的 …Peggy took a quick look at her father standing nearby …可得出答案。

5. A。根據(jù)滑冰場(chǎng)上的慣例，音樂(lè)“開(kāi)始”后，滑冰運(yùn)動(dòng)員才開(kāi)始滑動(dòng)。

6. C。根據(jù)滑冰的情景，音樂(lè)“帶”她進(jìn)入旋轉(zhuǎn)。

7. B。根據(jù)常識(shí)，比賽開(kāi)始，運(yùn)動(dòng)員要“自信”，還可根據(jù)后面的in herself 來(lái)判斷得出答案。

8. A。根據(jù)常識(shí)在比賽開(kāi)始前的“最后”幾秒鐘產(chǎn)生畏懼感。

9. D。gone 表示“結(jié)束了”的意思。

10. C。因?yàn)楸荣惣磳⒔Y(jié)束，可她心里還沒(méi)有平靜，就像慣性一樣，認(rèn)為“音樂(lè)”還在運(yùn)動(dòng)。

11. D。then 表示順序的先后。

12. B。根據(jù)前面的 a final turn(最后的旋轉(zhuǎn))可知她的表演就要“結(jié)束”了。

13. C。根據(jù)前后句的所屬關(guān)系，后面是時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句，as=when(當(dāng)…時(shí)候)。

14. A。因?yàn)榍懊嬉呀?jīng)敘述了觀眾的贊賞，所以對(duì)于后來(lái)的贊賞應(yīng)該是“其中一個(gè)滑冰運(yùn)動(dòng)員”。

15. B。根據(jù)經(jīng)驗(yàn)，自由滑冰表演之后“總是”要給予評(píng)判的。

16. D。根據(jù)前面的 remark 及競(jìng)技場(chǎng)上的常識(shí)，評(píng)判、打分應(yīng)是“裁判員”。

17. C。運(yùn)動(dòng)員比賽完之后要“等待”最后的得分結(jié)果。

18. B。表示運(yùn)動(dòng)員“急切地”想知道分?jǐn)?shù)的心情。

19. D。根據(jù)比賽常識(shí)，要“宣布、通知”比賽的結(jié)果。

20. A。從文章的第 1 段all the way from California可得出答案。
