解析:

1. A。因為觀眾都是站在場外的，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)來判斷他們是開車來的，其余選項均不宜與其搭配。

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

5. A。根據(jù)滑冰場上的慣例，音樂“開始”后，滑冰運動員才開始滑動。

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

7. B。根據(jù)常識，比賽開始，運動員要“自信”，還可根據(jù)后面的in herself 來判斷得出答案。

8. A。根據(jù)常識在比賽開始前的“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。因為比賽即將結(jié)束，可她心里還沒有平靜，就像慣性一樣，認(rèn)為“音樂”還在運動。

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，后面是時間狀語從句，as=when(當(dāng)…時候)。

14. A。因為前面已經(jīng)敘述了觀眾的贊賞，所以對于后來的贊賞應(yīng)該是“其中一個滑冰運動員”。

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

16. D。根據(jù)前面的 remark 及競技場上的常識，評判、打分應(yīng)是“裁判員”。

17. C。運動員比賽完之后要“等待”最后的得分結(jié)果。
