【解析】

本文讲述了作者想成为一名演员，但在很多人面前会害羞，戏剧课帮助作者解决了这个问题。经过两次上台演出之后，作者更加自信，非常喜欢表演，并且梦想正一步一步成真。

1.句意：我知道对某些人来说这听起来很奇怪，但这就是我真正想做的。

when何时；what什么；whose谁的；why为什么。根据句子结构，此句是一个宾语从句。空格处作be的宾语，所以用what引导宾语从句。故选B。

2.句意：戏剧课帮我解决了这个问题。

dealing with处理，动名词；working on从事于……，动名词；work on从事于……，动词原形；deal with处理，动词原形。固定搭配help sb (to) do sth“帮助某人做某事”，所以空格处填动词原形，排除A和B选项。根据上文I used to be outgoing with my family, but I was very shy in front of the other people，可知，作者过去在家人面前很外向，在其他人面前很害羞，戏剧课帮助作者解决了这个问题，所以空格处填deal with。故选D。

3.句意：三年前我开始练习戏剧，因为我认为它是一个提高我表演技巧的很好方法，并帮助我变得有信心。

a不定冠词，用于以辅音音素开头的单词前；an不定冠词，用于以元音音素开头的单词前；the定冠词。根据句子结构，不定式to improve my acting skills是作way的定语。根据句意，此空处表示“一个提高我表演技巧的很好方法”，表泛指，且great是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以空格处填a。故选A。

4.句意：我惊讶于这一切发生得多么快。

surprising令人惊讶的，形容词；to surprised错误表达；surprised感到惊讶的，形容词；surprises惊讶，动词。空格处是位于系动词was后，所以空格处填形容词作表语，排除D选项。surprising修饰物，surprised修饰人，原句中主语是I，指人，所以空格处填surprised。故选C。

5.句意：我第一次上台表演之前非常担心，但是当表演结束时，我为自己感到骄傲。

ended一般过去时；would end过去将来时；will end一般将来时；has ended现在完成时。when引导的时间状语从句，主句中系动词was是一般过去时，且end是短暂性动词，所以从句也用一般过去时，故空格处填ended。故选A。

6.句意：在第二场表演期间，我非常自信，并且我非常喜欢表演，演绎角色，成为父母的骄傲，并得到他们的赞美。

to acting介词to+动名词；to act动词不定式；acting动名词；act动词原形。固定搭配enjoy doing sth“喜欢做某事”，所以空格处填动名词acting作宾语。故选C。

7.句意：现在我可以在人们面前表达我自己，感觉很舒服。

me我，人称代词宾格；I我，人称代词主格；mine我的，名词性物主代词；myself我自己，反身代词。根据前文but I was very shy in front of the other people. Drama (戏剧) classes helped me deal with this problem，可知，作者刚开始在其他人面前很害羞，戏剧课帮助作者解决了这个问题，现在作者在人们面前可以表达自己，所以空格处填反身代词myself。故选D。

8.句意：我刚拍了一些短片和一个视频，我希望能有一份好工作。

or或者，表选择关系；and和，表并列和递进关系；if如果，引导条件状语从句；until直到，引导时间状语从句。根据句意，前文I've just acted in some short movies and one video“我刚拍了一些短片和一个视频”，后文I hope that I will have a wonderful job“我希望我能有一份好工作”，前后文表递进关系，所以空格处填表并列和递进关系的连词and。故选B。

9.句意：了解你的技能和能力是很重要的，这样你可以做很多事情，让你的梦想成真。

importantly重要地，副词；difficult困难的，形容词；important重要的，形容词；difficultly困难，名词。根据句子结构，动词不定式是真正的主语，it作形式主语，空格处是位于系动词was后，所以空格处填形容词作表语，排除A和D选项。根据句意，so that引导目的状语从句，根据从句so that you can do many things and make your dreams come true，可知，了解自己的技能和能力是很重要的，这样你才可以做很多事情，让你的梦想成真，所以空格处填important。故选C。

10.句意：就像穆罕默德阿里说的“如果你没有被自己的梦想吓到，那说明它们还不够大”。

dream梦想，单数；lessons课程，复数；lesson课程，单数；dreams梦想，复数。根据前文I would like to be an actress及Confidence would help me achieve my dreams，可知，作者梦想成为一名演员，刚开始比较害羞，后来通过戏剧课让自己变得更加自信，而自信心帮助作者达成了梦想，本文一直围绕作者的梦想而展开描述，所以文章结尾引用名人名言“如果没有被你的梦想吓到，那说明他们还不够大”。空格后don’t是助动词原形，所以空格处填复数名词dreams。故选D。
