【解析】

本文讲述了作者在中国同学的帮助和鼓励下，克服紧张，表演成功的故事。在歌唱比赛中，作者因为紧张失败了，同伴鼓励他。在一个月后的艺术节上，在同学们的鼓励加油下，他终于表演成功。作者非常感谢他的中国同学们。

1.

句意：我参加了（歌唱比赛）是因为我真的很喜欢唱歌。

根据上文提到的a singing competition“歌唱比赛”和首字母s的提示可知，作者正是因为喜欢唱歌，才参加歌唱比赛，所以这里用动词“唱歌”sing；动词love后接动词ing作宾语，故填singing。

2.

句意：她总是面带微笑，她是我最好的朋友之一。

根据上文a sweet girl“一个可爱甜美的女孩”以及下文Jenny对作者的鼓励和帮助可知，她是一个善良的女孩；结合首字母s的提示可知，Jenny总是面带微笑，所以这里用名词“微笑”smile，空前有不定冠词a，所以这里用单数，故填smile。

3.

句意：我太紧张了，当我们唱歌的时候我忘了歌词。

根据空后“I forgot the lyrics (歌词) when we sang”可知作者太紧张了以至于把歌词都忘记了，结合首字母n的提示可知，这里用形容词“紧张的”nervous，故填nervous。

4.

句意：我们最终失败了，我感到非常抱歉。

根据行文结构可知，这里交代作者和同伴参加歌唱比赛的结果，结合首字母f的提示可知，这里用副词“最后”finally，故填finally。

5.

句意：Jenny尽力安慰我说：“还会有机会的。”

分析句子可知，这里缺少名词；结合首字母c的提示和下文的艺术节表演可知，这里Jenny劝作者不要灰心，还会有机会，所以这里用名词“机会”，空前有 another，所以这里chance用单数，故填chance。

6.

句意：我想到的第一个人是Jenny，虽然我不确定她是否愿意。

分析句子可知，这里缺少一个形容词。根据下一句“While I was thinking about it, she came to me and said she would join me.”可知直到Jenny主动和作者说她愿意一起表演，作者之前都不确定Jenny是否愿意；结合首字母w的提示可知，这里用形容词“愿意的”willing，故填willing。

7.

句意：我们决定在艺术节上演唱“See You Again”，因为这是我去英国之前的告别表演。

根据上文“After about a month, our school’s art festival began. I decided to join in it.”可知作者决定参加这次的艺术节，结合首字母f的提示可知，这里用名词“节日”festival，故填festival。

8.

句意：艺术节的日子终于到来了。

分析句子可知，这里缺少一个动词。根据下文描述艺术节当天作者在同学们鼓励下的表演可知，这里是交代艺术节这天终于到了；结合首字母a的提示可知，这里用动词“来临”arrive；因为这里讲述的是过去的事情，结合本段的时态一般过去时可知，这里也应用一般过去时，所以arrive用其过去式，直接加d，故填arrived。

9.

句意：我唱完歌后，每个人都为我欢呼。

分析句子可知，这里缺少一个动词。根据上文“As I walked into the class, my classmates started clapping for me.”可知在作者表演前，同学们为其加油，在表演结束后，同学们为其欢呼；结合首字母c的提示可知，这里用动词“欢呼”cheer，因为这里讲述的是过去的事情，结合本段的时态一般过去时可知，这里也应用一般过去时，所以cheer用其过去式，故填cheered。

10.

句意：我们在一起玩得很开心。

根据上一句“It was a really unforgettable and touching afternoon.”可知作者在那样难忘和感人的下午和同学们玩得很开心；结合首字母o的提示和空前动词enjoy的用法enjoy oneself可知，这里应用反身代词“我们自己”，故填ourselves。
