解析：
1. A.
这句话的意思是：他赞美着镜子中的自己。爱波特第一次登台前，在镜子前照了又照，含有自我欣赏的意味。flatter奉承，阿谀She only flatters you so you will help her. 她只是奉承你，以便你能帮助她;gaze vi.后面接名词的时候和at连用;show 展示。只有admire 表示欣赏，可以用于别人，也可以用于自身。
2. D.
照镜子的时候人的影子在“镜子里”，用介词in. on 表示在表面，是相互之间有接触的。
3. B.
这句话的意思是：他甚至想知道是不是应该走在大街上，看看人们对他的印象是如何的。
wonder后面常常跟由if或whether引导的从句。
4. C.
“给某人留下印象”make impression on sb.
5. C.
这句话的意思是：当然只是开个玩笑。表示“开玩笑”，通常用joke或kid。我们也可以说：Just joking/ just kidding.
6. B.
这句话的意思是：他该怎样面对观众呢?
7. D.
这里是说“观众群中的人们”，台下坐的人们应该属于观众这一群体的，所以他们之间是一种包含或者从属的关系，表示这种关系用介词in。
8. C.
这位远远初次登台演出，最初的兴奋早已烟消云散，随之而来的是紧张和恐惧，使他都想不起台词了。Remember 想起，记起，回忆;refresh 使精力恢复;remind 提醒(sb of sth)
9. A.
这句话的意思是：他仅有很少的一部分，但是他的脑袋一片空白。我们通常用blank表示“毫无思绪，头脑空白”。His memory is a blank. 他什么也记不起来。a blank mind空虚的心灵
10. C.
这句话的意思是：一阵敲门声使他抬头往上看了看。Knock这个词兼有名词和动词的词性。后面经常和介词at连用。这里用作名词。
