2．A.beat C．run

3．A.amazement C．sadness
B．excitement D．satisfaction
B 解析：由上句可知，作者非常激动、紧张，所以音乐响起时内心应该是激动的。 amazement 意为“惊异”； excitement 意为“兴奋；激动”；sadness意为“悲伤”；satisfaction意为“满意”。B项符合语境。
4．A.time C．place
B．turn D．order
C 解析：根据常识可知，作者是领舞，所以音乐响起后会站到舞台中央。take one’s time意为“不慌不忙”；take one’s turn意为“轮到某人”；take one’s place意为“某人就位”；take one’s order意为“为某人点餐”。故选C项。
