【分析】
本题是围绕学校才艺秀展开的语篇填空，需结合语境、语法规则（词性变化、时态、固定搭配、连词、最高级等）逐个分析填空。解题时先通读全文理解大意，再针对每个空的句子结构、所需词性、固定搭配等推导答案：修饰名词用对应形容词，different后接名词复数，因果关系用连词，最高级需结合语境和定冠词the，固定搭配遵循固定用法，时态结合上下文时间状语，介词、冠词、非谓语动词、物主代词等按语法规则填写。
【解析】
71. 修饰名词talent show需用形容词，interest的形容词形式interesting（修饰物），故填interesting；
72. different后接可数名词复数，class的复数为classes，故填classes；
73. 前半句称Eliza是最佳表演者，后半句说明原因（钢琴弹得最美），表因果用连词because，故填because；
74. 结合定冠词the及语境“谁是最有趣的”，用形容词funny的最高级funniest，故填funniest；
75. 固定搭配can't stop doing sth（忍不住做某事），故填laughing；
76. 全文描述上周的才艺秀，用一般过去时，play的过去式为played，故填played；
77. 固定搭配kinds of（各种各样的），故填of；
78. 表“一场糟糕的表演”，terrible以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a，故填a；
79. 固定句型it is + adj + to do sth（it作形式主语，不定式作真正主语），故填to watch；
80. 修饰名词talents需用形容词性物主代词，they的形容词性物主代词为their，故填their。
