【分析】
本题为词汇运用题，需根据句子结构、固定搭配、词性要求及时态规则，对所给单词进行适当形式变化。具体思路：1. 第一题考查“one of + 形容词最高级 + 可数名词复数”的固定结构，需将动词paint变为名词复数；2. 第二题修饰动词需用副词，将形容词beautiful变为副词；3. 第三题形容词性物主代词后接名词，将动词appear变为名词；4. 第四题while引导的时间状语从句，主从句时态一致，用过去进行时；5. 第五题现在分词作定语表主动关系，用connect的现在分词形式。
【解析】
1. 固定搭配“one of + 形容词最高级 + 可数名词复数”，paint的名词形式为painting，复数为paintings，故填paintings。
2. 此处修饰动词performed，需用副词，beautiful的副词形式为beautifully，故填beautifully。
3. 形容词性物主代词her后接名词，appear的名词形式为appearance，故填appearance。
4. while引导的时间状语从句，主句为过去进行时（were listening），从句也用过去进行时，主语为I，故填was showing。
5. 现在分词作定语修饰road，表主动关系，connect的现在分词为connecting，故填connecting。
【答案】
1. paintings 2. beautifully 3. appearance 4. was showing 5. connecting
