16.An Interesting FestivalThe Agricultural Feast takes place after the Independence Day.It is not a worldwide celebration.Only Christians in Mexico look forward to its (62)arrival (arrive) for its religious orin.
Long ago,humans'ancestors were bad.They fooled and played tricks on each other and never kept their (63)word (word).So God turned up and drowned all their crops.Humans starved day and night,weeping.In order to gain God's forgiveness,a woman poet set off to see God.She admired God and kept apologizing.God (64)was moved (move).With his permission,humans finally had good harvests again.So,to wipe sadness and remind themselves of the belief in God,people began the festival.
On the festival,people gather in the open air,(65)such as playgrounds or parking lots,and energetically have fun (66)with each other all night long,as though they (67)were (be) never tired.When a beauy(68)dressed (dress) up in lovely clothing reads poems in memory of(69)the poet,everyone holds their breath.Then,it is the custom (70)that the bone of a rooster head is given to her as an award.
Obviously,the story is not true,(71)but the festival is interesting.
分析 本文讲述的农业节的来历.
农业节在美国独立日之后庆祝,这是一个只有墨西哥的基督徒的这个节日.传说很久以前由于人类的不成实,互相愚弄,上帝惩罚人类,淹没了他们的庄稼.为了祈求上帝的原谅,一位女诗人写诗来赞美上帝,向他道歉,上帝原谅了人类.为了庆祝悲伤的离去以及对上帝的信仰,人们建立了这个节日.
解答 61.arrival.考查派生词.根据定语是物主代词its可知用动词arrive的名词 arrival.表示'只有墨西哥的基督徒期盼这个节日的到来.
62.word.考查固定短语.keep one's word表示"遵守诺言".
63.was moved.考查谓语动词.主语God和谓语动词move之间是被动关系,而且通过上文可知是讲述过去的故事,所以谓语动词用一般过去时态的被动语态was moved.
6 4.such.考查固定短语.such as表示"例如".
65.with.考查固定短语.have fun with表示"和…玩的愉快".
66.were.考查虚拟语气.根据引导词as though 表示"好像",和 energetically have fun (66)with each other all night long,可知本句用虚拟语气,表示"看起来他们永远不会累",所以用were表示跟现在的事实相反.
67.dressed.考查非谓语动词.dress做定语,和主语a beauy是被动关系,所以用dressed.表示"一个穿漂亮衣服的美女".
68.the.考查冠词.根据句义可知念得是上文提到的这个诗人的诗歌,所以用the特指这个诗人.
69.that.考查主语从句.it 做形式主语,代指后面的从句 the bone of a rooster head is given to her as an award,由于从句的句义和句式完整,所以用that.
70.but.考查并列连词.the story is not true表示"这个故事不是真的",the festival is interesting表示"这个节日有趣",所以二者之间是转折关系,因此用but.
点评 考查语法填空.
as if引出的状语从句谓语多用虚拟语气,表示与事实相反,有时也用陈述语气,表示所说情况是事实或实现的可能性较大.汉译常作"仿佛…似的","好像…似的",例如:
1.They completely ignore these facts as if (as though) they never existed.
他们完全忽略了这些事实,就仿佛它不存在似的.(与事实相反,谓语用虚拟语气.)
2.He looks as if (as though) he had been hit by lighting.
他那样子就像被雷击了似的.(与事实相反,谓语用虚拟语气.)
3.It looks as if the weather may pick up very soon.
看来天气很快就会好起来.(实现的可能性较大,谓语用陈述语气.)
