解答 61.it 62.starvation 63.were held 64.which 65.origins
66.celebrate 67.to honor 68.the 69.As 70.what
61.it 考查it用法.根据句子结构,it作形式宾语,代指后面的动词不定式短语to discover food in winter.
62.starvation 考查名词.from是介词,后接名词,动词starve的名词是starvation.
63.were held 考查动词时态和语态.第一段主要谈过去的事情,要用一般过去时态,且festivals与hold之间是动宾关系,用一般过去时态的被动语态的复数.
64.which 考查定语从句.析句子结构可知这是一个定语从句,先行词harvest指事,要用关系代词which.
65.origins 考查名词.origin意为"起源",根据句意,要用复数形式.
66.celebrate 考查动词时态.在谓语动词前用助动词do,does或did来强调谓语动词,谓语动词用原形.
67.to honor 考查动词不定式.根据句意,此处不定式表示目的.即:一些节目举办来纪念死者或使祖先满意.
68.the 考查冠词.因后面有介词短语of the spirits 修饰,表示特指,用定冠词the.
69.As 考查定语从句.as引导定语从句,as的先行词是后面整个句子Harvest and Thanksgiving festivals are very happy events.
70.what 考查宾语从句.gather是及物动词,缺少宾语,用疑问代词what作其宾语.
