分析 本文是一篇说明文.主要介绍了意大利的水上城市威尼斯的狂欢节,狂欢节在威尼斯有着悠久的历史,一直以来都是这个城市传统的节日.
解答 61.a 考查冠词.根据句意"威尼斯--一个意大利东北部的水边城市",表示"一"的概念时需用不定冠词,故填a.
62.excitement 考查名词.因为and连接并列成分且词性一致,所以此处应用名词形式,故填excitement.
63.and 考查固定短语.between…and…是固定搭配,意为"在…和…之间",故填and.
64.traditional 考查形容词.因为形容词修饰名词,所以修饰名词 masks and costumes的是形容词,故填traditional.
65.originally 考查副词.因为副词修饰动词,所以修饰动词meantd应用副词originally.
66.who/that 考查定语从句的关系代词.从句中缺少主语且先行词party-goers指人,故填 who/that.
67.before 考查介词.句意为:在狂欢节之前的几个月里,我们加班以满足需求.故填before,意为"在…之前".
68.dates 考查一般现在时态.句意:威尼斯的狂欢节要追溯到中世纪.固定短语 date back to意为"追溯到",常用一般现在时,又因主语是第三人称单数,故填dates.
69.one 考查代词.句意:在当时,威尼斯是欧洲最富有的城市之一.one of…意为"…之一",故填one.
70.has been built考查现在完成时的被动语态.时间状语 in the past centuries是现在完成时的标志,industry与build是被动关系,所以是现在完成时的被动语态,故填has been built.
