解析:

本文通常一个希腊神话说明了四季变化的由来。

36. B。根据文章最后几句话可知,文章讲的是季节(season)的更换。

37. B。Zeus是宇宙之神,是众神的统治者。从下文可以看出,不仅Demeter和Hades之间的矛盾的需要Zeus的调解,而且他们的想法也要取得Zeus的同意。

38. A。根据上文的Hades…fell in love with Persephone 以及后文的…agree to the marriage 可知,Hades想娶Persephone为妻。

39. A。此处指的是Zeus既不会同意这桩婚事,也不会禁止。

40. D。根据下文可知,Hades是抢走Persephone,即没有得到允许。

41. D。比较:find out查明真相;let out放开,放出;work out 算出;think out 想出。只有选项D最符合语境。

42. C。后文说Demeter 决定要让所有植物停止生长,可见她很生气(angry)。

43. C。根据第54空处的内容可知,此处指她使所有植物停止生长。

44. A。比较:in danger of 处于……的危险中;in the hope of 怀有……的希望;in turn 依次;in case of 以防万一。根据后文的starving 可知,此题填空in danger of 最佳。

45. B。not...until 意为“直到……才”,此处指的是她要直到她女儿回来才让植物生长。

46. B。根据其后的still not wanting to disappoint Hades可知答案。

47. A。此处指Persephone回到她母亲身边。

48. C。根据下文的Persephone had eaten several pomegranate seeds可知答案。

49. D。根据上下文的语境看,Demeter 接受了Zeus的条件。

50. A。此处指“发现”事情真相。

51. B。根据下文的she must spend part of the year in the underworld可知出此处应选with her mother。

52. C。句中的it 为形式主语,真正的主语是that 引导的主语从句。此处的意思是“……就这样发生了”。

53. D。比较四个选项,只有will 最合语境。

54. C。That’s why… 的意思是“这就是为什么……”“这就是……的原因”。

55. D。当 Persephone 回来时,Demeter很高兴,所以就是春天,植物开始生长。
