分析 许多亚洲国家有自己的方式来庆祝新年,但在一些其他地方也以各种方式来迎接新年的到来.
解答 61.numbers 考查名词.此处考查固定短语numbers of=a number of表示大量的,修饰可数名词.
62.a 考查冠词.根据句意可知,去年纽约让农历新年第一次成为一个节假日,a school holiday 一个学校的假日.
63.partly 考查副词.此处修饰短语due to需用副词形式,即partly.
64. have moved 考查 时态.根据句子时间 since 1978自从1978,确定时态为现在完成时.
65.whom 考查连接词.分析句式可知此处是定语从句,放在介词of后面只能用whom.
66.of 考查介词 be aware of 意识到,属于固定搭配,此处做状语,只保留aware of,故答案为of.
67.started 考查时态.句子里start和a tradition 之间是被动关系,故用过去分词表示后置定语.
68.to avoid 考查动词不定式.句子里to avoid是动词不定式表示目的.
69.Its 考查物主代词.此处修饰cultural"soft power需用形容词性物主代词,用its.
70.satisfaction 考查名词.考查固定短语give sb sth,给某人某物,所以用satisfy的名词形式.
点评 考生在对题目进行作答之前,要先对题干进行详细阅读,检查题目中是否有提示词语存在;而后判断出所填词语在句子中所充当的句子成分,例如,主语、谓语等;最后根据其所充当的句子成分,加之其所处句子的语态等,选择词语的正确形式,例如,动词的现在分词或者过去分词,或者形容词的比较或者最高级的使用等.
在句子中没有提示词或者标志词存在时,考生要根据句子中所填词语的位置,判断所填词语的词性,例如,连接词、定冠词或者不定冠词、代词或者介词等.定冠词以及不定冠词的位置通常在名词之前,起到对名词进行限制的作用.而代词则分为形容词性物主代词、名词性代词、指示代词和不定代词等.在运用介词的时候,往往考查介词的固定搭配,其中包括动词、形容词等与介词的搭配.

It takes consistent time and effort to be an expert in any area.People usually get discouraged when it takes more time than they thought it would.At this time,people refer only to people who have already achieved what they want to do.Look at any successful person and you'll notice one thing common in all of them:they took time to learn and mastered their skill like no one else.There is no elevator to success; you have to take the stairs.
You don't have to live your life in a way society wants you to.Many old beliefs are being performed these days and are followed blindly.Parents sometimes force their children to select a career they don't want because other children have selected that career.Worst of all,people follow them without even asking.There is no harm in believing in old beliefs but when you pursue them before your interest,sooner or later you'll realize that you should first do what you think is right.
We don't care about the things we get easily.Take health for example.Very few people take their health seriously.They know that if their health is lost,they won't be happy,but they still eat junk food and never exercise.Why?Because they don't take their health seriously and the real reason behind that is they have got it for free.We spend thousands on cars and take care of them nicely.Imagine what would have been the price of human body if we had to pay for it?
Be brave to take the road less traveled.In our whole life,we always want to follow the same path that everyone suggests,do the same thing everyone does,take the same career path everyone takes,wear the same clothes everyone wears,and hang out with the same people we work with.Why?Because we are scared to fail.But when you get bored of life,you realize that you are not meant to do what everyone does and that your destiny is different than anyone else's out there in the world.But the price we pay to realize this is high because it takes a great amount of courage to follow your own trail by listening to your heart.
Break the rules sometimes.We follow rules so that things are in order and no one is disturbed unnecessarily.This is true in case of traffic and other company rules but when it comes to your life,there are rules made by people who are scared to do something apart from their routine and therefore they made rules to prevent others doing so.But when time passes by and you think you are not being directed towards your goal and these so-called rules are your biggest obstacles,BREAK THEM.Sometimes,we need to be bold and act courageously.
