解答 61.celebration;考查名词,空格前面是worldwide是形容词,形容词后面应该跟名词,故空格处用名词形式celebration.
62.played;考查动词的时态,这里过去时played和and前面的fooled是并列成分,并列作句子的谓语.
63.and;考查连词,根据上下文,这里用and表示并列,"上帝出现了并淹了他们所有的作物".
64.moved;考查分词作形容词,动词的分词作形容词时,现在分词修饰物说明事物的性质,过去分词修饰人形容人的心理感受,这里主语是god,所以用过去分词.
65.to wipe;考查不定式,在这里用动词的不定式形式表示目的.
66.of;考查介词,这里是固定搭配,remind sb of sth意为"提醒某人记住某事".
67.When;考查时间状语从句,结合上下文句意,这里用when引导时间状语从句,意为"当一位打扮漂亮穿着可爱的女士读诗时,每个人都屏住了呼吸".
68.it;考查固定句型,这是"It is+名词+that从句",这里that引导名词性从句.
69.Obviously;考查副词,这里副词放在句首作句子的状语.
70.the;考查定冠词,这里用定冠词表示特指,特指本文中讲到的节日.
