Some myths are stories told since ancient times to explain the causes for natural happenings.The Greek myth that explains why there are changes of   1   is about Demeter, the goddess of the harvest.She had a daughter, Persephone, whom she loved very much.Hades, god of the underworld, fell in love with Persephone, and he asked Zeus, the   2   of the gods, to give Persephone to him as his   3  .Zeus did not want either to disappoint Hades or to upset Demeter, so he said he would not agree to the marriage, but neither would he   4   it.Hades, therefore, decided to take the girl without   5  .When Persephone was picking flowers in the garden, he seized her and took her to the underworld.When Demeter   6   what happened to Persephone, she became so   7   that she caused all plants to   8  .People were in   9   of starving, But Demeter was determined not to let crops grow   10   her daughter, Persephone, was returned to her.  11  , still not wanting to disappoint Hades, decided upon a condition for Persephone’s   12  .She could go back to her mother if she had not   13   anything while she was in the underworld.Demeter   14   it because she did not know that Persephone had eaten several pomegranate(石榴)seeds in the underworld.When Zeus   15   this, he agreed that Persephone could spend part of the year with her   16  , but he added that since she had eaten the seeds, she must spend part of the year in the underworld.And so it   17   that when Persephone is in the underworld, Demeter is sad and therefore   18   not let the crops grow.That is   19   we have winter when plants do not grow.When Persephone returns, Demeter is   20  , it is spring, and plants begin to grow again.

解析:

(1)

根据主题句和下文,可以推知,这里是讲一个关于为什么会有季节变化的希腊神话。

(2)

根据上下文我们知道Hades和Demeter都是god,但它们做事情需要征询另一个god,即Zeus的同意,由此判断Zeus一定是掌管或控制诸神的神。

(3)

根据上下文的love, fell in love with,和marriage这些词很容易得知此处表示“Hades请求Zeus把Persephone赐给自己为妻。”其他项不符合文意。

(4)

根据上下文推知本句意思是“Zeus说他不会同意这桩婚姻,但也不会阻止”

(5)

without permission意思是未经允许,没有征求许可。根据文意,此处表示由于Zeus对这件事既不同意,也不阻止,所以Hades决定不再征询许可就把Persephone带走。所以选D。

(6)

此处表示“当Demeter得知(或了解、发现)Persephone。被Hades带走了这件事情时……”,四个选项中只有find out有“了解、弄清、查明(事情的真相)”之意,故选D。

(7)

当得知自己的女儿被别人强行带走了,母亲自然会很生气,所以选C。

(8)

根据故事情景,由于Demeter是the goddess of the harvest。掌管着。庄稼的收获,她是想用caused all plants to stop growing来惩罚Hades,故选C符合文意。

(9)

in danger of是一习惯搭配,表示“面临……的危险”,符合上下文语境。其他项虽然也能构成正确搭配,但不符合文意。

(10)

本句意为“Demeter决定不让庄稼生长,直到Hades把她女儿送回来为止。”B符合题意。

(11)

根据上文,在此事情上有决定权的是Zeus-the ruler of the gods,所以选B

(12)

按照上下文,此处表示Zeus为Persephone的去留问题设制了一个条件:当她在underworld(阴间,地下)时,如果不吃任何东西,她就可以回到她母亲身边,所以选A。

(13)

根据上题的分析选C,另外下文14空后的一句“eaten the seeds”中有提示。

(14)

根据上文Demeter很爱自己的女儿,她当然想让女儿回到身边,所以无论Zeus提出什么条件她都会答应。故选D。

(15)

该处文意是:当Zeus了解到这一情况时,他同意Persephone跟她母亲在一起度过一年中的部分时间,Demeter(接受了条件)但是他又说由于她吃了些石榴籽,她必须在underworld(阴间,地下)也要度过一部分时间。于是就有了季节变化(so it happens季节变化就是这样出现的)

(16)

根据上题的分析选B。

(17)

全文就是在讲季节变化的来历,此处是点题之处。该句表示“季节变化就是这样出现的,当Persephone在阴间时,Demeter很难过,因此她就不让那里的庄稼生长。这就是为什么我们有了冬天,那时候任何plants都不生长。当Persephone回来时,Demeter很高兴,那时候是春天,植物又开始生长了。So it happens意为“季节变化就是这样发生的(出现的)”,它是形式主语,真正的主语是后面that引导的从句。

(18)

will表示愿意,符合文意。

(19)

全文是讲季节变化的原因(cause),所以why合适。

(20)

本文通过一个希腊神话,揭示主题句(文章首句)所述的内容:从古时候流传下来的一些神话传说,能解释一些自然现象。

I was doing some last-minute Christmas shopping in a toy store. A nicely dressed little girl was  36  the teddy bears(泰迪熊) beside her father  37 she saw a little boy walk in and stop in front of the Pokémon toys. His jacket was obviously too small. He had money in his hand.   38 , it looked no more than five dollars at most. He was with his father as well, and  39 picking up the Pokémon video games. Each time he showed one to his father, his father  40  his head, “No”.

Rather  41 , the boy gave up the video games and chose a book of stickers  42 . After they walked away, the little girl ran over to the Pokémon video games. She excitedly picked up one  43  on top of the others, and raced down toward the check-out. I picked up my purchases and  44 the girl and her father.

Then, much to the little girl’s  45 , the little boy and his father got in line  46 her and me. After the video was paid for and bagged, the little girl  47 it back to the cashier(收银员) and  48   something to her. The cashier smiled and put the  49 under the counter(柜台). I was putting things in my bag when the little boy came up to the cashier. The cashier said, “  50 , you’re my hundredth customer today, and you win a prize!” and she handed the boy the Pokémon game. The boy could only  51  in disbelief. It was, he said,   52 what he had wanted! The little girl and her father had been standing at the doorway, and I saw the biggest and  53 smile on that little girl I have ever seen in my life.

I suddenly understood that the world is not  54 into the strong who care and the  55 who are cared for. We must each in turn care and be cared.
