21、around the world on the evening before November 1(他们认为，世界各地的巫婆、恶魔和死去的人的灵魂徘徊于 11 月 1 日的前一天晚上)”，可知“他们”(They)这个指代词需在前句有所指代，因此答案选 B。2 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 空格位于段末处，根据空格前“They lit bonfires(篝火)to scare them away and theytried to confuse these demons by wearing the same clothes that they did( 他们点燃了篝火吓跑恶魔，他们穿着与这些恶
22、魔同样的衣服试图迷惑这些恶魔)”可知，选项 A 最符合逻辑。3 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 根据空格前“It was celebrated on November 1 and the evening before became known asAll HallowsEve(在 11 月 1 日前一天晚上的庆祝被称为万圣节前夜)”以及空格后“Later onAll HallowsEve was shortened to Halloween( 后来万圣节前夜被缩写为 Halloween)”。中间解释“Hallow” 的意思，选项 C 最符合逻辑。4 【正确答案】 F【试题解析】 根据空格后的内容
23、，不给糖或别的东西就捣蛋的万圣节前夕的庆祝方式主要由孩子们来进行，可知选项 F 最符合逻辑。5 【正确答案】 E【试题解析】 根据空格前“The jack 一 o-lantern is closely connected with Halloween( 万圣节前夕和南瓜灯笼是紧密联系在一起的)”以及空格后“Most of them have a candle or some other light inthem(他们中的大多数都在其中点一支蜡烛或放进其他的灯)”，得知选项 E 最符合逻辑。二、填词补文6 【正确答案】 D【试题解析】 此处需要填一个可数名词单数。纵观备选单词，名词有三个，ide
24、as是复数，happiness 是抽象名词，都不能与冠词 a 搭配，那么名词只剩下ruler，ruler 的意思是“统治者”；此外 ruler 指的就是国王(King Jigme Singye Wangchuck)。此句意思是：“一个名叫吉格梅辛格 旺楚克的新统治者决定帮助不丹成为一个现代又不失其传统的国家”，因此此处应选 D。7 【正确答案】 K【试题解析】 根据固定用法 help sbto do sth判断此处需要填一个动词原形，备选单词中动词原形只有 become 和 continue。continue 的意思是“继续”，其常见用法是 continue to do sth，后面不能接形容
25、词，此句后面是形容词 modern，故排除；become 属于系动词，后面要接形容词作表语，因此从语法的角度判断此题选 K。8 【正确答案】 A【试题解析】 介词后面跟名词、代词或动名词。备选单词中没有代词，两个动名词 making 和 getting 后面要接宾语，此处后面没有宾语，故排除；只有从名词中查找，ruler 已用过，happiness 放在此处不符合原文意思，因此 ideas 为正确答案。此句意思是：“吉格梅辛格旺楚克从其他国家那儿寻求想法”，因此此题应选 A。9 【正确答案】 B【试题解析】 此处需要填动词的现在分词形式，备选单词中只有两个现在分词：making 和 getti
26、ng，getting 和 progress 搭配不当，故排除； make progress 的意思是“取得进步”，符合句意，因此选 B。10 【正确答案】 F【试题解析】 此处需要填一个形容词作定语修饰后面的名词，备选单词中有两个形容词：traditional 的意思是“传统的”，different 的意思是“不同的”。两个词相比较，different 符合上下文语境和此句句意，因此此题应选 F。11 【正确答案】 C【试题解析】 此处应填一个名词作为动词 create 的宾语。备选单词中的三个名词ideas 和 ruler 均用过，故排除，只剩 happiness 了。另外，此句下面几句提到
27、happy，文章题目也是 gross national happiness(国民幸福总值) ，所以此处应是create happiness(创造幸福)，因此此题应选 C。12 【正确答案】 G【试题解析】 此处需要填一个形容词作定语修饰后面的名词，备选单词中的两个形容词 different 前面已用过，只剩下 traditional；此外，文章第一段已提到过 “不丹不想失去其传统”，已出现过 tradition 这个单词，根据文章前后一致原则，此处选 traditional 非常适合句意，因此此题应选 G。13 【正确答案】 L【试题解析】 此句 and 连接的前后两部分应该是并列成分，前面
28、healthier 是比较级，因此后面也需要用形容词或副词的比较级，备选单词有两个比较级：longer和 shorter，根据上下文意思，很明显 longer 为正确答案，shorter 与原文意思根本不符，只是个干扰项，因此此题应选 L。14 【正确答案】 I【试题解析】 此句缺少谓语，需要填一个动词，而且是要与动词不定式 to 搭配的动词，备选单词中的两个动词 become 已用过，只剩下 continue，continue to do sth属于固定用法，意思是“继续做某事”，符合句意，因此此题应选 I。15 【正确答案】 J【试题解析】 此处需要填一个副词修饰后面整个句子，逗号隔开的前
29、面一般都填副词。备选单词中只有 finally 一个副词；此外，这是文章最后一句，作者也在这里得出总结，用 finally 非常恰当，因此此题选 J。三、完形补文16 【正确答案】 fascinated【试题解析】 分析本句句法发现，本句空白处是谓语的一部分，另外根据短语 be fascinatedwith sth(对某事入迷，着迷)，将提示词名词 fascination 的动词fascinate 加上一 ed 即可。17 【正确答案】 hopeful【试题解析】 本句空白处放在名词 dream 前面以及不定冠词 a 后面，提示需填入形容词来修饰 dream。因此，把提示词名词 hope 加上
30、后缀一 ful 改成 hopeful 即可。18 【正确答案】 evidence【试题解析】 分析本句句法结构发现，本句空白处实际上是整个句子的宾语，因此将提示词形容词 evident 改成名词 evidence 填入句中符合句意。19 【正确答案】 closely【试题解析】 本句主谓结构完整，空白处放在副词 very 的后面。分析本句句法发现，空白处所在的句子是修饰限定 one place 的定语从句，因此将形容词 close加上后缀一 ly 改成 closely 来修饰动词 study 符合句意。20 【正确答案】 giving【试题解析】 本句主谓结构完整，分析句法结构可发现，空白处连
31、同空后一起用来修饰名词短语 rocky core，rocky core 和动词短语 give off 是主动关系，把提示词动词 give 改成现在分词 giving，即 giving off volcanic heat 来修饰 rocky core。21 【正确答案】 needed【试题解析】 本句主谓结构完整，分析句法结构可发现，空白处连同空后一起用来修饰名词 conditions，condition 在句子中和 need 的关系应属被动，即形成生命所需要的基本条件，因此，把提示词动词 need 改成过去分词 needed 符合句意。22 【正确答案】 wonder【试题解析】 本句空白处放
32、在情态动词 may 后面提示谓语结构不完整，因此需将提示词 wonderful 改成动词 wonder 填入空白处。23 【正确答案】 essential【试题解析】 本句空白处放在 be 动词之后提示需填入形容词，因此把提示词副词 essentially 改成形容词 essential 即可。24 【正确答案】 automatically【试题解析】 本句主谓结构完整，因此本句空白处需要填入修饰性词汇。本空放在动词短语 rule out 前面，因此需将形容词 automatic 改成副词 automatically 来修饰动词短语。25 【正确答案】 forming【试题解析】 本句空白处放
33、在名词 life 后面，另外观察整句可以发现，life 连同空白处一起作谓语 rule out 的宾语，因此，把提示词动词 form 改成动名词forming 即可，意为生命的形成。四、短文写作26 【正确答案】 Fast Food Consumed by Teenagers in AustraliaThe line graph illustrates the amount of fast food consumed by teenagers in Australia between 1975 and 2000, a period of 25 years. Overall, the consu

Pizza consumption increased gradually until
36、it overtook the consumption of fish and chips in 1990. It then leveled off from 1995 to 2000. The biggest rise was seen in hamburgers, increasing sharply throughout the 1970 s and 1980 s, exceeding fish and chips consumption in 1985.
