解析:

本文通常一個希臘神話說明了四季變化的由來。

36. B。根據文章最后幾句話可知,文章講的是季節(jié)(season)的更換。

37. B。Zeus是宇宙之神,是眾神的統(tǒng)治者。從下文可以看出,不僅Demeter和Hades之間的矛盾的需要Zeus的調解,而且他們的想法也要取得Zeus的同意。

38. A。根據上文的Hades…fell in love with Persephone 以及后文的…agree to the marriage 可知,Hades想娶Persephone為妻。

39. A。此處指的是Zeus既不會同意這樁婚事,也不會禁止。

40. D。根據下文可知,Hades是搶走Persephone,即沒有得到允許。

41. D。比較:find out查明真相;let out放開,放出;work out 算出;think out 想出。只有選項D最符合語境。

42. C。后文說Demeter 決定要讓所有植物停止生長,可見她很生氣(angry)。

43. C。根據第54空處的內容可知,此處指她使所有植物停止生長。

44. A。比較:in danger of 處于……的危險中;in the hope of 懷有……的希望;in turn 依次;in case of 以防萬一。根據后文的starving 可知,此題填空in danger of 最佳。

45. B。not...until 意為“直到……才”,此處指的是她要直到她女兒回來才讓植物生長。

46. B。根據其后的still not wanting to disappoint Hades可知答案。

47. A。此處指Persephone回到她母親身邊。

48. C。根據下文的Persephone had eaten several pomegranate seeds可知答案。

49. D。根據上下文的語境看,Demeter 接受了Zeus的條件。

50. A。此處指“發(fā)現”事情真相。

51. B。根據下文的she must spend part of the year in the underworld可知出此處應選with her mother。

52. C。句中的it 為形式主語,真正的主語是that 引導的主語從句。此處的意思是“……就這樣發(fā)生了”。

53. D。比較四個選項,只有will 最合語境。

54. C。That’s why… 的意思是“這就是為什么……”“這就是……的原因”。

55. D。當 Persephone 回來時,Demeter很高興,所以就是春天,植物開始生長。
