37、 本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了 NECC 的学生和一名老师利用假期部分时间去纽 约帮助灾后重建的事迹。 45.答案 to enjoy 解析 考查非谓语动词。此处是动词不定式表示目的。 46.答案 destroyed 解析 考查非谓语动词。 area 与 destroy 之间为被动关系， 故此处应用过去分词短语作 an area 的定语，故填 destroyed。 47.答案 what 解析 考查名词性从句。imagine 后面跟了一个宾语从句，宾语从句中 like 后缺少宾语，故填 what。 48.答案 powerful 解析 考查词性转换。修饰名词 effect，要用形容词。powerfu
38、l 表示“强有力的”。 49.答案 was hit/had been hit 解析 考查动词的时态和语态。此处作谓语且表被动，故用被动语态；结合全文可知，动作 发生在过去，故用一般过去时的被动语态。也可用过去完成时的被动语态，强调过去的动作 发生的先后顺序。 50.答案 entering 解析 考查非谓语动词。before 此处用作介词，后接动名词作宾语。 51.答案 lying 解析 考查非谓语动词。 此处作 see 的宾语补足语， 因为宾语和宾语补足语之间是主谓关系， 表主动，故填 lying。 52.答案 a 解析 考查冠词的用法。此处表示泛指。a sense of achievement 成就感。 53.答案 It 解析 考查 it 的用法。此处 it 作形式主语，真正的主语是 how.to recover。 54.答案 impression 解析 考查词性转换。冠词和形容词最高级后应接名词。impression 印象。
