D．success【语篇解读】本文是记叙文，主要介绍了与种族歧视作斗争的相关情况。31．B根据句意可知，ArianaMiyamoto参加了日本环球小姐选美比赛并最终获得第一名。故选B。32．D获得日本环球小姐选美比赛并最终获得第一名后，ArianaMiyamoto决定用她的这个名望来与种族歧视作斗争。故选D。33．A根据下文“It'spossiblethatsomeconservative(保守的)peoplemightfeelIdon't__40__thetraditionalJapaneseimagetorepresentthecountry”可知，因为很多保守的日本人认为ArianaMiyamoto是黑人，不能代表整个国家的形象，所以批评这个大赛的冠军不应该让一个黑人获得。但ArianaMiyamoto表示她已经为这些批评做好了准备。故选A。34．DArianaMiyamoto的目标是提高人们对种族歧视的意识。故选D。35．B因为获得了冠军，有了名望，所以ArianaMiyamoto用这个平台来传递信息，让人们重视种族歧视的问题。故选B。36．C因为许多批评家认为冠军应该给予纯种的日本人而不是混血儿，所以这些批评家在抱怨。故选C。37．A第二段中的“asthefirstblackMissUniverseJapan”说明了ArianaMiyamoto是黑色人种。故选A。38．B上面一句中的“shehashadtotoughenup”提示了答案。故选B。39．D由尽力不引人注目到现在的想到就说，ArianaMiyamoto想开始革新了。故选D。40．A因为ArianaMiyamoto是黑色人种，所以保守人士认为她不适合代表整个日本的传统形象。故选A。41．DArianaMiyamoto获得了选美大赛的冠军，这对于日本来说是一个引起全球注目的绝好机会。故选D。42．C根据上文内容可知，批评家认为ArianaMiyamoto是黑色人种，不应该成为选美大赛的冠军，因为在日本几乎没有黑人模特和电视名人。故选C。43．D尽管现在ArianaMiyamoto有很高的名声，但她暂时没有竞选政府官员的打算。故选D。44．A海绵是吸水的。故选A。45．B根据本段内容可知，ArianaMiyamoto暂时没有竞选政府官员的打算，所以她对政治没有深远的考虑。故选B。第四部分语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)Thereareallkindsoffestivalsthroughouttheworld.Festivalsareheld46.________(satisfy)andpleasetheancestors,tohonoursomefamouspeopleorimportant47________(event),andtoexpresspeople'sgratitudetotheGodforbringingthemayearofplenty.Forexample,inIndia,October2is48.________nationalfestivaltohonourMohandasGandhi,theleader49.________helpedgainIndia's50________(depend)fromBritain.51.________(tradition),inChinatheSpringFestival,which52.________(celebrate)inJanuaryorFebruary,isthemost53.________(energy)andimportantbecauseitisafestivalthatlooksforward54.________thecomingofspring.Whyareallthesefestivalseverywhere?Becauseduringthefestivals,peoplecangettogethertoeat,drinkandhavefunwitheachother,55.________(forget)allthedailystruggleanddemandsforawhile.【语篇解读】本文为说明文，主要介绍了全世界各国举办节日的目的，并举例说明。46．tosatisfy考查非谓语动词。根据下文的并列不定式短语tohonour…andtoexpress…可知，空处也应用不定式作目的状语，故填tosatisfy。47．events考查名词的数。event是可数名词，且空前有some限定，故填复数形式events。48．a考查冠词。festival是可数名词，此处表泛指，且national以辅音音素开头，故填不定冠
