【36题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：众所周知，世界各地都在庆祝节日，节日的起源非常广泛，比如一年中的季节、宗教、著名人物和重要事件。句子描述的是客观事实，应用一般现在时，且主语festivals和celebrate之间是被动关系，应用一般现在时的被动语态，主语festivals是复数，be动词应用are。故填are celebrated。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：众所周知，世界各地都在庆祝节日，节日的起源非常广泛，比如一年中的季节、宗教、著名人物和重要事件。a wide range f为固定短语，意为“范围广泛的”，所以空处应用不定冠词a。故填a。
【38题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：众所周知，世界各地都在庆祝节日，节日的起源非常广泛，比如一年中的季节、宗教、著名人物和重要事件。句中figure意为“人物”，是可数名词，根据空前的famus可知，此处表示不止一个著名人物，空处应用figure的复数形式。故填figures。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意：在所有的传统节日中，丰收节几乎可以在每一种文化中找到。空处修饰名词festivals，应用形容词traditinal作定语，意为“传统的”。故填traditinal。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：人们庆祝这个节日是为了表达他们对一年食物供应的感激之情。人们庆祝这个节日的目的是表达他们对一年食物供应的感激之情，所以空处应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填t shw。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意：随着现代社会的发展和新思想的传播，一些传统可能会逐渐消失，而另一些传统可能会建立起来。根据空前的With the和空后的f可知，空处应用名词develpment作宾语，意为“发展”，是不可数名词，with the develpment f...意为“随着……的发展”。故填develpment。
【42题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：随着现代社会的发展和新思想的传播，一些传统可能会逐渐消失，而另一些传统可能会建立起来。fade away为固定短语，意为“逐渐消失”，所以空处应用副词away。故填away。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：节日变得越来越商业化，商家利用这些庆祝活动。此处是with的复合结构，businesses和take之间是主动关系，应用现在分词taking作宾语补足语。故填taking。
【44题详解】
考查状语从句。句意：如果你/当你仔细研究节日，你可能会惊讶地发现，不同的文化实际上有很多共同之处。空处引导条件状语从句或时间状语从句，意为“如果/当……时候”，可以用if引导条件状语从句，表示“如果”，也可以用when引导时间状语从句，表示“当……时候”。故填if/when。
