语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是Albuquerque国际嘉年华的相关信息。

解析：

36.设空前说“ButinAlbuquerque,NewMexico,thebeginningofOctoberbrings

youadifferentbutimpressivescene.（但在新墨西哥州的Albuquerque,十月初的景象

截然不同，但却令人印象深刻。）”，设空处应说十月初令人印象深刻的景象是什么，C选

项（满天的热气球会让你惊叹不已）说明了令人印象深刻的景象是满天的热气球。故选C。

37.设空前后谈论的对象都是国际嘉年华，故设空处也应该是介绍中国嘉年华的，B（现

在它已经成为一个为期9天的国际活动）承上启下，且选项中的it代替theAlbuquerque

InternationalFiesta。故选B。

38.设空处后提到“Thepark”，故设空处应该提到park,E选项（该活动在365英亩

的气球节公园举行），说明这个公园是嘉年华举行的地方，引起下文。故选E。

39.设空处前提至（J"TheBalloonFiestaclaimstobethemostphotographedevent

intheworld,andit'seasytounderstandwhy.（气球嘉年华称是世界上上镜最多的活

动，原因很容易理解。）”，G选项（所有气球的集体升空是这一周最美丽的一幕）解释了这

个活动是世界上上镜最多的活动的原因。故选G。

40.设空处前说“Intheageofjetsandhelicoptersandrockets,themass

celebrationofnearlysilentflightremindsusofthemagicofflying（在喷气机、

直升机和火箭的时代，这种近乎无声的飞行庆典提醒着我们飞行的魔力）”，D选项（这与

速度无关，而仅仅是到达天空）解释了这种飞行的魔力，且
