62、一种”kind被unique修饰且unique的首字母音素为辅音，所以用不定冠词a。故填a。37by句意：它是通过在一块白布上投射木偶的影子来完成的。by doing“通过做某事”。故填by。38are painted句意：皮制的木偶被涂成非常鲜艳的颜色，所以他们的影子是丰富多彩的。分析句子可知，句子为一般现在时，主语为The puppets，与谓语paint为被动。故填are painted。39colorful句意：所以他们的影子是丰富多彩的。be动词后接形容词作表语。故填colorful。40showing句意：当表演皮影戏时，表演者站在布料后面，在强光下移动木偶，木偶的影子落在布料上。
63、本句为省略句，还原后为：when they are showing。故填showing。41musicians句意：与此同时，演奏者或说或唱，与演奏鼓和其他乐器的音乐家一起讲述故事，如二胡、三弦、笙等。musician为可数名词。根据句意可知，用复数musicians。故填musicians。42It句意：皮影戏始于汉代。据说汉武帝很伤心，不想做任何事情，因为他最喜欢的妻子之一去世了。It is said that.“据说”其中It作形式主语。故填It。43To cheer句意：为了让他高兴，他的官员用皮革做了一个像皇帝死去的妻子一样的木偶。分析句子可知，动词不定式作目的状语。故填To che
64、er。44act句意：他移动它，让它在一块布后面做动作。make sb.do sth.“使某人做某事”。故填act。45popularly句意：此后，皮影戏在中国广为人知。popularly为副词修饰形容词known。故填popularly。.写作(共两节，满分40分)第一节应用文写作(满分15分)新西线无战事是一部反战电影经典力作，曾获奥斯卡最佳影片等大奖。请根据下列提示用英语写一篇影评。内容如下：片名：All Quiet on the Western Front导演：Delbert Mann主演：Richard Thomas主角：Paul Baumer剧情：以保罗为首的一批德国青年，在爱国
