【解析】【1】從第二句的語義看，雨能有助于莊稼健康地生長(zhǎng)。powerful“強(qiáng)大的”；wealthy“富有的”；necessary“必須的”；都不符合語義。

【2】way of living“生活方式”。

【3】urgent“緊急的；緊迫的”。正是由于問題變得緊迫了，所以才決定開會(huì)。

【4】根據(jù)下文可以看出他們召開這次集會(huì)的目的是為了求雨。

【5】ceremony“儀式”；contest“競(jìng)賽”；match“比賽”；celebration“慶祝會(huì)”。村民們聚集在一起的目的是為了求雨，所以他們要舉行“儀式”。

【6】根據(jù)“牧師”到前面判斷，此時(shí)應(yīng)是“在所有的人就座后”。

【7】make one's way to...“朝……走去”。此處指“牧師從人群中走向前面”。

【8】牧師到人們的前面宣布“開始”會(huì)議。

【9】人們難得聚在一起，所以都利用這個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)同朋友交談。

【10】reach“到達(dá)”；是及物動(dòng)詞。arrive后要加at；get和hurry后要加to。

【11】present是形容詞，意為“出席的；在場(chǎng)的”，作后置定語。

【12】根據(jù)語義判斷，此處表示“當(dāng)……的時(shí)候”，while句子中的謂語動(dòng)詞不能是非延續(xù)動(dòng)詞。

【13】由于牧師已經(jīng)到了人們的前面，所以不能用walk。look through“瀏覽”；此處表示大體上看了一遍。see through“看透”。

【14】take notice of“注意到”。牧師看了一下人群，注意到一個(gè)小女孩坐在前排。

【15】with在此表示原因，此處意為“她的臉由于興奮而放著光芒”。

【16】根據(jù)前面的excitement和but判斷，此處應(yīng)用quietly, calmly表示心情平靜，與excitement不相符。

【17】大家聚集到一起是為了“求雨”，小女孩拿著傘“準(zhǔn)備著”下雨時(shí)用。

【18】realize意識(shí)到。牧師意識(shí)到小女孩所擁有的信念，也就是“會(huì)下雨的”，因?yàn)樗龓�來了傘�?/span>

【19】no one else“沒有別的人”，此處else修飾no one。

【20】Next to her, was a bright red umbrella處有提示。
