点拨:36题,E. mirror 在此处为名词,意为"写照;真实反映","Each tradition is a mirror of what a community truly believes in"是英语中常见比喻表达,指传统习俗能如镜子一般映照出一个社区的价值观与信念。A. conclude(动词)、B. value(动词)、C. achieve(动词)均无法充当表语名词;D. ancestors(祖先)语义与句意不符。
38题,C. achieve 意为"实现,达到","can connect... and achieve a sense of belonging"中,achieve 与抽象名词"a sense of belonging"构成地道搭配,表达"实现归属感",符合全文结论语境。
