【分析】
本题为英语语法填空题,需结合短文语境和英语语法规则(时态、介词、连词、非谓语动词等)逐个填空。解题思路:先通读全文理解大意,再针对每个空格,分析句子结构、所需词性、固定搭配或语法要求,结合上下文确定正确答案。
【解析】
1. 主语People是复数,句子描述客观事实用一般现在时,故填动词原形celebrate;
2. 表示“在具体某一天”用介词On,位于句首首字母大写;
3. 前句“很多人买粽子”与后句“我家不需要”是转折关系,故填连词but;
4. 固定搭配be good at后接动名词,make的动名词形式为making;
5. 动词give后需接人称代词宾格作宾语,they的宾格是them;
6. 固定短语have a long history意为“有悠久的历史”,long以辅音音素开头,故填冠词a;
7. 修饰事物race(比赛)需用形容词exciting(令人兴奋的),excited多修饰人;
8. a lot of后接可数名词复数,thing的复数形式为things;
9. like在此处为介词,后接动名词,swim的动名词是swimming;
10. 固定搭配tell sb to do sth意为“告诉某人做某事”,故填to love。
【答案】
1. celebrate 2. On 3. but 4. making 5. them 6. a 7. exciting 8. things 9. swimming 10. to love
