【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中国传统节日——元宵节。

1.句意：元宵来源于人们称农历正月为元月和夜晓的事实。根据下文“peoplecallthefirstlunarmonth

theYuanMonthandnightXiao”可知，这里是讲述事实，应用fact表示,结合后句and并列的两部分，

应用复数形式，故填⑴acis。

2.句意：正月十五的晚上意味着第一个满月的开始。根据卜.文“thebeginningofthefirstfullmoon”可

知，标志着第一个满月的开始。根据首字母m提示，可得单词mark,主语Thenightofthe15thday

ofthefirstlunarmonth为第三人称单数，动词用三单形式，故填(m)arks。

3.句意：在元宵节这天，中国人有赏灯笼、吃汤圆的习俗。根据上文“OntheLanternFestival”及常识

可知，在元宵节这天，中国人赏灯笼。根据首字母e提示，可得单词enjoy,且位于介词of之后，故

enjoy应用ing形式，故填(e)njoying。

4.句意：这一习俗始于汉代，至今已有两千多年的历史。根据上文“ThecustomstartedduringiheHan

Dynasty”可知，这一习俗至今已有两千多年的历史。根据首字母h提示，可得单词history,且位于a

之后，故history应用单数形式。故填(h)istory。

5.句意：夜幕降临，人们成群结队地来到五彩缤纷的灯海中。根据下文“peoplegoincrowdstothesea

ofcolorfilllanterns”可知,夜幕降临，才能看灯。根据首字母f提示,可得单词fall,根据语境可攵口,

此处应用一般现在时陈述事实，主语为night,故动词fall应用第三人称单数形式。故填⑴alls。

6.句意：宫灯、壁灯、人像灯、花灯、转马灯、动物灯、玩具灯，种类繁多，颜色各异。根据上文

''peoplegoincrowdstotheseaofcolorfullanterns”可知，元宵灯种类繁多，颜色各异。根据首字母c提

示，可得单词colour/color,空格前为all,应用复数形式。故填(c)olours/(c)olors。

7.句意：有些灯笼上有谜语，这鼓励人们努力成为第一个找到答案的人。根据上文“Somelanternshave

riddles(谜语)onthem”及常识互知，出谜语第一个猜出来的人会有奖励，所以是鼓励人们努力成为第

一个找到答案的人。根据首字母f提示，可得单词first,意为“第一个的”，符合句意，故填⑴irst。

8.句意：吃糯米梭也是传统习俗。根据上文“ThecustomstartedduringtheHanDynasty,andhasahistory

ofmorcthan2000years”可知，这里说的是另一个习俗，所以空格处应填意为“也''的单词。根据首字

母a提示,可得单词also,副词，意为“也”，符合句意,故填(a)lso。

9.句意：早在宋代，就有这样一种食物，一种用糯米粉做成的圆球，里面装满了糖和果仁。根据下

文“glutinousriceflourwithafillingofsugarandkernels”可知，此处指的是它的制作原料。根据首字母

m提示，可得单词make,根据语境可知，此处应用被动语态，故make应用过去分词。故填(m)ade。

10.句意：中国人民希望万事如意。根据下文“yuanmaninChinese”可知，圆满的意思就是万事如意。

根据首字母e提示，可得单词everything,意为“一切”,符合句意,故填(e)verything。
