【解析】本文是一篇说明文。它讲述了“哭婚”风俗。
【1】考查时态。根据a long time ago可知句子用一般过去时态,故答案为existed。
【2】考查比较状语从句。句意:尽管不像以前那么受欢迎---。not as/so---as---,---和---是不一样的,故答案为as。
【3】考查定语从句。句意:这个习俗在很多地方,特别是土家族的人,仍然被人们观察到,人们把它看作是婚姻程序的必要条件。此处pepole是先行词,后面的定语从句缺少引导词和主语,故答案为who。
【4】考查名词复数。根据different(不相同的),可知后面用名词复数形式。答案为places。
【5】考查冠词。句意:否则,新娘的邻居们会看不起她,因为她是一个受教育程度低的女孩,她会成为这个村子里的笑柄。此处表示特指,所以用定冠词the。
【6】考查副词。句意:否则,新娘的邻居们会看不起她,因为她是一个受教育程度低的女孩,她会成为这个村子里的笑柄。副词修饰过去分词,故答案为poorly。
【7】考查被动语态。句意:事实上,在一些情况下,新娘被她的母亲殴打,因为她没有在婚礼上哭泣。句子主语the bride,单数第三人称形式,与谓语动词beat之间是被动关系,所以此空用一般过去时态的被动语态,答案为was beaten。
【8】考查名词。句意:总而言之,在婚礼上哭泣是一种通过错误的悲伤话语来点燃快乐的方式。定冠词the用在名词前面,所以此空用名词形式,故答案为happiness。
【9】考查过去分词做前置定语。句意:然而,在中国古代的包办婚姻中,确实有相当多的新娘因为他们令人失望的婚姻,甚至是他们的不幸生活而哭泣。此空是过去分词做前置定语,答案为arranged。
【10】考查形容词。句意:然而,在中国古代的包办婚姻中,确实有相当多的新娘因为他们令人失望的婚姻,甚至是他们的不幸生活而哭泣。disappointing令人失望的,故答案为disappointing。
