Answer 1

【答案】

【1】has been marked

【2】situated

【3】However

【4】Realizing

【5】unable

【6】who

【7】every

【8】them

【9】before

【10】the

【解析】

试题分析：在本文中作者介绍了中国传统的赛龙舟。每当农历五月初五，人们都会举行赛龙舟比赛，包粽子比赛来纪念伟大的历史人物屈原。这种传统的由来是为了不让河里的鱼去吃投江自杀的屈原的尸体。

【1】has been marked。考查动词时态。由时间状语for thousands of years可知，句子谓语动词应用现在完成进行时，表示端午节一直以来都以吃粽子和赛龙珠的方式进行庆祝，而且将来也会如此，故填has been marked。

【2】situated。考查非谓语动词。表示某地方位于何地时，用be situated in /on, 句中“situated…”相当于定语从句，“which was situated…”。

【3】However考查副词。前后两句是转折关系，而空格前后都有标点，故填副词However。

【4】Realizing 考查非谓语。因逻辑主语Qu与realize是主动关系，故填Realizing。

【5】unable考查连词。由but可知，渔民未能救活他，故用able相反意思的unable。

【6】who考查关系代词。引导定语从句并在从句中作主语，先行词是The people of Chu，故填who。

【7】every考查不定代词。根据常识可知此处是指“每一”年。

【8】them考查人称代词。代替复数名词the mourners，而且在句中作宾语，故填them。

【9】before。考查连词。因“将它裹好、绑好”应是在“将粽子扔进河里”之前，才不会给河里的一种爬行动物偷吃，故填介词before。

【10】the 考查冠词。因many / little / few 等词在后面有定语从句或不定式等成分修饰时，其前面用the表特指，故该处填the。
