The Dragon Boat Festival has a history of over 2,000 years. There are many tales about their origin. The most popular is that the festival is celebrated in honor of Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan was more concerned about his country but was not understanding by the rulers. Feeling desperately, he jumped into the Miluo River on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month, 278 BC. Before he died, the fishermen sailed their boats to look up for his body. People throw zongzi into the water, hoping to keep fish attacking his body. That’s because people later celebrate the festival through such activity as dragon boat racing and eating zongzi on that special day.

【解析】第一处:考察代词,端午节有2000多年的历史,关于端午节的起源有很多传说。根据句意可以得知讲述的是端午节,要用单数代词,故要将their改为its.
第二处:考察副词,屈原很关心自己的国家,但是不被统治阶层接纳、理解。本句没有比较关系,应该用副词原级修饰形容词,故要把more变为much.
第三处:考察时态语态,屈原很关心自己的国家,但是不被统治阶层接纳、理解。屈原和理解之间是被动关系,故要将understand改为understood。
第四处:考察形容词,屈原对国家感到绝望,他在阴历5月5日这天跳入了汨罗江,系动词feel后面加形容词,故要将desperately改为desperate.
第五处:考察逻辑连词,屈原死后,渔夫们划船去寻找他的尸体。根据常识得知,人死后才能寻找尸体。故要将Before改为After.
第六处:考察介词,渔夫们划船去寻找他的尸体。“寻找”look for something,故要将up去掉..
第七处:考察介词,人们往水中扔粽子,希望鱼儿能远离屈原的尸体。本文讲述的是传说,用一般过去时,故要将throw改为threw.
第八处:考察介词,人们往水中扔粽子,希望鱼儿能远离屈原的尸体。“保持某物或某人远离”keep somebody /something from doing,故要加from在fish后面.
第九处:考察关系词,这就是为什么后来人们通过赛龙舟吃粽子来纪念这个节日。根据句意得知是表示为什么大家通过这个方式来纪念端午节。,故要将because改为why.
第十处:考察名词单复数,后来人们通过赛龙舟、吃粽子这些活动来纪念这个节日。活动有很多,故要将activity改为activities.
