试题分析：本文介绍了云南西双版纳傣族的节日“泼水节”。
【1】the 考查冠词。特指西双版纳首府景洪，填the。
【2】chances 考查固定句式。固定句式chances are that...，表示“很有可能”，填chances。
【3】largest 考查形容词。句意：“孤独的星球”，世界上最大的旅游品牌之一。根据前面one of the world’s判断，这里用形容词最高级，填largest。
【4】in 考查介词。此处是表示看得见的人，用in sight，填in。
【5】Traditionally 副词修饰整个句子，故填Traditionally。
【6】to ensure 固定形式：a way to do sth.做某事的方法。动词不定式作定语，故填to ensure。
【7】plays 句意：尽管水在庆祝会上扮演重要角色，但是对节日来说还有更重要的。根据上下文可知，本文用的是一般现在时态，故填plays。
【8】when 在这里the first two days作先行词，后面是定语从句，先行词在定语从句中作时间状语，故填when。
【9】are dressed 固定词组：be dressed in，意为“穿着……”。再根据上下文可知，本文用的是一般现在时态，故填are dressed。
【10】known 固定词组：be known as，意为“作为……而著名”。在此处过去分词作后置定语，故填known。

1.be well-known for因……而著名；be known as作为……而著名；be known to为……所熟知。
2.the way to do sth.做某事的方法；the first/last ... to do sth.第一个或最后一个做某事的……。此处是动词不定式作后置定语。This is the only way to learn Engliah well.这是唯一学好英语的方法；He is the last person to leave our office.他是离开我们办公室的最后一个人。
