【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国传统农历的一个节气——冬至。

【1】考查形容词。修饰名词Chinese lunar year前用形容词形式。故填traditional。

【2】考查形容词。句意：在冬至日的第一天，北半球经历一年中最短的一天。修饰名词day前用形容词，结合句意可知，用最高级形式。故填shortest。

【3】考查主谓一致。陈述客观事实，所以用一般现在时。主语The Winter Solstice为单数，所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填marks。

【4】考查介词。“在中国古代”用介词in。故填in。

【5】考查定语从句。句中先行词为day，在非限定性定语从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which引导。故填which。

【6】考查时态。根据句中时间状语during the Han Dynasty可知用一般过去时态。故填became。

【7】考查名词的数。根据句中的谓语动词were可知，主语用复数形式。故填Celebrations。

【8】考查冠词。短语have a rest休息。故填a。

【9】考查短语。短语such as比如。故填as。

【10】考查非谓语动词。句意：在以后的朝代，如唐、宋、清，冬至是祭天、祭祖的日子。此处用不定式作定语，修饰名词day。故填to offer。
