Answer 1

【小题1】 has been marked。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。

【小题1】 situated。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…”。

【小题1】 However。前后两句是转折关系，而空格前后都有标点，故应填副词However。

【小题1】 Realizing。因逻辑主语Qu与realize是主动关系，故应填Realizing。

【小题1】 unable。由but可知，渔民未能救活他，故用able相反意思的unable。

【小题1】 who。引导定语从句并在从句中作主语，先行词是The people of Chu，故应填who。

【小题1】 every。根据常识，是指“每一”年。

【小题1】 them。代替the mourners，在句中作宾语，故应填them。

【小题1】before。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，故应填介词before。

【小题1】 the。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。
