【解析】

本文主要介绍了圣诞节的圣诞树传统。

【1】句意：有许多的圣诞树传统。

根据上句和下文，可知都在讲述圣诞树的事情，而且名词修饰名词时，第一个名词不需用复数形式，故填tree。

【2】句意：家庭成员会聚在一起去林场上挑一棵他们最喜欢的树。

由下面的“so it’s fun to discuss this with family members and find the best one”可知，是和家庭成员一起去挑选的，而且will后跟动词原形，故填get

【3】句意：一些林场会为你坎倒这棵树。

根据第一句“Having a Christmas tree in your home is one of the best parts of Christmas”可知挑选出来的树是要带回家的，所以林场需要帮你砍坎倒，cut down坎倒，固定短语，故填down。

【4】句意：其他林场会让你自己砍树。

前面有some tree farms，而some…other…一些……另一些，固定搭配，故填other。

【5】句意：你把树带回家之后，就开始装饰它吧。

根据第一句“Having a Christmas tree in your home is one of the best parts of Christmas”可知，需要把砍下来的树带回家，故填home。

【6】句意：但是对于圣诞树也有一些争论：真树是否比假树更好。

根据后面的fake trees可知前面填写反义词，故填real。

【7】句意：他们不需要被浇水。

根据前面的fake trees假树，可知这些树是不需要浇水的，不必做某事，don’t need to do，故填need。

【8】句意：它们可以储藏而且重复利用很多年。

for后面加一段时间，由于是假树，所以可以使用很多年，而且前面是many，需要填写复数形式，故填years。

【9】句意：它们可以持续很久，但是如果把它们扔掉，会对环境有害。

根据前面“Fake trees are made out of plastic (塑料).”可知假树是塑料制成的，被扔掉的话对环境不好，be bad for对……有害，故填bad。

【10】句意：在一天的学习之后回到家，闻到松树发出的气味会很棒。

根据后面的scent气味可知，是动作“闻，嗅”，由于是it is adj. to do sth.需填动词原形，故填smell。

首字母填空需要根据上下文合理的推测。例如第9题，根据前文假树是塑料制成的，推断出扔掉假树对环境有害；例如第10题，根据scent可知填动作“闻”。
