The Spring Equinox marks the point when day and n2 equally divide the whole day. After this day, daytime will last l3 than night. Therefore, it is not only important in China, but also in many other c4 around the world. Spring Equinox Day is a public holiday in Japan. In Iran(伊朗), it is called “Nowruz”, which is also known as the Iranian New Year.

Spring Equinox is the best time for going o5, admiring flowers and flying kites in China. There are also rituals (仪式) that have been kept over centuries, such as balancing e6.

【解析】

文章主要介绍了二十四节气中的春分以及诸如立鸡蛋等相关的习俗。

1

句意:这意味着春天最热闹的日子已经到来。

分析句子成分可知,这里缺少一个动词;结合常识和下文人们进行的户外活动可知,春分意味着春天里最热闹的日子来到了,结合首字母m的提示可知,这里用动词“意味着”mean,结合时态用一般现在时,主语it是第三人称单数,所以mean要用其第三人称单数的形式,故填means

2

句意:春分标志着昼夜平分全天的时刻。

根据下一句可知在春分这一天,白天和夜晚的时间一样长,结合首字母n的提示可知,这里用名词“夜晚”night,空前day用的是单数,为了形式一致,所以这里night也用单数,故填night

3

句意:从这一天以后,白天将比夜晚长。

根据下一段可知因为春分后,白天比夜晚更长了,所以人们都会外出开展户外活动;结合首字母l的提示和空后than可知,此处用形容词“长的”long的比较级,故填longer

4

句意:因此,它不仅在中国很重要,在世界上许多国家也很重要。

根据下文提及在日本和伊朗,春分甚至是节假日可知,春分在世界上的其他国家也很重要;结合首字母c的提示可知,这里用名词“国家”country,空前有many修饰,所以country用其复数的形式,故填countries

5

句意:在中国,春分是外出赏花、放风筝的最佳时间。

根据句意可知,赏花、放风筝都属于户外活动,所以春分是人们外出的最佳时间;结合首字母o的提示可知,这里可以用副词“在室外”out或者outside,故填out/outside

6

句意:还有一些习俗延续了几个世纪,比如立鸡蛋。

根据下文对立鸡蛋风俗的解释和首字母e的提示可知,这里用名词“鸡蛋”egg,因为egg是可数名词,所以这里用其复数的形式,故填eggs

7

句意:通常保持一个鸡蛋平衡是很困难的,因为蛋黄偏离中心。

分析句子成分可知,这里缺少一个形容词。根据句意和空后“because the yolk (蛋黄) is off-center”可知因为蛋黄偏离中心,所以立鸡蛋很难;结合首字母d的提示可知,这里用形容词“困难的”difficult,故填difficult

8

句意:但在春分这一天,人们相信有一些特殊的引力可以帮助(立鸡蛋)。

分析句子成分可知,这里缺少一个动词。根据人们对春分这一天的理解,人们觉得在这一天有引力能帮助把鸡蛋立起来;结合首字母h的提示可知,这里用动词“帮助”help,空前有情态动词can,所以help用原形,故填help

9

句意:你所需要的就是足够的耐心或大量的练习。

分析句子成分可知,这里缺少一个名词。根据上一句“If you focus long enough, you can actually balance an egg on its end any day of the year.”可知如果专注时间够长,一年中的任何一天都可以把鸡蛋立起来;结合首字母p的提示可知,这里可以用名词“耐心”或者“练习”,故填patience/practice

10

句意:在一些地方,人们把鸡蛋涂成多种颜色,并举行立鸡蛋比赛。

分析句子成分可知,这里缺少一个动词。根据空后many colors可知,人们还会把鸡蛋涂成许多颜色;结合首字母p的提示可知,这里用动词“给……涂上”paint,结合时态一般现在时,主语people是复数,所以paint用原形,故填paint
