【2】句意为：分析句子成分可知，本句为as…as句型，且根据音标，应填early，它是形容词，意思是"早"．故填early．

【3】句意为：从0到9的数字中，9是最大的奇数．分析句子成分可知，空格处为状语，修饰定语odd，故填副词．根据句意，此处应为"最高"之意，故填high的最高级highest．故填highest．

【4】句意为：这是中国人对长者表达爱与尊重的特殊节日．分析句子特点可知，空格处为复合不定式（for sb to do sth）的介词，故填介词for，意思是"对…来说"．其中for Chinese people to show love and respect for their elders是真正主语，而it只是形式主语．故填for．

【5】句意为：他们举办很多活动，表达对老人的敬意．分析句子成分可知，空格处为宾语，且被形容词many修饰，故填名词复数．kind作为名词，意思是"种类"，其复数为kinds．many kinds of很多种．故填kinds．
