【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了湖南农村的居民如何度过中国传统的春节庆祝活动。
（1）考查连词。句意：担心传统可能丢失，除非他们得到保护。故填unless” 除非“。
（2）考查非谓语动词。句意：春节庆祝活动从农历初一到第十五天。庆祝celebrate与主语（Spring Festival）在逻辑上是动宾关系，此处过去分词的形式做状语，故填celebrated 。
（3）考查形容词。句意：春节无疑是中国人一年中最重要的文化活动。形容词修饰名词，作定语，故填significant。
（4）考查非谓语动词。句意：每年的节日都要提前准备，食物起着关键作用。介词with+宾语+宾补，被修饰词food与play在逻辑上是主谓关系，应用现在分词作补语，故填playing。
（5）考查固定搭配。in advance固定短语，”提前“。句意：每年的节日都要提前准备。故填in。
（6）考查主谓一致。句意：向灶神祈祷，这样他就可以在第二天回到天堂写一份“年度报告”时对向他祈祷的家庭说些好话。the Kitchen God灶神是单数，用一般现在时的第三人称单数，故填returns 。
（7）考查名词。句意：这个节日是在春节前放吉祥的装饰品，放鞭炮，祭拜祖先和熬夜。本空作put up 的宾语，用名词的复数形式，指各种装饰品，故填decorations。
（8）考查定语从句。句意：一年中的前一天晚上是节日的高潮，正是那些在遥远的城市工作的人（比如我）急忙赶回家吃团圆饭的时候。这是一个选择性定语从句，修饰先行词是the night，在定语从句中作时间状语，故填关系副词when（＝at which）。
（9）考查非谓语动词。动词不定式表目的。目的是赶回家吃团圆饭，故填to catch。
（10）考查冠词。句意：鱼，中华文化中繁荣的一个象征，是必须的。此处修饰单数可数名词symbol prosperity，表示数量一，故填a。
