【10】that

【解析】 本文介绍了龙抬头日的由来及意义。

【1】which

考查非限制性定语从句。分析句子Dragon Heads-raising Day, ___1___ falls each year…可知Dragon Heads-raising Day被定语从句___1___ falls each year …修饰，而Dragon Heads-raising Day（龙抬头日）是先行词，指物，在定语从句中作主语时要用which关系词。故填which。

【2】raising

考查现在分词作状语，分析句子可知，raise在句中作状语，它与主语The dragon是主动关系，故填raising。

【3】their

考查代词。分析句子可知，they在此修饰名词heads，修饰名词要用形容词，故用其形容词their。句意：在这一天，龙，一个中国文化的象征，随着一声春雷而抬起了头。

【4】is bursting

考查现在进行时。句意：在这个时候，地球上生命开始复苏，草和树木开始发芽。根据时间状语Around this time，正在这时，要用现在进行时，主语是the earth，是单数，故用is bursting。

【5】would pray/prayed

考查谓语动词。根据时间状语. In ancient China,，“在古代中国”，描述过去的事，而句意：在古代中国，人们会在河边或湖边祈祷龙神，让宝贵的春雨到来可以种庄稼。因此用一般过去时played或过去总是would played。

【6】Traditionally

考查副词做状语。句意：传统上，这一天吃的食物被都以龙的身体的一部分命名的。分析句子可知，Tradition是名词，而在本句中作状语修饰后面的句子，因此要用其副词形式Traditionally。

【7】foods

考查名词复数。句意：这一天通常吃特别的食物，包括龙鳞、爆米花和猪头等。分析句子可知食物有许多，所以food要用其复数形式foods。

【8】cut

考查固定搭配。句意：在山西，人们把理发当成一种象征，意为去掉旧的，拥抱新的。get sth done，为固定用法，表示“请别人做”、“某物被做”。而本句中的their hair 头发是请别人理的，是被理的。因此用get their hair cut，意为“理发”。故填cut。

【9】the

考查固定用法。句意：在河北省的乡村，人们在黎明时从井里打水。In the countryside，为固定搭配，“在农村”。故填the。

【10】that

考查主语从句。句意：人们相信，这一天，井里到处都是龙蛋，这会给捕捉者时带来丰收。分析句子可知，it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的on this day the well was full of dragon eggs which would bring the collectors good harvest.句子，分析句子可知，后面的从句中不缺少成分，因此要用that引导句子，故本空填that。
