Question

【题目】Most Americans think of New Year as a single day on January lst. However, Chinese-Americans and people from other 【1】(culture) that use different calendars each have another celebration as well. A good example of this is the Chinese New Year celebration in San Francisco, which is similar to 【2】 we do in Shanghai.

The most famous part of Chinese New Year in San Francisco is the parade, which 【3】(watch) by over three million people every year. Over a hundred entries take part in the parade 【4】(march) through downtown and Chinatown. In the course of the parade, cheering from the crowd is mixed 【5】 music as local community groups wave banners, flags, and carry lanterns. Chinese themed floats will “float” by, including 【6】 long Golden Dragon float that 【7】(take) one hundred people to operate. Local kung fu schools will perform lion dances when firecrackers explode around their feet.

For many Americans, celebrating 【8】 (they) ancestral culture is as 【9】 (importance) as American culture, and they celebrate both. If you have a chance 【10】 (visit) the United States, you may have the chance to see some of the celebrations yourself.

【解析】本文主要叙述了中国的一些传统节日在美国的庆祝方式，简单介绍了春节在旧金山的庆祝方式。

【1】“other ___1___ (culture) that use different calendars each have another celebration as well.”，other常常修饰复数名词，而且其他文化不只一种。故填cultures。

【2】“A good example of this is the Chinese New Year celebration in San Francisco, which is similar to ___2___ we do in Shanghai.”，此处用what作do的宾语，表示“……的事物”，故填what。

【3】“The most famous part of Chinese New Year in San Francisco is the parade, which ___3___ (watch) by over three million people every year.”，the parade和watch之间是被动关系，通篇时态为一般现在时，故填is watched。

【4】“Over a hundred entries take part in the parade ___4___ (march) through downtown and Chinatown.”，parade与march是主动关系，故这里用动词的-ing形式作parade的后置定语，故填marching。

【5】考查固定短语。be mixed with“混合”，文中指欢呼声和歌声混合，故填with。

【6】考查冠词的用法。“ including ___6___ long Golden Dragon float that ___7___ (take) one hundred people to operate.”，long前的冠词应为a。故填a。

【7】“including ___6___ long Golden Dragon float that ___7___ (take) one hundred people to operate.”，a long Golden Dragon float 是主语，为单数名词，所以谓语take应该用单数形式。故填takes。

【8】“For many Americans, celebrating ___8___ (they) ancestral culture is as ___9___ (importance) as American culture, ”，ancestral culture为名词，故要使用they的形容词性物主代词their来修饰名词，表示“他们祖先的文化”，故填their。

【9】“For many Americans, celebrating ___8___ (they) ancestral culture is as ___9___ (importance) as American culture, ”，此处缺少is的表语，故要用importance的形容词形式。故填important。

【10】考查have的用法。“If you have a chance ___10___ (visit) the United States, you may have the chance to see some of the celebrations yourself.”，have a chance to do sth.有机会做某事。故填to visit。
