【解析】

试题分析：本文介绍了中国的端午节的来历、庆祝的时间和方式。端午节吃粽子和赛龙舟的习俗和屈原有关系。

1.根据时间状语For thousands of years可知，本句用现在完成时的被动语态形式： has been marked。

2.楚国位于现在的湖南和湖北省。situate动词，使位于，使处于。用过去分词situated in做后置定语。故填situated。

3.他为人正直、 对国家忠诚和很受人敬重.但是，他却被免职了。这里表转折用However ，后面有逗号和其他分开了。故填However。

4.意识到楚国落入了邪恶的官员的手中，屈原就在阴历的月的第五天跳进了汨罗江。这里有动词的-ing形式做状语，表示和主语是逻辑上的主谓关系。故填Realizing。

5.附近的渔民冲过去救他，但没能救活。unable不能。故填unable。

但一年，曲的精神出现了，告诉送葬者在这条河的巨大爬行动物 （爬行动物） 偷了大米。故填unable。

6.6】____21___mourned Qu's death 是定语修饰前面的人people，所以用关系词who。

7.7】每年在他死的日子，人们都往河里扔稻米来喂养他的魂灵。故填every。

8.8】屈原的魂灵建议人们把米包起来在捆扎上在扔到河里。故填them指往河里扔稻米的人。

9.9】在扔到河里之前先包上捆扎。故填before。

10.10】赛龙舟象征着人们努力去救屈原的那些努力。这里用the表特指。

考点：语法填空。
