【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国舞狮的起源、表演及其在国外的传播情况。

【1】

考查形容词。修饰名词folk dances，前用形容词形式。故填traditional。

【2】

考查时态和语态。句意：古代的人们把狮子视为勇敢和力量的象征。主语 The lion和regard之间是被动关系，且根据后面的ancient people可知，这是古代人们的看法，故该句要用一般过去时态。综上，故填was regarded。

【3】

考查代词。修饰名词livestock，用形容词性物主代词，意为“他们的牛、羊等家畜”。故用their。

【4】

考查副词。在这里用副词 especially“尤其，特别 ”，表示进一步强调。故填especially。

【5】

考查名词的数。句意：舞狮需要两名训练有素、身穿狮装的表演者。形容词highly-trained ，后接名词形式，根据前面数词two可知，用名词的复数形式。故填performers。

【6】

考查冠词。该段第一句中提到两个表演者，该空应特指两者中的另一个，构成one...the other...结构。故填the。

【7】

考查介词。句意：“狮子”随着鼓的节拍舞动。dance to the music/beat是习惯用法，意为“随着音乐或节奏跳舞”。to在此为介词，意为“跟着，伴随”。故填to。

【8】

考查定语从句。此处是“介词+关系代词”引导定语从句，句中先行词是green vegetables，指物，所以用关系代词which。故填which。

【9】

考查时态。根据语境和时间状语In the past decade可知，此处应用现在完成时。故填has spread。

【10】

考查非谓语动词。句意：中国人用舞狮或舞龙来庆祝每年的春节和其他重要活动。此处用不定式作目的状语。故填to celebrate。
