64、e; Traditionally; until; is held; celebrations ; with; supported; collecting; is served; boiled解析：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国的传统节日春节,以及春节期间人们的活动。 形容词的最髙级前通常加定冠词the。空格后面有逗号且位于句首,分析句子结构可知,空格处是做状语修饰整个句子,所以填tradition的翻词形式 traditionally。注意首字母要大写。根据常识可知,中国的春节一直持续到正月十五,所以填介词 until。空格处是when引导的时间状语从句的谓语,此处说的是一种节日习俗,所以用

65、一般现在时; the lantern Festival与hold之间是被动关系,所以用一般现在时的被动语态。介词of之后接名词做宾语,Chinese New Year是定语,修饰空格处所填词, celebrate的名词形式是celebration, celebration作“庆祝活动”讲时是可数名词,这里要用复数形式。be decorated with是固定搭配,意为“装饰”。分析句子结构可知, where引导的非限制性定语从句的谓语是 weaves, _ by a team of dancers是定语,修饰a huge dragon,且两者之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词短语做后置定语。_ m

66、oney from houses on its route做伴随状语,且a huge dragon与 collect之间是主动关系,故填现在分词形式。and连接了两个简单句,说的是一种习俗,所以用一般现在时; yuanxiao和 serve之间是被动关系,所以用被动语态。 a sweet dumpling和boil之间是被动关系,所以用被动语态。第三部分 写作第一节答案：Dear editor, In recent years, people in most cities have been forbidden from lighting fireworks and crackers duri
