答案： 语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国人在春节喜欢送的几种花和水果的寓意。主题语境属于“人与社会”范畴中“历史、社会与文化”这一主题群，涉及子主题“世界主要国家的文化习俗与文化景观、节假日与庆祝活动”。
1.marks 考查动词的时态。由整篇文章可知使用一般现在时，此句的主语为it，谓语动词应为第三人称单数形式，故填marks。
2.to 考查介词。此处表示“相互赠送花卉和水果”，give sth. to sb.是固定搭配，故填to。
3.meanings 考查名词复数。meaning是可数名词，根据空前的many可知要用复数形式，故填meanings。
4.to represent 考查非谓语动词。sb./sth. be believed to do sth.是固定搭配，意为“某人/某事物被认为……”。故填to represent。
5.lucky 考查名词转化为形容词。根据空后的successful and happy可知，空处应该将luck变为形容词lucky，表示“幸运的”，故填lucky。
6.are given 考查被动语态。该空在句中作谓语，主语Red peonies与give构成被动关系，且时态为一般现在时，故填are given。
7.richness 考查形容词转化为名词。根据空前的a symbol of wealth and可知此处要用rich的名词形式，故填richness。
8.their 考查代词。根据句意及空后的名词短语golden color可知，此处应用形容词性物主代词，表示“他们的”。故填their。
9.and 考查连词。空前的bright colors与空后的round shape为并列关系，此处要用and连接两个并列成分，故填and。
10.Certainly 考查形容词转化为副词。空处修饰整句话，应用副词，且放在句首，首字母应大写，故填Certainly。
