答案： 1. on [解析]句意:这个节日是在中国农历九月初九庆祝的。根据“the ninth day of the ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar every year”可知,农历的九月初九是具体的一天,应用时间介词 on。故填 on。
2. is known [解析]句意:这个节日也被称为重阳节。be known as 表示“被称为”,主语“The festival”为单数,be 动词用 is。故填 is known。
3. traditions [解析]句意:这个节日的主要传统之一是登山。one of+名词复数“……之一”, tradition 的复数为 traditions。故填 traditions。
4. and [解析]句意:传统上,这个节日也是喝菊花酒,吃重阳饼和戴茱萸的时候。根据“drink chrysanthemum wine”“eat Chongyang cakes”和“wear cornels”是并列关系可知,此处应用 and 连接。故填 and。
5. enjoying [解析]句意:然而,重阳节不仅仅是一个爬山和欣赏秋景的日子。and 表示并列,故此处与“climbing mountains”共同作 for 的宾语,因此 enjoy 要用动名词形式。故填 enjoying。
6. biggest [解析]句意:因为九是最大的个位数,而且它的发音与汉语中的“久”谐音,这个节日表达了人们对所有老年人健康长寿的愿望。空前有定冠词 the,此处应用 big 的最高级 biggest“最大的”。故填 biggest。
7. healthy [解析]句意:因为九是最大的个位数,而且它的发音与汉语中的“久”谐音,这个节日表达了人们对所有老年人健康长寿的愿望。修饰名词“life”应用 health 的形容词 healthy“健康的”。故填 healthy。
8. to care [解析]句意:因此,这一天也被视为照顾老人和表达感谢的机会。根据“So the day is also seen as a chance... for and express thanks to the elderly.”可知,这一天被视为照顾老人和表达感谢的机会,用不定式作定语,修饰名词“chance”。故填 to care。
9. their [解析]句意:人们也可以拜访他们的祖父母或年老的邻居,带礼物和分享食物。根据“grandparents”可知,此处是修饰名词,应用 they 的形容词性物主代词 their,意为“他们的”。故填 their。
10. importance [解析]句意:重阳节在中国传统文化中有着重要的意义。根据“The Double Ninth Festival is of great”可知,此处应用 important 的名词 importance;be of great importance“非常重要的”。故填 importance。
