答案： 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“打树花”表演，这是一项需要非凡勇气、技巧和力量的表演。自2021年起，它被列为中国非物质文化遗产。
1.throws 句意为：气温约为零下15摄氏度，一个头戴草帽、身穿羊皮大衣的男子将一勺又一勺的沉重铁水泼向一堵巨大的冰墙。根据空前的It's和后文中的creates可知，此处应该使用一般现在时，主语a man为第三人称单数，故填throws。
2.falling 句意为：1,600℃的液态金属和冻结的砖块之间的碰撞产生了火花“瀑布”，“瀑布”落在他身上，美丽而又危险。此处作后置定语，修饰a waterfall of sparks，应用非谓语动词，a waterfall of sparks和fall之间是逻辑上的主动关系，用现在分词。故填falling。
3.which/that 句意为：这是一项需要非凡勇气、技巧和力量的表演。设空处引导限制性定语从句，先行词为performance，指物，关系词在定语从句中作主语，应用关系代词which/that引导该从句。
4.an 句意为：打树花的字面意思是“击打树上的花”，这是一种通过击打果树以促进开花的农业做法。此处表示“一种农业做法”，应用不定冠词修饰，且agricultural的发音以元音音素开头。故填an。
5.widely 句意为：在古代，烟花并不总是普遍负担得起的。此处要用副词来修饰形容词affordable。故填widely。
6.to celebrate 句意为：因此，暖泉镇的人利用废铁，发展了打树花作为庆祝节日的一种方式。a way to do sth为固定短语，意为“做某事的方法”，此处为不定式作后置定语。故填to celebrate。
7.to 句意为：因此，他们把烟花表演提升到了一个全新的水平。bring sth to为固定搭配，意为“使某物处于（某种状况）”。故填to。
8.bans 句意为：如今，由于中国部分地区禁止燃放烟花以减少空气污染，打树花比以往任何时候都更受欢迎。设空处作短语介词due to的宾语，且空后为介词on，ban on为固定搭配，意为“关于……的禁令”，结合空后的in some parts of China可知，此处应用名词复数形式。故填bans。
避雷：ban既可作名词也可作动词，此题容易把ban看作动词而误填成banning。ban作动词为及物动词，后面直接加宾语，但是此处ban后有介词on，据此可判断ban为名词。
9.and 句意为：每年，尽管天气非常寒冷，这个独特的烟花表演仍吸引了许多人，并引起了人们对其保护的关注。空前的attracts tons of people与空后的draws attention to its protection为并列关系。故填and。
10.has been listed 句意为：自2021年起，它被列为中国非物质文化遗产。设空处在句中作谓语，根据时间状语Since 2021可知，此处应用现在完成时；句子主语it指代Dashuhua，和动词list之间是被动关系，故用现在完成时的被动语态，主语为it，助动词用has。故填has been listed。
