【解析】

試題分析：該文講述了日本鬼節(jié)人們的過(guò)節(jié)方式。

【1】is held 考查語(yǔ)態(tài)。節(jié)日是被舉行，此處為一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。

【2】a 考查冠詞。a cheerful occasion令人高興的一刻。

【3】to return 考查動(dòng)詞非謂語(yǔ)形式。Sb/sth is said to do...據(jù)說(shuō)……。

【4】their 考查代詞。Find one’s way找到某人的路, 此處one’s 指代the dead’s，故填their。

【5】is thrown 考查語(yǔ)態(tài)。食物被扔進(jìn)河里，這里用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。

【6】unlucky 考查形容詞。為死人準(zhǔn)備的食物被扔進(jìn)河里或海里是因?yàn)楸徽J(rèn)為活著的人吃了這些食物是不幸的。故填unlucky。

【7】which/that 考查定語(yǔ)從句。修飾先行詞lanterns，定語(yǔ)從句用which/that引導(dǎo)。

【8】guiding 考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。guide在此作定語(yǔ)，修飾lanterns，表主動(dòng)意義，用動(dòng)詞的doing形式。

【9】moving 考查動(dòng)詞非謂語(yǔ)形式。修飾名詞spectacle，用現(xiàn)在分詞形式的形容詞。

【10】until/till 考查連詞。人們?cè)诎哆吙粗�這些燈籠漂向遠(yuǎn)方，直到看不見。用till/until連接時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句。
