Answer 1

【小題1】has been marked。
【小題2】situated
【小題3】However
【小題4】Realizing
【小題5】unable
【小題6】who
【小題7】every
【小題8】them
【小題9】before
【小題10】the

解析試題分析：在本文中作者介紹了中國傳統(tǒng)的賽龍舟。每當農(nóng)歷五月初五，人們都會舉行賽龍舟比賽，包粽子比賽來紀念偉大的歷史人物屈原。這種傳統(tǒng)的由來是為了不讓河里的魚去吃投江自殺的屈原的尸體。
【小題1】has been marked。由時間狀語for thousands of years可知，句子謂語動詞應用現(xiàn)在完成進行時，表示端午節(jié)一直以來都以吃粽子和賽龍珠的方式進行慶祝，而且將來也會如此，故填has been marked。
【小題2】situated。表示某地方位于何地時，用be situated in /on, 句中“situated…”相當于定語從句，“which was situated…”。
【小題3】However。前后兩句是轉(zhuǎn)折關系，而空格前后都有標點，故填副詞However。
【小題4】Realizing。因邏輯主語Qu與realize是主動關系，故填Realizing。
【小題5】unable。由but可知，漁民未能救活他，故用able相反意思的unable。
【小題6】who。引導定語從句并在從句中作主語，先行詞是The people of Chu，故填who。
【小題7】every。根據(jù)常識可知此處是指“每一”年。
【小題8】them。代替復數(shù)名詞the mourners，而且在句中作賓語，故填them。
【小題9】before。因“將它裹好、綁好”應是在“將粽子扔進河里”之前，才不會給河里的一種爬行動物偷吃，故填介詞before。
【小題10】the。因many / little / few 等詞在后面有定語從句或不定式等成分修飾時，其前面用the表特指，故該處填the。
考點：考查語法填空
