【分析】
本题为英语短文填空题,需结合语境、语法规则及固定搭配完成填空。解题思路:1. 分析每个空格的句子成分,确定所需词性;2. 结合所给词的形式变化(如形容词变名词、动词变分词、基数词变序数词等);3. 利用固定搭配、时态、主谓一致、连词用法等语法知识确定答案。
【解析】
1. 空格前为形容词Christmas,需接名词,所给词traditional是形容词,其名词形式为tradition,故填tradition。
2. 定冠词the后需接序数词表顺序,所给词one是基数词,序数词为first,故填first。
3. 此处指“家人成员”,member为可数名词,泛指多个成员需用复数,故填members。
4. 固定搭配spend time (in) doing sth(花费时间做某事),需将动词hang变为动名词形式hanging,故填hanging。
5. 空格后是名词lights,需用形容词修饰,所给词colour的形容词形式为colourful,故填colourful。
6. 此处为现在进行时(are + 现在分词),动词chat的现在分词为chatting,故填chatting。
7. 主语it是第三人称单数,一般现在时中谓语动词用三单形式,动词look的三单为looks,故填looks。
8. 前后句为因果关系(前果后因),需用连词because连接,故填because。
9. 固定搭配be made of(由…制成,能看出原料),符合语境,故填of。
10. 固定搭配a long day's work(漫长的一天工作),泛指需用不定冠词a,故填a。
【答案】
