【分析】
解题思路：先明确方框内单词/短语的含义，再结合每个空格的词性要求、语境逻辑，选择合适的词并转换为正确形式。步骤：1. 第1空修饰名词festival，需用形容词，将名词tradition变形；2. 第2空修饰动词comes，需用副词，将形容词usual变形；3. 第3空表位置，直接用介词短语；4. 第4空需谓语动词短语，结合主语复数匹配形式；5. 第5空many后接可数名词复数，将动词travel变形。
【解析】
1. 空格后是名词festival，需形容词修饰，tradition的形容词形式为traditional，故填traditional；
2. 空格修饰动词comes，需副词，usual的副词形式为usually，故填usually；
3. 此处表示火把放置的位置，in front of（在……前面）符合语境，故填in front of；
4. 主语streets为复数，需谓语动词短语，look like（看起来像）符合“街道像火龙”的语境，故填look like；
5. many后接可数名词复数，travel对应的名词“旅行者”是traveller，复数为travellers，故填travellers。
【答案】
1. traditional 2. usually 3. in front of 4. look like 5. travellers

八、句型转换（5分）
1. My parents are

What

your parents
doing
in the kitchen?
2. Alice celebrates Mother's Day
by making a big cake every year.（对画线部分提问）

the old lady.（对画线部分提问）
Who are

a bag of rice for?
答案：1. What are, doing 2. How does 3. They're dancing
4. Who are, carrying
解析：
【分析】
做这类句型转换题，需先明确题目要求（对划线部分提问/用now改写）：第一步确定划线部分的内容，选择对应疑问词（对动作用What、对方式用How、对人用Who）；第二步根据时态要求调整结构，注意主语单复数、助动词的使用（如第三人称单数一般现在时加does，动词变原形；now对应现在进行时，结构为be+doing）。
【解析】
1. 划线部分是动作“cooking”，用疑问词What提问；原句为现在进行时，结构是“be+doing”，将be动词are提前，后面用doing，故填What are, doing。
2. 划线部分是方式“by making a big cake”，用疑问词How提问；原句是一般现在时，主语Alice是第三人称单数，加助动词does，动词celebrate变回原形，故填How does。
3. 时间标志词now要求将一般现在时改为现在进行时，结构为“主语+be+doing”，主语是They，be动词用are，dance的现在分词是dancing，缩写为They're dancing，故填They're dancing。
4. 划线部分是人物“the old lady”，用疑问词Who提问；原句为现在进行时，将be动词are提前，后面用carrying，故填Who are, carrying。
【答案】
1. What are, doing 2. How does 3. They're dancing 4. Who are, carrying
