本题为英语综合填空题,需结合语境、词性变化、固定搭配、时态及逻辑关系完成填空。解题思路:先通读全文把握主题(圣诞节与圣诞树的相关内容),再逐个分析空格:1. 需名词作Christmas的定语;2. 需序数词与the搭配;3. 需符合固定句型结构;4. 需遵循固定动词搭配;5. 需形容词修饰名词;6. 需根据时间状语判断时态;7. 需主谓一致;8. 需逻辑连词连接因果;9. 需固定介词搭配;10. 需冠词修饰可数名词单数。
【解析】
1. 考查词性转换:Christmas后需名词,形容词traditional的名词形式为tradition,故填tradition;
2. 考查序数词:定冠词the后接序数词,one的序数词为first,故填first;
3. 考查固定句型:it's time to do sth为固定句型,意为“到做某事的时间了”,故填to decorate;
4. 考查固定搭配:spend time (in) doing sth为固定搭配,意为“花费时间做某事”,故填hanging;
5. 考查词性转换:修饰名词lights需形容词,名词colour的形容词形式为colourful,故填colourful;
6. 考查时态:when引导的时间状语从句用一般现在时,主句描述正在进行的动作,用现在进行时,主语all the families为复数,故填are chatting;
7. 考查主谓一致:主语it为第三人称单数,一般现在时中动词用第三人称单数形式,故填looks;
8. 考查连词:前后句为因果关系,前果后因,用连词because,故填because;
9. 考查固定搭配:be made of为固定搭配,意为“由……制成(能看出原材料)”,故填of;
10. 考查冠词:a long day表示“漫长的一天”,泛指用不定冠词a,故填a。
