32、很恰当的。As在这里表示“作为”。3officially考查副词。联合国正式确定普通话的节日是为了庆祝该语言的历史和对世界的贡献。这里用副词officially修饰形容词marked。4contributions考查名词的数。contribution作“贡献”讲时为可数名词，其前无限定词，故用contributions。5to celebrate考查非谓语动词。人们希望通过每年有一天庆祝普通话的活动能鼓励世界上更多的人学习普通话。本句考查了have some time to do .的句式，故填不定式to celebrate。6largest考查形容词最高级。句中的likely表示推测，再结合
33、语境及空前的the可知，这里用large的最高级。7falls考查时态。此处描述一般情况，故用一般现在时。fall on意为“(节日等)适逢(某日)”，又因主语为第三人称单数，故填falls。8involved考查形容词。get involved表示“参与，卷入”，其中get为连系动词，involved为形容词作get的表语，故填involved。9that/which考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词Confucius Institutes，空处在句中作主语，故填that/which。10the考查冠词。on the increase“在增长中”，是固定搭配，故填定冠词the。
