16、”引导的让步状语从句，因空后为形容词，故填how。3考查动词的时态和语态。此处陈述的是客观事实，故应用一般现在时；主语是The harvest festival，为单数，且与celebrate之间为动宾关系，故应用被动语态。4考查代词。由语境可知，空处指代上文的The harvest festival，为单数，为避免上下文重复，故填it。5考查形容词。句中countries为名词，应用形容词修饰，故应用Europe的形容词形式European。6考查冠词。短语take.as an example意为“以为例”。7考查非谓语动词。此处表示为避免空气污染，中国很多大城市不再允许燃放鞭炮。空处在句中
17、作目的状语，故应用不定式。8考查非谓语动词。此处是“with宾语宾补”结构，由于作宾语的businesses与take之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故应用现在分词形式。9考查名词的数。句意：节日反映了人们的愿望、信仰、宗教和对生活的态度。attitude作“态度，看法”讲时，为可数名词，在此处与wishes，beliefs和faiths并列，故应用attitude的复数形式。10考查定语从句。这是一个含有定语从句的复合句。定语从句修饰的先行词为occasions，空处在定语从句中作主语，故应用关系代词that或which。.结合课文主题，使用本单元词汇与句型写一篇50词左右的短文1春节前妈妈总为我买
