34、ition为可数名词，and连接两个并列结构，根据customs可知，tradition也要用复数形式。故填traditions。3考查非谓语动词。句意：我已经学会说几种语言了，包括英语。逻辑主语English与动词include之间是被动关系，应用过去分词形式。故填过去分词included。4考查定语从句。句意：我吃各种食物，庆祝与文化有关的不同节日。分析句子结构可知，设空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词holidays，且在从句中作主语。故填which/that。5考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意：然而，处于两种文化之间有很多弊端。全文主体时态为一般现在时，讲述的是一般事实，故本句也应用一般现在时
