26、 ancient tradition”，空处与“date”之间为所属关系，故用whose引导该从句。2longest考查形容词的最高级。根据语境和空前的“the”及空后的“most important”可知，此处表示最高级含义，故用形容词最高级。3officially考查副词。分析句子成分可知，此处应用副词修饰动词begin，在句子中作状语。4to sweep考查非谓语动词。根据语境并分析句子结构可知，此处是不定式作目的状语，故填to sweep。5is believed考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，此处是“sth.be believed to do sth.”句型，应用被
27、动形式；且此处为一般性描述，应用一般现在时；主语red为第三人称单数，故填is believed。6lanterns考查名词复数。lantern是可数名词，且其前无限定词，故用其复数形式。7considered考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，consider和其逻辑主语“the reunion dinner”之间构成动宾关系，故用过去分词形式。8A考查冠词。chicken是可数名词，第一次在文中出现，句子的谓语动词为单数形式，且whole的发音以辅音音素开头，故填不定冠词A。9with考查介词。be filled with .意为“充满”，为固定搭配，故填介词with。10amazing考查形容词。根据空前的“the”和空后的名词词组“fireworks shows”可知，此处应用形容词。故填amazing。tips 语法填空之提示词为动词(1)第一步：分析句子结构，确定句中是否缺少谓语。如果缺少谓语动词，则是考查动词的时态或语态。第二步：看主语与谓语之间是主动关系还是被动关系，以确定用主动语态还是被动语态，同时还要根据语境考虑用哪种时态，同时要注意主谓一致。例如上文第5题，句中缺少谓语动词，因此判定考查动词的时态或语态。根据上文时态可判定用一般现在时，主语与动词believe之间为被动关系，所以填is believed。
