試題分析：短文大意：作者在這封信中主要介紹了中國的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日——端午節(jié)。其中重點介紹了端午節(jié)的由來和端午節(jié)期間的活動。

1.聯(lián)系后一句描述,可知此處指的是中國端午節(jié)的日期,故填專有名詞June,六月.

2.英語形容詞最高前必須加定冠詞the,表示特指,故填定冠詞the,特指某一個.

3.聯(lián)系上下文,可知此處指的是人們劃船去救他.本句中to是不定式符號,后面接原形動詞,結(jié)合語境可知填原形動詞save.救.

4.聯(lián)系上下文描述,可知此處指的是人們往江里面扔米飯來組織魚類吃屈原的尸體.結(jié)合語境可知填river/water,河,江/水。

5.聯(lián)系下文描述，可知此處指的是從那時起。結(jié)合語境可知填介詞From從。

6.聯(lián)系下文描述，可知此處指的是吃粽子。Enjoy后常接動名詞作賓語，表示喜歡做某事。結(jié)合語境可知填動名詞eating/having吃，作賓語。

7.聯(lián)系下文描述，可知此處指的是在過去我們一年只吃一次粽子。結(jié)合語境可知填副詞once一次。

8.聯(lián)系下文描述，可知此處指的是，你曾經(jīng)在電視上看見過龍舟嗎？結(jié)合語境可知本句描述的是現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)完成的動作，故用現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài)。結(jié)合語境可知填過去分詞watched/seen觀看/看見。

9.聯(lián)系后一句描述，可知幾個隊以盡可能快的速度劃船。結(jié)合語境可知填副詞fast快速地，做狀語。

10.聯(lián)系前文條件從句，可知此處指的是，你喜歡和我們一起過這個節(jié)日嗎？結(jié)合語境可知填人稱代詞you，你。

考點：短文填空。
