The Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar. For thousands of years, the festival _【小题1】     (mark) by eating zong zi and racing dragon boats in honour of Qu Yuan, who is said to have mitted suicide(自杀) by drowning himself.
Qu was a minister of the State of Chu     【小题2】     (situate) in the present-day Hunan and Hubei provinces, during the Warring States Period（战国时期）. He was upright, loyal and highly respected.     【小题3】    , he was dismissed from office.     【小题4】     (realize) that the country was in the hands of evil officials, Qu leapt into River Miluo on the fifth day of the fifth month. Nearby fishermen rushed over to save him but were     【小题5】     (able) to recover his body.
The people of Chu     【小题6】     mourned Qu’s death threw rice into the river to feed his ghost     【小题7】     year on the day of his death. But one year, the spirit of Qu appeared and told the mourners that a huge reptile（爬行动物）in the river had stolen the rice. The spirit then advised     【小题8】     to wrap the rice and bind it _【小题9】     throwing it into the river.
During the Duanwu Festival, zong zi is eaten to symbolize（象征，表示） the rice offerings to Qu. And the dragon-boat races symbolize     【小题10】     many attempts to rescue and recover Qu's body.
【小题1】 has been marked。由时间状语for thousands of years可知，句子谓语动词应用现在完成进行时，表示端午节一直以来都以吃粽子和赛龙珠的方式进行庆祝，而且将来也会如此，故填has been marked。
【小题1】 situated。表示某地方位于何地时，用be situated in /on, 句中“situated…”相当于定语从句，“which was situated…”。
【小题1】 However。前后两句是转折关系，而空格前后都有标点，故应填副词However。
【小题1】 Realizing。因逻辑主语Qu与realize是主动关系，故应填Realizing。
【小题1】 unable。由but可知，渔民未能救活他，故用able相反意思的unable。
【小题1】 who。引导定语从句并在从句中作主语，先行词是The people of Chu，故应填who。
【小题1】 every。根据常识，是指“每一”年。
【小题1】 them。代替the mourners，在句中作宾语，故应填them。
【小题1】before。因“将它裹好、绑好”应是在“将粽子扔进河里”之前，才不会给河里的一种爬行动物偷吃，故应填介词before。
【小题1】 the。因many / little / few 等词在后面有定语从句或不定式等成分修饰时，其前面用the表特指，故该处填the。
