【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述的是寒食节，作为中国的传统节日，它的起源，以及节日习俗。

1.考查形容词。因为第一空前面有a, 后面有Chinese holiday，可知中间是需要一个形容词去修饰后面的名词holiday的，所以这空需要填形容词。tradition变形容词为traditional。故填traditional。

2.考查代词。本题Legend作主语，has作谓语动词。那在这空上需要填宾语。此空没有提示词，所以只有介词，冠词，连词和代词。而只有代词可以作宾语，所以这空填写代词。而后面的that引导的从句可知，这里只是需要形式宾语。故填it。

3.考查名词。from是介词，介词后面加宾语。宾语可以用名词和代词，在这空有提示词。所以填名词。starve改名词为starvation。故填starvation。

4.考查固定短语。根据句意：公爵想让介子推担任他的大臣之一。serve as担任，该短语是固定短语。故填as。

5.考查连词。to在这里是介词，介词后面加的是宾语从句，而这个宾语从句缺少连接词。many people might assume 后缺少宾语。宾语从句缺成分。根据句意：与许多人的猜测相反，选择what。故填what。

6.考查非谓语。to是介词，介词后加宾语。而become a politician作了整个的宾语的结构。所以become换成动名词形式。而这个非谓语的逻辑主语为介子推，和become之间的关系为主动关系。因此，把become改成becoming。本句意为：与许多人的猜测相反，介子推，他宁愿在绵山过着简朴的生活而不愿成为一名政治家，拒绝了公爵的邀请。故填becoming。

7.考查副词。根据上下文句意：重耳下令烧毁这座山，逼介子推逃出藏身之地。介子推没有屈服，大火最终杀死了他和他的母亲。在这里，介子推和母亲被大火烧死，是不幸的事情，所以fortune改为Unfortunately。故填Unfortunately。

8.考查虚拟语气。required作动词，后接宾语从句，宾语从句需要用虚拟语气，用should+动词原形。第八题从句：that the setting of fire ____8____ (forbid) on the anniversary of Jie's death.

从句缺少谓语动词。并且句意为在介之推死亡的纪念日，火是被禁止的。火和禁止之间的关系是动宾关系。故填（should）be forbidden。

9.考查定语从句关系副词。 ____9____ the tragedy happened是一个定语从句，修饰先行词Mianshan Mountain，关系词在从句中作地点状语，故选择关系副词中的where。故填where。

10.考查状语从句连接词。本句话后半部分：“the practices of making typical cold dishes for the event have been preserved.” 作的是整个句子的主句。那么，这句话前半部分作的就是状语从句。根据句意：尽管冷的食物并不是人们在庆祝活动中的唯一选择，但是为庆祝活动制作典型的冷的食物的做法得到了保留。可知第十题这空需要填尽管的意思。故填although/though/while。
