【解析】

本文是说明文。本文主要讲述了冰糖葫芦的起源以及制作方法，冰糖葫芦很受小孩子的欢迎，糖葫芦的味道能勾起人们对幸福童年的回忆。

1.考查时态。句意：自古以来，它在当地人特别是儿童中很受欢迎。因为前面有时间状语：Since the ancient times（自从古代），所以句子应使用现在完成时。又因为主语it是单数，故谓语也应用单数。故填has been。

2.考查副词。句意：通常糖葫芦是由山楂制成的。由于后面的"made (制作) "是动词，副词作状语修饰动词。故填commonly。

3.考查动词不定式。句意：山楂富含维生素C，并且具有传统中药特性为人们所熟知。固定搭配be known to do sth：因……而闻名。故填to have。

4.考查名词的数。句意：根据一个八百年前的传说，皇帝的一位妻子生病了并且食欲很差。one of后面的名词应该为复数形式。故填wives。

5.考查冠词。句意：根据一个八百年前的传说，皇帝的一位妻子生病了并且食欲很差。结合句意可知，这里表示“胃口不好”。have a poor appetite：胃口不好，poor是以辅音因素开头的单词，应使用不定冠词a表示泛指意义。故填a。

6.考查过去分词。句意：医生建议她在晚餐前吃10个和糖煮在一起的山楂。 haws承受boil 的动作，应使用过去分词表示被动关系。故填boiled。

7.考查固定短语。句意：后来此方传到了民间的普通百姓那里。固定短语pass sth on to sb：将……传递或传承给某人。故填to。

8.考查连接词。句意：这就是它们也被叫做冰糖葫芦的原因。前句“糖浆最后变成了一层固体涂层，就像山楂表面的晶体”，这是在解释糖葫芦为什么又被称为冰糖葫芦。本句为why引导的表语从句。故填why。

9.考查形容词。句意：另外一个起源故事说，最开始的糖葫芦只有两个山楂：上面一个，下面一个，使其像葫芦一样，寓意带来好运。结合前文的“According to a legend”可知，这儿的“origin story(起源故事)”是另外一个传说，因此使用another修饰origin story，单词放句首首字母应该大写。故填Another。

10.考查时态和主谓一致。句意：糖葫芦的味道包含了山楂的酸和糖的甜，它是几种口味的结合，这使人们常常想起快乐的童年。本句话是在描述糖葫芦的味道及它的作用，动词应使用一般现在时。which引导非限制性定语从句，指代先行词the taste of tanghulu（糖葫芦的味道）在从句中作主语，因此从句的谓语动词应是单数形式。故填reminds。
