(2018·合肥高三质检)May Day, the first day of May, is celebrated as a spring festival in many countries. It marks the approach of summer.
The English developed their May Day festival from the Roman festival called Floralia. In the festival of Floralia, the Romans gathered flowers to honor the goddess of spring, Flora. In the Middle Ages, May Day became the favorite holiday of many English villages. People gathered flowers to decorate their homes and churches, sang spring songs and chose a king and a queen of May. Villagers danced around a tall pole fixed upright in the ground, called a maypole, each holding the end of a ribbon attached to the top of the pole. They tied the ribbons around the pole until it was covered with bright colors. They collected dew(露水) on May Day morning and washed their faces with it because they believed that the dew on the day had the magic power to regain youth.
Nowadays in Britain people no longer attach great importance to the day, but in some towns and villages people still celebrate it by choosing the May Queen and dancing around the maypole. May Queen is a girl selected as the most beautiful girl on May Day. She is usually crowned with flowers and often driven in procession through the street. In the United States, the day has never been celebrated with the same enthusiasm as in Britain. But in many American towns and cities, children celebrate the day with dancing and singing. They often gather flowers in handmade paper baskets and hang them on the doorknobs of the homes of their friends’ and neighbors’ on May Day morning. At May Day parties, children select May Queen, dance around the maypole, and sing May Day songs.

【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了中国的传统节日重阳节的历史发展、名称由来等。
1．on 解析：考查介词。重阳节是在农历九月初九这一天。在特定的某一天用介词on。
2．is regarded 解析：考查动词时态和语态。在中国，九被视为阳数。主语nine和动词regard之间是被动关系，表示“被视为”，故用被动语态；此处是对客观情况的描述，应用一般现在时。
3．how 解析：考查表语从句的连接词。九月的第九天含有两个阳数，“重”在汉语中表示“双倍”的意思，这就是重阳节名称的由来。根据语境可以判断，空处表示“重阳节名称的由来”，故用how引导该表语从句。
4．formally 解析：考查副词。根据空处后的动词set可知，空处修饰该动词，故用副词形式。
5．declared 解析：考查动词的时态。根据该句中的时间状语“In 1989”可知，该句陈述的是发生在1989年的事情，故用一般过去时。
6．the 解析：考查定冠词。the＋形容词，表示一类人。the elderly表示“老年人”。
7．themselves 解析：考查反身代词。1989年，中国政府宣布农历九月初九为“敬老节”，以此来尊敬老人，并让他们过得愉快。enjoy oneself意为“得到乐趣”。
8．being promoted 解析：考查非谓语动词。根据空处前的介词of可知，空处用动词的ing形式；根据语境可知，主语people和动词promote之间是被动关系，表示“被提升”，故用being promoted。
9．disasters 解析：考查名词复数。人们常常认为菊花酒能消除各种疾病和灾难。根据该句中“diseases and”可知，空处用复数形式。
10．to show 解析：考查动词不定式。如今，人们举办许多活动如组织老人旅游、给老人送礼物以表达对老人的尊敬。根据句意可知，空处表示目的，故用动词不定式。
