【分析】
本文主要介绍了中国传统节日端午节的由来，以及人们会用一些什么活动来庆祝端午节。
1．句意：我们上周一过了一个传统的中国节日。此处作定语修饰其后名词festival，应该用形容词。tradition意为“传统”，是名词，其形容词为traditional，故填traditional。
2．句意：这个节日是为了纪念屈原，他是中国最伟大的诗人之一。one of the+形容词最高级+名词复数意为“最……之一”，所以此处应该用形容词最高级。great意为“伟大的”，是形容词，其最高级为greatest，故填greatest。
3．句意：他在公元前278年的农历5月5日跳入汨罗江中自杀了。此处作宾语，和主语指同一个人，所以宾语用反身代词。he意为“他”，是人称代词，其反身代词为himself，故填himself。
4．句意：那里的人们想要救他，但是太迟了。此处连接前后两句话，表示转折，可知用表转折的并列连词but，故填but。
5．句意：他们非常悲伤，于是他们将大米扔进河中喂鱼，这样鱼就会远离他的尸身。此处作谓语，根据前后文都用一般过去时，可知此处也用过去时。throw意为“扔”，是动词，其过去式为threw，故填threw。
6．句意：从那以后，每一年的这一天，人们都会做粽子——由大米混合肉和蛋等物制成。此处作enjoy的宾语，构成enjoy doing sth.，意为“享受做某事”，所以应该填动名词。make意为“制作”，是动词，其动名词为making，故填making。
7．句意：这是这个节日另一个重要的活动。此处作表语，其前被another限定，可知填名词单数。act意为“行动”，是名词，变为activity“活动”符合语境，故填activity。
8．句意：一些队伍尽可能快地划着龙形的小船。此处修饰其前动词row，应该用副词。quick意为“快的”，是形容词，其副词为quickly，故填quickly。
9．句意：第一个到达终点线的队伍获胜。此处修饰其后名词team，表示“第几”，应该用the+序数词，故填The。
10．句意：如果你计划明年来中国玩，你要不要和我们一起度过这个节日呢？此处缺介词，表示“和某人一起”，可知用with，故填with。
