【解析】

【1】分析句子，本句中由于出現(xiàn)了標(biāo)志性的時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)since ancient times，可知要用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，又因?yàn)橹髡Z(yǔ)是Festivals and celebrations of all kinds，與主語(yǔ)之間是被動(dòng)的關(guān)系，可知要用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。

【2】分析句子，可知此處要使用非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞，又由于plant在本句中是主動(dòng)，故用planting。

【3】分析句子，可知這空格前面是一個(gè)形容詞，故空格必須要用名詞，又由于前面是many，故用名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式。

【4】In memory of是固定搭配，意思是：為了紀(jì)念…。

【5】分析句子，可知空格應(yīng)該填一個(gè)連詞，根據(jù)上下文前后句的意思，表因果，故填because。

【6】分析句子，可知空格應(yīng)該填介詞，由于這是特指某一天，故用on表特指。

【7】In the shape of．是固定搭配，意思是：…的形狀。

【8】分析句子的意思，可知此處缺少一個(gè)形容詞性物主代詞修飾origin，根據(jù)句意用its。

【9】分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)，可知這是一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句。在從句中沒有缺少任何的主干成分，由于先行詞是festival，故關(guān)系副詞用when。

【10】分析句子，可知空格前是所有格India’s,故其后要用名詞，根據(jù)句意，要用independence。
