【解析】

本文主要介紹了生日聚會(huì)的起源和發(fā)展。

【1】句意：但你有沒有想過這個(gè)傳統(tǒng)是怎么開始的？

根據(jù)下文介紹的關(guān)于生日聚會(huì)的起源和發(fā)展過程可知，此處是詢問生日聚會(huì)是如何開始的，故應(yīng)用疑問詞how“如何，怎樣”來引導(dǎo)從句。故答案為how。

【2】句意：為了保護(hù)他們不受傷害，朋友和家人會(huì)和過生日的人在一起并許下愿望。

根據(jù)語境及句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處應(yīng)為to do不定式作目的狀語，即to protect。故答案為To。

【3】句意：為了保護(hù)他們不受傷害，朋友和家人會(huì)和過生日的人在一起并許下愿望。

根據(jù)語境可知，在生日那天，親朋好友會(huì)和過生日的人一同許愿，故此處應(yīng)為make wishes許愿。根據(jù)would come及and可知，此處為過去將來時(shí)態(tài)，and后的成分省略would直接用動(dòng)詞原形。故答案為make。

【4】句意：他們會(huì)計(jì)劃一個(gè)盛大的聚會(huì)，然后邀請?jiān)S多人來參加慶�；顒�(dòng)。

根據(jù)語境可知，“計(jì)劃一個(gè)盛大的聚會(huì)”這件事發(fā)生在過去的將來，故本句時(shí)態(tài)為過去將來時(shí)，即would+動(dòng)詞原形。故答案為would。

【5】句意：孩子們的第一個(gè)生日聚會(huì)在德國舉行，被稱為Kinderfeste。

根據(jù)上文“Later, children began to celebrate their own birthdays like the kings”可知，此處應(yīng)為孩子們的第一個(gè)生日聚會(huì)，故此處應(yīng)為children孩子們，復(fù)數(shù)名詞。故答案為children。
