【解析】

試題分析：本文介紹在中國(guó)四川省土家族的一項(xiàng)習(xí)俗——婚禮上新娘要哭，即“哭嫁”。

【1】Surprising 句意：它（指哭嫁）不是很令人吃驚嗎？修飾事物用-ing形式的形容詞，故填Surprising。

【2】remained and前面的動(dòng)詞existed用了過去式，后面的動(dòng)詞也用過去式，與existed構(gòu)成并列謂語(yǔ)。故填remained。

【3】until/till 這種習(xí)俗“直到”清末都很流行。故填until/till。

【4】necessity a后面用名詞，指哭嫁是土家族婚禮中一個(gè)必不可少的程序。故填necessity。

【5】the same前一定有冠詞the。故填the。

【6】Otherwise 句意：每個(gè)新娘必須在婚禮上哭，否則鄰居會(huì)瞧不起她。故填Otherwise。

【7】her 新娘在婚禮上必須哭，“否則”鄰居們就會(huì)瞧不起她。故填her。

【8】in 這里表示“在這種情況下”，用in the cases，先行詞是case，故這里填in。

【9】way/means a way to do sth.做某事的方法。故填way。

【10】arranged arranged marriage意為“包辦婚姻”，用過去分詞表示被動(dòng)，即“被包辦的婚姻”。故填arranged。

【知識(shí)拓展】

1.a way to do sth.做某事的方法；a way of doing sth. 做某事的方法

2. until / not...until之間的區(qū)別：

until“直到”,表示某一種行為一直持續(xù)到某一時(shí)間。用在肯定句中，句子的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞必須是可延續(xù)性的。 not...until“直到...才”表示直到某一時(shí)間,某一行為才發(fā)生,之前該行為并沒有發(fā)生. 用在否定句中，主句中的謂語(yǔ)可以是延續(xù)性的也可以是短暫性動(dòng)詞。

1. I studied Englis until 9 o'clock last night.

我咋晚學(xué)英語(yǔ)一直學(xué)到9點(diǎn)鐘.(表示9點(diǎn)前一直在學(xué))

2. I did not study Englis until 9 o'clock last night.

我咋晚直到9點(diǎn)鐘才學(xué)英語(yǔ).(表示9點(diǎn)才開始學(xué))

3. I waited for five hours until it was dark. I had to give it up.

4. I didn't go to sleep until 11 o'clock

not until 還可以用于強(qiáng)調(diào)句中，也可以放在句首，句子要采用部分倒裝

5. It was not until he came back that I went to sleep

6. Not until he came back did I go to sleep.
