6、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。4formally 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。5declared 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。6the 解析：考查定冠词。the形容词，表示一类人。the elderly 表示“老年人”。7themselves 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
7、到乐趣” 。8being 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。9disasters 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。10to 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。一高考单词识记思考运用1核心词汇multiply vi.&
