参考答案及解析:
1 B  U5 u7 \: i# v2 ^1. refer后加to
固定搭配refer to…as…，意为“把…称作…”。
- F# S; r( p% s) @4 D5 V" W2 ]( C( |2. that -%26gt; /
Because表示原因后接从句时不需加that。
3. unabundant -%26gt; abundant
7 ?4 H# g& w3 [/ `! R根据上文已经说了中秋节也被认为是丰收节，所以食物应该是很丰富的，故将unabundant改为abundant。
0 T% M& \* B" I! r! B$ i) i# B! p4. relax -%26gt; relaxation
6 r- c8 Z* z$ Q2 B; L0 w* Xrelax是动词，此处需要名词作for的宾语，所以将relax改成相应的名词relaxation。
' ~4 q: X+ h* h  ?5. appears -%26gt; appear
2 O# e* Q2 B* Q* f4 U+ e这句话是倒装句，真正的主语是后面的some special customs，所以谓语动词要用复数形式。
6. and -%26gt; but

7. relative -%26gt; relatives
2 R& v; l6 o& A/ ~6 k, z8. resembles -%26gt; resemble
2 Y7 I- ]; c* ~8 F0 u7 ?3 o这句话的主语是the round moon cakes，所以将谓语动词resembles改为resemble。
" c) c8 {( Q/ f" M9. hundreds后加of
固定搭配hundreds of“成百上千的”。
1 _' z+ e9 C8 p' p+ V# U10. cakes后加which或that
: o; }# U  y! H2 |这句话出现了compare和are served两个谓语，根据句子的意思compare才是真正的谓语，而are served….则应该是修饰cakes的定语从句，又因为从句缺少主语，所以加上that或which。
