【解析】

試題分析：通過閱讀，完成詞匯在特定語境下的正確運用。詞語形式的變化要考慮它們在句子中所做的成分和固定搭配等。

【1】 in 考查固定搭配。in common 是固定搭配, 意思是：共同的。

【2】festivals 考查名詞復數(shù)。and連接兩個復數(shù)名詞，后面是復數(shù)名詞 traditions。前面也應該是復數(shù)名詞：festivals。

【3】 is 考查主謂一致。One characteristic是主語， that is famous of British people是定語從句修飾主語，….的一個特點是他們的幽默感。根據(jù)意思可知，謂語用單數(shù)，全文都是一般現(xiàn)在時，這里也應該一致。

【4】 a 考查冠詞。句意：這是一個有名的自嘲的笑話。joke是單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞，應該用a表一個。

【5】 is tied 考查被動語態(tài)。句意：很難解釋為什么自嘲和英國人聯(lián)系在一起，tie self-mockery to the British people，把自嘲和英國人聯(lián)系在一起，賓語self-mockery在why從句中作主語，那么謂語動詞就應該用被動語態(tài)is tied 。

【6】meaning 考查非謂語動詞。這里用動詞的-ing形式做狀語，說明該動詞和所修飾詞之間是主動關系。

【7】where 考查定語從句的關系詞。在中國謙虛也起到一個很大的作用。where是副詞在從句中做狀語。

【8】lessen 考查構詞法，less是形容詞，更少的，后加-en 變動詞做謂語，意思是：減少。

【9】 that 考查固定搭配�！� reason is that….意思是：…..的理由是….。

【10】seriously 考查副詞。英語中常用副詞修飾動詞。serious的副詞變化是seriously。
