解析：
(1)conducted. 考查过去分词。

句意:《中国青年报》最近进行的一项调查显示,1018名受访者中,92.9%的人表示会回家和家人团聚庆祝一下。

分析句子可知,___ (conduct) by China Youth Daily这一部分作后置定语修饰名词survey,动词conduct的意思是"实施,进行",与survey之间为动宾关系,应用过去分词表被动,故填conducted.
(2)for. 考查介词。

句意:《中国青年报》最近进行的一项调查显示,1018名受访者中,92.9%的人表示会回家和家人团聚庆祝一下。

设空后是名词,此处表目的,应用介词for,故填for. (3)traditionally. 考查副词。

句意:由于满月象征着一家人团聚,中秋节传统上与家人团聚联系在一起。

设空处修饰形容词associated,应用副词traditionally作状语,表示"传统上",故填traditionally.
(4)are given. 考查被动语态。

句意:为了庆祝,一家人通常会一起享用晚餐,吃月饼,月饼是作为礼物赠送的,以表达人们对家庭团聚的美好祝愿。

此处是一个非限制性定语从句,关系代词which指代先行词mooncakes作主语,与动词give之间为被动关系,本句陈述客观事实,所以应用一般现在时的被动语态,mooncakes是复数名词,be动词用are,故填are given.
(5)observing. 考查现在分词。

句意:回家庆祝这个节日是对我们传统文化的一种尊重,也是对延续了几个世纪的传统的一种遵守。

根据句意及设空前连词and可知,此处与前面honoring 并列作介词of的宾语,词性应保持一致用动名词形式,故填observing.
(6)which. 考查定语从句。

句意:首先它是10月1日这一天,是纪念中华人民共和国成立1949周年的日子。

此处需要一个连接词引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是Oct 1,连接词在从句中作
主语,应用关系代词which引导该从句。

故填which.
(7)founding/foundation. 考查名词。

首先它是10月1日这一天,是纪念中华人民共和国成立1949周年的日子。

设空前有定冠词the修饰,此处应用名词founding/foundation作宾语,意思是"成立,创办",是不可数名词,故填founding/foundation.
(8)the. 考查定冠词。

句意:因此,它在为期一周的国庆长假开始的时候,这样人们可以有更多的时间回家。

at the start of"在……开始的时候" ,固定短语,故填the.
(9)so. 考查连词。

因此,它在为期一周的国庆长假开始的时候,这样人们可以有更多的时间回家。

分析句意可知,设空前后两个分句为因果关系,应用并列连词so连接。

故填so.
(10)had. 考查动词时态。

句意:而且在今年头几个月对抗COVID-19的斗争中,许多人不得不取消他们的新年旅行计划。

设空处在句子中作谓语,根据during the struggle against the COVID-19 in the first few months of the year可知,本句叙述的是过去的情况,应用一般过去时,故填had. 四、
