【小题3】situated
【小题4】Realizing
【小题5】but
【小题6】who

【小题8】before - 试题分析：文章大意：这篇短文主要是讲龙舟节的来历，2000多年前屈原劝谏皇帝未成，而跳汨罗江自杀，为纪念他而自然形成的节日。
【小题1】考查动词。由时间状语for thousands of years可知，句子谓语动词应用现在完成进行时，表示端午节一直以来都以吃粽子和赛龙珠的方式进行庆祝，而且将来也会如此，故填has been marked。
【小题2】考查非谓语动词。这里考查be said to have done，表示过去发生的事情。句意：屈原据说是投河自杀的。
【小题3】考查动词。表示某地方位于何地时，用be situated in /on, 句中“situated…”相当于定语从句，“which was situated…”。
【小题4】考查非谓语动词。因逻辑主语Qu与realize是主动关系，故应填Realizing。句意：意识到整个国家掌握在恶吏手中。
【小题5】考查连词。根据前后句意可知为转折关系，故用but。句意：附近的渔民赶来救他，但是未能救活他。
【小题6】考查定语从句。引导定语从句并在从句中作主语，先行词是The people of Chu，故应填who。句意：哀悼屈原死的楚国人民把米扔进河里。
【小题7】考查代词。代替the mourners，在句中作宾语，故应填them。句意：灵魂告诉他们在将粽子扔进河里之前，应把他们裹好。
【小题8】考查连词。因“将它裹好、绑好”应是在“将粽子扔进河里”之前，才不会给河里的一种爬行动物偷吃，故应填介词before。
