1 . 阅读下列短文，根据短文内容或括号内所给词的恰当形式填空。

According to Chinese custom, 2024 is the year of the Dragon, but     1     is still unclear whether the English translation of the dragon is “dragon” or “Loong”. Here’s an answer that might help you out.

Contrary to the evil image of European dragons, Chinese dragons     4     (traditional) represent strong power, strength, and good luck. They even have jobs. In fact,     5     Chinese legends, dragons were appointed head of the four seas where they must keep order, as well as the job of bringing rain to the earth.

    6     (look) through the history books, we can learn that “龙” and dragon were originally translated into each other in a dictionary written by the British Morrison after the Opium War. Since then, “龙” and dragon     7     (translate) into each other on most occasions, for example, the     8     (excite) film called Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. In any case, “龙” and dragon can not be directly translated into each other,     9     has led to cultural misunderstanding to a certain extent. After all, the     10     (image) of Chinese dragon and Western dragon are very different.
