答案详解
1. recognized “Liqiu”（立秋 ）与 “recognize（视作；认定 ）” 是被动关系（立秋被人们认定为 “秋天的开始” ），故用过去分词 recognized 作后置定语，修饰 Liqiu 。
2. typically 修饰动词 “arriving（到来 ）” ，需用副词。typical 是形容词，其副词形式 typically 表示 “通常；一般地” ，说明立秋 “通常” 在8月7 - 8日到来。
3. meaning “a phenomenon（一种现象 ）” 与 “mean（意味着 ）” 是主动关系（现象主动 “意味着” 酷热持续 ），用现在分词 meaning 作后置定语，解释 “秋老虎现象” 的含义。
4. growing “with + 宾语 + 宾补” 结构中，“cicadas’ chirping（蝉鸣声 ）” 与 “grow（变得 ）” 是主动关系（蝉鸣声主动 “变弱” ），故用现在分词 growing 作宾补。
5. is eaten “roast duck（烤鸭 ）” 与 “eat（吃 ）” 是被动关系（烤鸭被人们吃 ）；句子描述客观习俗，用一般现在时。因此用一般现在时的被动语态 is eaten 。
6. that 引导同位语从句，解释说明 “the belief（观念 ）” 的具体内容（吃西瓜能降温 ）。that 在从句中无实际意义，仅起连接作用。
7. What 引导主语从句，在从句中作 “recommend（推荐 ）” 的宾语，意为 “医生们最推荐的（事 ）” 。what 在此类名词性从句中可作成分，体现 “…… 的事/物” 。
8. which 引导非限制性定语从句，指代前文 “consuming pears and honey（吃梨和蜂蜜 ）” 这件事，在从句中作主语，说明其对肺部健康的益处。
9. Though/Although/While 引导让步状语从句，表 “尽管立秋不会立刻结束炎热，但……” ，体现转折逻辑。这三个词均可表示 “尽管；虽然”。
10. signals 句子描述客观事实（立秋传递希望 ），用一般现在时。主语 “it（指代立秋 ）” 是第三人称单数，故谓语动词 signal 变第三人称单数形式 signals。

2. indicating 逗号后无连词，需用非谓语动词。逻辑主语 “The Chinese character ‘处’” 与 “indicate（意味着）” 是主动关系（字主动发出 “意味着” 的动作 ），故用现在分词 indicating 作伴随状语。
3. an “come to an end” 是固定短语，意为 “结束；告终” ，end 以元音音素开头，所以用不定冠词 an 。

7. preparations “make preparations for...” 是固定短语，意为 “为…… 做准备” ，prepare 是动词，需变为名词 preparations ，体现农民为播种做 “准备工作（复数含义，含多种准备事项 ）” 。
8. beneficial “be beneficial to...” 是固定搭配，意为 “对…… 有益” ，benefit 是名词/动词，此处需用形容词 beneficial 作表语，说明昼夜温差对作物养分积累的作用。
9. a “a common practice” 表示 “一种常见做法/习俗” ，practice 是可数名词单数，用不定冠词 a 表泛指，说明吃鸭肉在很多地区是 “一种” 常见传统。
10. which 考查which引导非限制性定语从句，指代先行词 “Chushu Lily Duck（处暑百合鸭）” ，在从句中作主语，说明这道菜 “将百合与鸭肉结合” 的特点，非限制性定语从句不能用 that。

2. into 固定搭配“divide...into...”表示“把……分成……”，此处指“将秋天分为两个相等的部分”。
3. arrival 空前有定冠词“the”，需用名词形式，“arrive”的名词是“arrival”，表示“秋分的到来”。
