【解析】試題分析：本文是一篇說明文，介紹了美洲狂歡節(jié)的來歷以及黑人對(duì)此節(jié)日發(fā)展的作用。

【1】考查形容詞。relaxing作定語修飾atmosphere，表示其特征，意思是“令人放松的”。ing形式變化來的形容詞表示被修飾語的特征。句意：今天的狂歡節(jié)是一種國際體驗(yàn)，創(chuàng)造了一種令人放松的氣氛。故填relaxing。

【2】考查代詞。修飾名詞用形容詞性物主代詞，故填its。

【3】考查名詞。定冠詞the的后面接名詞，表示特指，動(dòng)詞arrive的名詞是arrival。故填arrival。

【4】考查固定搭配。by force是介詞短語，意思是“靠武力；強(qiáng)行”。句意：200多年來，數(shù)百萬黑人被強(qiáng)行從非洲運(yùn)到新世界。故填by。

【5】考查定語從句。where引導(dǎo)定語從句，修飾the New World，后面的從句there are British and French landowner句子結(jié)構(gòu)完整，故用關(guān)系副詞where引導(dǎo)定語從句，在從句中作地點(diǎn)狀語。故填where。

【6】考查副詞。句意：自然而然地，歐洲人也引進(jìn)了他們自己的節(jié)日。naturally是nature的副詞形式，作狀語修飾整個(gè)句子，且置句首單詞首字母大寫。故填Naturally。

【7】考查動(dòng)詞。force作謂語動(dòng)詞，與主語the slaves是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，根據(jù)語境，句子講述過去發(fā)生的事情用一般過去時(shí)，且主語是復(fù)數(shù)。故填were forced。

【8】考查with的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)�！敖樵~with+賓語+賓語補(bǔ)足語”構(gòu)成with的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)，their faces與paint是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以用過去分詞作賓語補(bǔ)足語。故填painted。

【9】考查連詞。句意：當(dāng)奴隸貿(mào)易在1838年被廢除時(shí)，以前的奴隸承接了狂歡節(jié)，變成對(duì)自由的慶祝。此處是時(shí)間狀語從句，when和as引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句，都表示“當(dāng)……時(shí)候”，置句首單詞首字母大寫。故填When/As。

【10】考查冠詞。句意：狂歡節(jié)成了團(tuán)結(jié)不同團(tuán)體的一種方式。way“方式”是可數(shù)名詞，此處泛指“一種方法”。故填a。
