Minnan nursery rhymes (童谣), sung in the Minnan dialect (方言), are treasures of Chinese culture. They fill 1. (child) world with stories of nature and family. Most Minnan rhymes are short and easy for children 2. (remember). I first heard Minnan nursery rhymes in my grandmother's arms. Every evening when I was younger, Grandma would sit under the village banyan tree (榕树) 3. (hold) me on her lap. Before singing *Moonlight*, she'd say to me, "Listen with your heart."
"Tides rise, winds blow,
Grandma's song won't let you go.
Moonlight, as bright as snow,
4. (guide) fishermen home through the glow."
Minnan rhymes are more than songs. They're playful lessons. They teach children to count with fruits, learn seasons through farm work, and understand the 5. (kind) of people from old stories. Many rhymes use symbols from daily life, like "lychee (荔枝)" for joy or "turtle (龟)" for long life.
6. (sad), fewer children speak the Minnan dialect today. To keep these rhymes 7. (live), schools in Xiamen create online games and guide students to record elders' singing using apps. They protect these rhymes in a 8. (create) way.
Last month, we performed at the school festival. Students danced to *Moonlight* and other rhymes when elderly teachers 9. (sing) along. I realized these rhymes are bridges between past and future. As my grandma says, "When rhymes fade, cultural roots (根) weaken."
Though we now learn rhymes through smartphones instead of village trees, the 10. (warm) of sharing them stays the same. Minnan nursery rhymes aren't just songs—they're time machines made of words.

【分析】
本题为语篇型词汇运用题，需结合语境、固定搭配、语法规则确定单词正确形式。解题思路：先分析空格处的成分及所需词性/形式，再结合上下文、固定搭配或语法规则推导，最后验证语句通顺性。具体每空思路：1. 空格后是名词world，需用所有格表“孩子们的世界”，child复数所有格为children's；2. 固定句式“be + adj + for sb to do sth”，填to remember；3. 作伴随状语，Grandma与hold主动，用现在分词holding；4. 主语Moonlight是第三人称单数，一般现在时谓语用Guides；5. 定冠词the后接名词，kind变名词kindness；6. 副词修饰句子，sad变副词Sadly；7. 固定搭配“keep sth + adj”，live变形容词alive；8. 形容词修饰way，create变形容词creative；9. when引导的时间状语从句，主句是一般过去时，从句对应用sang；10. 定冠词the后接名词，warm变名词warmth。
【解析】
1. 考查名词所有格：表示“孩子们的世界”，child复数形式为children，其所有格为children's，故填children's；
2. 考查固定句式：“It is + adj + for sb to do sth”结构，此处省略it is，故填to remember；
3. 考查非谓语动词：现在分词作伴随状语，Grandma与hold是主动关系，故填holding；
4. 考查动词时态：主语Moonlight为第三人称单数，一般现在时谓语用第三人称单数形式，故填Guides；
5. 考查词性转换：定冠词the后需接名词，kind的名词形式为kindness，故填kindness；
6. 考查词性转换：此处需副词修饰整个句子，sad的副词形式为Sadly，故填Sadly；
7. 考查固定搭配：“keep sth + adj”表示“使某物保持某种状态”，live的形容词形式为alive，故填alive；
8. 考查词性转换：此处需形容词修饰名词way，create的形容词形式为creative，故填creative；
9. 考查动词时态：when引导的时间状语从句，主句为一般过去时，从句也用一般过去时，故填sang；
10. 考查词性转换：定冠词the后需接名词，warm的名词形式为warmth，故填warmth。
