3. The teacher spoke to the student who broke the window.
4. You will know more about Chinese traditions if you learn about Chinese festival culture.
5. We get together to celebrate festivals so that we can show our love to our family.

【分析】
本题要求用括号内指定的连接词将两个简单句合并为复合句，解题思路是：先明确每个连接词的语义和从句类型，再根据逻辑关系调整句子语序，将其中一个句子转化为对应类型的从句嵌入主句中。具体需结合每个连接词的功能（时间、原因、定语修饰、条件、目的），匹配句子间的逻辑关系完成合并。
【解析】
1. as表“当……时”，引导时间状语从句，体现两个动作同时发生，将第二个句子作为从句用as连接，合并为：The students sang as they walked along the street.
2. because表“因为”，引导原因状语从句，说明主句“爱中秋节”的原因，从句置于主句后，合并为：People love the Mid-Autumn Festival because it brings family members together.
3. who是指代人的关系代词，引导定语从句修饰先行词the student，将第二个句子作为定语从句放在先行词后，合并为：The teacher spoke to the student who broke the window.
4. if表“如果”，引导条件状语从句，遵循“主将从现”规则（主句用一般将来时，从句用一般现在时），调整主句和从句语序后合并为：You will know more about Chinese traditions if you learn about Chinese festival culture.
5. so that表“为了”，引导目的状语从句，说明“聚在一起庆祝节日”的目的，从句置于主句后，合并为：We get together to celebrate festivals so that we can show our love to our family.
【答案】
1. The students sang as they walked along the street.
2. People love the Mid-Autumn Festival because it brings family members together.
3. The teacher spoke to the student who broke the window.
4. You will know more about Chinese traditions if you learn about Chinese festival culture.

【知识点】

【点评】
本题考查英语复合句的基础应用，核心是掌握不同连接词的语义及对应从句的结构，属于英语语法中复合句的入门题型，需注意从句语序和“主将从现”等特殊规则，是巩固复合句用法的典型练习。
