【1题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：9月28日，汤显祖戏剧节暨国际戏剧交流月开幕式在这位中国著名剧作家的故乡江西省抚州举行，汤显祖戏剧节暨国际戏剧交流月是一系列纪念汤显祖、加强国际文化交流的活动。根据空前的and可知，空处和前文的to honor并列，所以空处应填不定式形式，其中to可省略，strength的动词形式是strengthen。故填strengthen

【4题详解】
考查冠词。句意：汤显祖在明朝的江西省生活和工作，大约在同一时期，伟大的语言大师和剧作家威廉·莎士比亚在都铎时代活跃在半个地球之外的英国。Ming Dynasty特指明朝，前应用定冠词修饰。故填the。
【5题详解】
考查名词。句意：他们是同时代的人，他们的作品仍然很受欢迎，至今仍在演出。空前是系动词，所以空处应填名词作表语，contemporary意为“同代人”为可数名词，根据were可知，用复数形式。故填contemporaries。
【6题详解】
考查副词。句意：几个世纪以来，汤显祖的故事一直为他的同胞们带来欢乐，如今，来自世界各地的观众来到他的家乡，那里正在举办国际戏剧交流项目。空处修饰空后的动词，用副词修饰。故填consistently。

考查定语从句。句意：几个世纪以来，汤显祖的故事一直为他的同胞们带来欢乐，如今，来自世界各地的观众来到他的家乡，那里正在举办国际戏剧交流项目。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是his hometown，在从句中作地点状语，用where引导。故填where。
