【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了今年国际护士节的特殊庆祝方式及其原因。

【1】

考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：这件事是由国际护士理事会创办的，于1965年首次被庆祝。空处是句子的谓语，根据时间状语in 1965可知，应使用一般过去时，且主语The event和动词create之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，主语是单数，故填was created。

【2】

考查介词。句意：自从1974年1月份，全球性的庆祝活动传统上在5月12号举行。12 May是表示具体的一天，应使用介词on，故填on。

【3】

考查名词。句意：这个请求得到了世界卫生组织的认可。be in recognition of是固定搭配，意为“认可”，故填recognition。

【4】

考查非谓语动词。句意：英国首席护士长Ruth May联合其他领导呼吁人们在周二晚上8:30照亮他们的窗户来记住这一天。空处作介词in的宾语，应使用动名词形式，故填urging。

【6】

考查副词。句意：国际护士节今年尤其特殊，不仅因为它是Florence Nightingale的200周年纪念日，而且因为那些追随她脚步的人在抗击新型冠状肺炎方面所做的工作。空处修饰形容词special，应使用副词形式，故填particularly。

【7】

考查固定搭配。not…but…是固定搭配，意为“不是……而是……”，在本句中连接两个状语从句，故填but。

【8】

考查冠词/代词。根据“against the novel coronavirus”可知，此处特指“抗击新型冠状病毒”的斗争，所以fight前应使用定冠词the，也可使用形容词性物主代词their修饰名词fight。故填the/their。
