1 / 5 UNIT 2 课时检测（四） “Developing ideas”的课文习读环节 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Chinese New Year has been welcomed in Britain with its biggest ever program of events and celebrations. From London's Trafalgar Square to major cities across Britain, tens of thousands of British people have joined Chinese communities to celebrate the arrival of the New Year. In Manchester there was a Dragon Parade (舞龙表演), led by a very impressive 54­meter­long dragon, ending in Chinatown where there was traditional Chinese entertainment, more than 6,000 lanterns, street food villages and a fireworks show. Celebrations also took place in Liverpool, Birmingham, Durham, Edinburgh, Leeds and Newcastle. Academic Dr Wu Kegang said that the Chinese New Year event in Britain “is now bigger than ever and it is growing every year”. When Wu arrived in Britain 26 years ago from Guangdong, the first thing he noticed was that Chinese New Year was celebrated mainly in towns and cities with big Chinese communities. “You would go to London Chinatown and join your countrymen to celebrate, or to Chinatowns in places like Liverpool and Manchester for events almost only held for Chinese people，” Wu recalled. “Now it is so different, and we are seeing local communities all over the country taking part alongside their own Chinese populations，” he said. “It is clear to me that the celebrations will continue to grow in Britain. Chinese New Year has earned its place in the calendar of events in Britain, and is here to stay.” 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的春节在英国不仅很受欢迎，而且其受欢迎程度逐年递增。 1．Where did the Dragon Parade take place?
