(A)
The Spring Festival is celebrated not only in China but also in other parts of the world. The traditional holiday is the most important to Chinese both at home and abroad.
The United Kingdom Celebrations for the Spring Festival in the UK started in 1980, with the first evening party held in 2002. Every New Year, people get together and have a lot of activities. They sing songs, dance to music, share photos with friends or enjoy films in a cinema.
The United States The Spring Festival has become a key time for Chinese living or working in the US. They join in a large evening party to welcome the new year. It is a good chance for people to build a circle(圈子) of friends and feel that they are not alone because they share the same culture and values(价值观).
Australia The Chinese New Year is welcomed with three weeks of celebrations across Australia. Many people come to Sydney’s Chinatown or Little Bourke in Melbourne. They enjoy fireworks, lion dances, dragon boat races and many other traditional activities. The celebrations are also a bridge towards better understanding between Chinese and non-Chinese.
Singapore The family dinner on New Year’s Eve is an important tradition for Chinese whether they were born in Singapore or moved there from China. They place traditional food on a table as an act of remembering their past. Then the whole family enjoy their dinner together. They usually hold it at home because having it in a restaurant takes away the meaning of the tradition.

Around the world, people have different traditional foods to celebrate different festivals. Traditional foods also show a new year of good luck and good health.
An English Christmas dinner has a meal of turkey, and it also includes pies and plum puddings (李子布丁). In Germany, Christmas is celebrated with bread, cookies and cakes, which are made like Christmas trees. In France, Christmas dessert is a cake filled with butter cream.
In southern parts of India, there is a three-day festival in mid-January called Pongal. It includes rice and a dish of rice cooked with sugar that is shared with families and friends.
Japan celebrates New Year with a seven-day festival. It begins from January (1)st. Food is prepared before the festival so people don’t need to cook during the festival. On New Year's Day, various dishes called Osechi Ryori (御节料理) are served—each dish is a wish for the New Year.
In most Asian countries, the New Year begins with the first full moon of the first Chinese Lunar (阴历的) month. Each place has its special food to welcome the coming year. People in China prepare their food ahead of time to avoid the possibility that using a knife during New Year's time might "cut luck". Foods with lucky names are popular, such as fish, which sounds like "surplus(剩余)".

Mooncake Fillings Can Sometimes Leave Me Guessing
Life is like a box of mooncakes. You never know what you’re going to get.
A big mystery(奥秘) in Chinese life comes in a plastic case. The mooncake is one of the best desserts I have ever tasted, but buying it is a never-ending surprise or disappointment(失望). You never know what kind of fillings you will get!
Mooncakes in China are bigger, thicker and tastier than the dessert in my country. They are round and filled with different kinds of fillings. Red bean and nuts are the most common, but there are more elaborate(精心制作的) fillings I am just discovering every year: green tea, meat, salted egg, cream cheese, duck and so on. I have read about an ice-cream mooncake. I’ve never tried it but I wonder where to find it.
My question is simple: How do you know what’s inside?
For one who has gotten tired of good old red bean filling, it would be nice to taste the others. I like nuts and salted egg in my mooncake. But when I ask the store clerk what’s inside, I’m usually met with a blank look.
I wish there was a smarter way to tell Chinese mooncakes without tasting it one by one. How about a photo of split-open mooncakes at every store? The buyer can always point the photos to the store clerk. An English translation of the chart would be helpful but not necessary.
9.Which of the following fillings in a mooncake is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. B. C. D.
10.What does the underlined word “blank” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A.兴奋的 B.空白的 C.茫然的 D.愤怒的
11.What can we infer from the passage?
A.The writer is a foreigner.
B.The writer doesn’t like red beans.
C.The writer has tasted the ice-cream mooncake before.
D.The writer can’t tell what’s inside the mooncakes at all.
12.Why does the writer write the passage?
A.To introduce a Chinese food—mooncake.
B.To teach people how to buy the right mooncakes.
C.To explain why mooncakes have different kinds of fillings.
D.To call on a smart way to know the fillings in mooncakes.
(D)
Chinese netizens are again showing their skills for online humor by turning the image of a classic Hong Kong actor, Xu Jinjiang, into a “Chinese Santa”. The character, first played by Xu in the 1992 period comedy movie Royal Tramp(《鹿鼎记》), wearing a red hat and long beard, looks much like Old Saint Nick. While Chinese netizens enjoy the “Chinese Santa”, Westerners living in China are making it more interesting to celebrate Christmas.
As we know, in the US, families get together and decorate their homes with colorful lights and a tree. They have a big fancy dinner with turkey and pie. And on Christmas morning, they all sit under the tree and open their presents.
But here in Beijing, many foreign friends celebrate Christmas a bit differently. One of the things they like to do is to have a Christmas potluck dinner. This is a group dinner where each guest brings a dish they made at home. They bring dishes like mashed potatoes (土豆泥) and baked ham (烤火腿). It’s a fun way to get together and celebrate when they can’t all be with their own families.
Another thing they enjoy is playing a game called “white elephant”. This is a gift-giving game where each person brings a “mystery gift”. They take turns trading the gifts with each other—and if someone else gets a gift that they think might be good, they even have one chance to steal it! Everyone ends up with an unusual gift.
There is also an event called Santacon. It’s an all-day party where people dress like Santa Claus and go to different places in a big group. It’s a fun way to spend time with your friends and meet new people.
13.What does the “Chinese Santa” look like according to the passage?
A. B. C. D.
14.The second paragraph mainly describes .
A.what people in the US receive on Christmas Day
B.when people in the US exchange Christmas gifts
C.how people in the US decorate their homes
D.how people in the US celebrate Christmas
15.What do people do at a potluck dinner?
A.They go to a restaurant and have a big dinner together.
B.Everybody brings a home-made dish to share with others.
C.They get together to make dinner at a party.
D.They order some food and share it at a party.
16.Which of the following is a game?
