[参与“交流探讨”]
1.根据诗句(Amid the boom of firecrackers a year has come to an end, and the spring wind has wafted warm breath to the wine.),介绍人们庆祝春节的方式,并结合所学知识,对比古今庆祝方式的差异。
In the past, people usually set off firecrackers and pasted Spring Festival couplets to welcome New Year. The Spring Festival is also a time for family members to get together. Most of the customs have been kept up, but setting off firecrackers has been banned in some places.That is because it can cause serious air pollution, which does great harm to people's health.
2.使用名言(New Year's Day is every man's birthday.)总结过去的一年,展望新的一年。
In the past year, although I have made some achievements, there are still some problems, of which the most serious one is procrastination. As the saying goes, “New Year's Day is every man's birthday.” In the new year, I am determined to get rid of this bad habit and form a good habit of planning ahead of time and attach more importance to efficiency to reshape a brand new ego.

Ways to Have a Joyful Chinese New Year
In many cultures, January 1st marks the beginning of a new year. 4 It is one of the most important occasions for family reunions.
Usually, the Chinese New Year celebration lasts for three weeks, starting from the 23rd day of the previous year's 12th month of the lunar calendar until the 15th day of the New Year.
Here are some centuries-old traditions shared by the Chinese community in order to promote blessings of health and wealth in the New Year.
•Spring cleaning. 5 It is widely believed that a freshly cleaned house will bring good luck to people.
• 6 People will make red paper cuts, Chinese characters or red lanterns that mean luck, happiness and blessing, and stick them onto doors and windows.
•Setting off fireworks.In fairy tales, people managed to scare away a monster named Year by setting off fireworks. 7
•Lucky money.Seniors give kids lucky money in red envelopes (信封), in the hope of making their future much brighter.
•Eating dumplings.The shape of a dumpling looks somewhat like a kind of money that was used in ancient times. 8 It is a custom to eat dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve as well as on the first and fifth days of the new year.
A.Making decorations.
B.Having preparations in advance.
C.The new year has two wonderful festivals.
D.Every family will clean the house one week ahead of the New Year.
E.In reality, the sound of fireworks can increase the festival atmosphere.
F.People believe the more dumplings you eat, the more wealth you will get during the new year.
G.But in the eyes of Chinese people, the traditional time of the new beginning is the Spring Festival.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何过一个快乐的中国新年。
4.选G 上文提到:在许多文化里,1月1日标志着新一年的开始,故G项“但在中国人眼里,新开始的传统时间是春节”与上文构成转折关系,符合语境。且选项中的“the Spring Festival”与下文的“It”相呼应。
5.选D 根据空前的“Spring cleaning.”可知,空处要提到大扫除。故D项“每个家庭都会在新年前一周打扫房子”符合语境,并与下文的“a freshly cleaned house”相呼应。
6.选A 空格处是本段主题句。空后一句提到:人们会用红色的剪纸、汉字或红灯笼来代表幸运、幸福和祝福,并把它们贴在门和窗户上。由此可知,本段主要讲的是人们会装饰房子,故A项“做装饰品”概括了本段内容,可作为主题句。
7.选E 空前一句提到:在童话故事中,人们通过燃放烟花来吓跑一只叫“年”的怪兽。空格处应讲在现实中的情况是什么。故E项“实际上,烟花的声音可以增加节日的气氛”承接上文,符合语境。
8.选F 空前一句提到:饺子的形状看起来有点像古代的一种钱。故F项“人们相信饺子吃得越多,在新的一年里你就会得到越多的财富”承接上文,符合语境。
