【导语】本文讲述了刘家一家人在幸福谷小镇筹备、共度春节的温馨故事。
【详解】
1.句意:家人们欢聚一堂,满怀喜悦庆祝新年。
结合过年的背景逻辑,春节的核心活动是庆贺新年,celebrate“庆祝”符合行文逻辑。protect“保护”,check“检查”,rush“冲”,都和过年的场景不匹配。
2.句意:在幸福谷小镇,刘家一家人正在为这个盛大的日子做准备。
后文依次描写做饭、贴窗花、挂灯笼等节前琐事,get ready for“为……做准备”贴合上下文情节。giving up“放弃”,standing for“代表”,sailing away“远航”,和文章情节完全不符。
3.句意:她正在为家人准备美味的菜肴。
依据“Mrs. Liu is busy in the kitchen”厨房场景,dishes“菜肴”符合生活常识。stages“舞台”,sticks“木棍”,leaves“树叶”,不适合厨房做饭的语境。
4.句意:同时,全家人都在帮忙布置装饰。
后文提到奶奶、爸爸、孩子都参与装饰,the whole family“全家人”符合后文人物描写。scary“吓人的”,shocked“震惊的”,absent“缺席的”,无法体现全家一起忙活的状态。
5.句意:爸爸正在屋子四周挂红灯笼。
过年搭配红灯笼的固定行为是悬挂,hanging“悬挂”符合春节习俗搭配。treating“对待”,hoping“希望”,hitting“击打”,不能和red lanterns搭配使用。
6.句意:孩子们小明和小华真的特别激动。
用来修饰形容词excited,really“十分、真正地”贴合孩子期盼新年的心情逻辑。silently“安静地”,peacefully“平和地”,nervously“紧张地”,不符合孩童过年兴奋的情绪。
7.句意:到了晚上,刘家一家人围坐在一起吃团圆饭。
春节专属固定说法reunion dinner“团圆饭”符合传统习俗。pork“猪肉”,shape“形状”,dumpling“饺子”,无法和reunion搭配表达年夜饭。
8.句意:桌上摆着丰盛的大餐,饭菜香气与欢声笑语填满了整个屋子。
一家人聚餐的温馨氛围少不了欢声笑语,laughter“笑声”符合屋内热闹的氛围。speed“速度”,view“风景”,notebook“笔记本”,和聚餐场景毫无关联。
9.句意:这唤起了往年春节的回忆。
空格处和memories“回忆”搭配,brings back“使回忆起”符合词语搭配规则。goes out“外出”,takes over“接管”,looks around“四处张望”,不能与回忆搭配表意。
10.句意:绚烂的烟花点亮夜空,为这个夜晚画上句号。
能照亮天空的是烟花,fireworks“烟花”符合生活常识。events“事件”,volleyballs“排球”,cameras“相机”,不具备点亮夜空的特点。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了中国元宵节的重要性、时间、传统习俗。
【详解】
1.句意:对我们来说庆祝这个节日很重要。根据文章开头提到“The Lantern Festival is one of the biggest festivals in China.”,说明元宵节很重要,所以我们需要庆祝它。“to”后面接动词原形。故填celebrate。
2.句意:它意味着春节的最后一天。根据“It is on the 15th day of the first lunar month.”表明元宵节在农历正月十五,而春节通常从农历正月初一开始,到正月十五结束,所以元宵节意味着春节的最后一天。主语“it”是单数,所以动词用第三人称单数形式。故填means。
3.句意:在节日前几天,人们开始用竹子或纸制作灯笼。根据后文提到“There are many kinds of lanterns.”,说明在元宵节有很多灯笼,而这些灯笼需要人们提前制作,不是一盏灯笼,使用复数形式。故填lanterns。

6.句意:当人们制作灯笼时,他们通常在上面写谜语,并把它们挂在餐厅里。根据“hang sth in some place”表示把某物挂在某地,这是符合语境的动作。故填hang。
7.句意:元宵和饺子是元宵节的食物。根据常识和文化传统,元宵和饺子是元宵节常见的食物。表示一类食物,而不是指单个的饺子,所以dumplings用复数形式。故填dumplings。
8.句意:中国北方的人更喜欢饺子。这里是在比较不同地区的饮食偏好,北方人可能更倾向于吃饺子。故填prefer。
9.句意:节日不仅是人们短暂休息的时间,也是团聚的时间。因为节日通常是人们放下工作和日常事务,享受休息和欢乐的时刻。表示休息,使用名词break,故填break。
10.句意:人们聚在一起,聊天,大笑。团聚时人们会感到快乐和愉悦,大笑是表达快乐的一种方式。“laugh”是动词原形,与“talk”并列,描述人们的行为动作。故填laugh。
