One, two, three, which is lucky? Red, yellow, blue…which is lucky? Do you know lucky number and lucky color?
When we talk about the lucky color in China, we will think it is red. 5
It is said the red can drive bad spirits away, so Chinese people like to buy red firecrackers (鞭炮) and other things before the Spring Festival. 6 For example, they will buy some red paper, red paper bags, red books, red clothes and so on. In some celebrations, we can also see red things everywhere.
Some numbers are considered lucky while some are not for Chinese. Even numbers (偶数) are considered to be lucky numbers except 4. 7 Chinese like the number 8 most because it sounds like fa. 8

6.根据“It is said the red can drive bad spirits away, so Chinese people like to buy red firecrackers and other things before the Spring Festival.”及“For example, they will buy some red paper, red paper bags…red clothes and so on.”可知,前文提到春节前人们买红色物品,后文举例红色物品类型,此空应补充红色在其他场合的应用。选项A“婚礼前,人们会为新人准备一些红色物品。”提到红色在婚礼中的使用,与春节场景并列,且衔接后文的举例,符合语境。故选A。
7.根据“Even numbers are considered to be lucky numbers except 4.”可知,指出除4外的偶数是幸运数字,接下来应解释4不被视为幸运数字的原因。选项E“数字4在中文里听起来像‘死’。”说明了4不吉利的原因,承接上文对数字4的特殊说明,符合语境。故选E。

I go to an international school with Sanan and Chinda. 18 I’m good at the spoken language, but Thai writing is very difficult. The cooking class is my favourite. I’m learning about Thai food and culture. When I come back, I will cook you a real Thai meal.
Last weekend I went to Pattaya Beach with Sanan and Chinda by car. I thought it was great. Next month we will go to Phuket Island. My parents went there last year. 19 Now Chinda is teaching me how to swim. I hope I can swim happily with her on Phuket Island.

Passage 2
25-26八年级上·辽宁省铁岭里仁学校 ·期中
Have you heard about “Survival (生存) Holidays”? “Survival Holidays” is for children to go into a lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,100 companies are asked to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.
Why do people like “Survival Holidays”? It is because they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. 45
Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. 46 Parents care too much about their children.
