A.duckB.dumplingsC.Lajmayin D.pork【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第一段的“MyauntpreparessometraditionalChinesedishes,suchasduck,chicken,fish,pork...‘dumplings’”可知,Miang的阿姨会做鸡、鸭、肉、鱼、水饺,而根据文章最后一句“WeusuallyeatArabianfood(kibbe,Lajmayinandsoon).”可知,Lajmayin是阿拉伯食物。5.WecaninferthatFatherFrostandSnegoorochkamostprobablyare______.

A.present-sellers B.Zhenia’srelativesC.charactersintales D.fatheranddaughter【解析】选C。推理判断题。第三段讲述的是过新年的情境,根据“HecomesatnightandputshispresentsundertheNewYearTree.”可推断FatherFrost和Snegoorochka并不是现实中真正给别人送礼物的人,而只是故事里的人物,故选C。6.BesidesPat,whoelsemostprobablycelebratesSongkran?A.Janine.B.Malena.C.Zhenia.D.Miang.【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据Pat的叙述可知Songkran是泰国的传统节日,而根据Miang的叙述可推断:Miang也来自泰国,故他最有可能也过这个节日。7.Accordingtothepassage,whatisthemainreasonwhyJaninelovesChristmas?A.Becausethereisalotoffun.B.Becauseshedoesn’tgotoschool.C.Becauseshecangetalotofpresents.D.Becauseshecanstaywithherfamily.【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据“IloveChristmasmainlybecauseofholiday!”可知Janine喜欢圣诞节的主要原因是圣诞节放假。Ⅱ.阅读填句TheThanksgivingDayhasbeenaliveforhundredsofyears.Thecustomsweseeinourhomestodayremindusofancientcelebrationsofharvest,thankfulnessforpeace,andthehardworkofNativeAmericans.Itismadeupofstoriesofthosewhobelievethatthanksforblessingsarewhatpeoplemustown.1.Haveyouwantedtomakespecialgifts?
