Dear Mr. Smith,

In you letter, you asked me about the Chinese Spring Festival. Now I’d like tell you something about it.

The Chinese Spring Festival came on the first day of the Chinese Lunar New Year, when is usually in late January or February. There is a name for each year, such as the dog, the monkey, the tiger and one of the twelve animals, and this year is the year of the dog.

After the Spring Festival, the Chinese people usually give their houses a good cleaning. On the eve of the Spring Festival, all the member of a family will get together, eating dumplings, fish and meat and parents may give children some luck money in red paper. On the first day of the New Year, there is dragon dances and carnivals. People usually go to visit at their relatives and friends, which is a good way to express their best wishes to the coming year.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua

Answer

【解析】

本文是一封电子邮件。文章介绍中国的节日——春节。

1.考查固定搭配。固定搭配：would like to do sth.故在tell前加to。

2.考查时态。句意：中国的春节是在中国农历新年的第一天，通常是在一月下旬或二月。结合句意可知句子用一般现在时态，且主语是The Chinese Spring Festival，单数第三人称，故把came改成comes。

3.考查定语从句。句意：中国的春节是在中国农历新年的第一天，通常是在一月下旬或二月。此处the first day of the Chinese Lunar New Year是先行词，指物，在后面的非限制性定语从句中作主语，且that不能引导非限制性定语从句，故答案为which。

4.考查并列连词。句意：每年都有一个名字，如狗，猴子，老虎或十二种动物之一，今年是狗年。结合句意可知此处表示“选择”，故把and改成or。

5.考查介词。句意：春节前，中国人通常会把他们的房子好好打扫一下。结合句意可知此处把After改成Before。

6.考查名词复数。句意：所有的家庭成员都会聚集在一起。根据all可知后面的名词用复数形式，故把member改成members。

7.考查形容词。句意：父母可能会给孩子一些红包。此处是形容词修饰名词，故把luck改成lucky。

8.考查主谓一致。句意：有舞龙和狂欢节。此处是there be句型，dragon dances and carnivals是句子主语，故把is改成are。

9.考查专有名词。New Year“新年”是专有名词，故把the去掉。
