【2】B

【3】D

【4】C

【5】A

【解析】

本文講述的是一個中國最重要的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日，那就是春節(jié)。在春節(jié)期間，除夕夜的年夜飯是很重要的，一家人往往都會在家里聚餐。第二天是新年的第一天，人們都會上街閑逛，然后相互祝福。

【1】句意：從1980年開始，就開始慶祝這個節(jié)日。

考查動詞辨析。congratulated祝賀；happened發(fā)生；celebrated慶祝；appeared出現(xiàn)。根據(jù)前文“the Spring Festival is celebrated not only in China but also in other parts of the world”可知春節(jié)不止是在中國慶祝，還會在世界上其他地方慶祝，所以此處同樣用動詞celebrated，故選C。

【2】句意：他們唱歌，隨著音樂跳舞，與朋友分享照片或做一些愉快的事情。

考查介詞。on在…上面；to去，到；in在…里面；with和…一起。由題干可知，dance和music構(gòu)成了固定搭配dance to music，表示隨著音樂跳舞，符合句意，故選B。

【3】句意：此外，春節(jié)已經(jīng)成為生活在美國的中國人的一個關(guān)鍵時間。

考查非謂語動詞。live意為“居住”。根據(jù)前方的介詞for可知，介詞后面的動詞都要用ing的形式，故選D。

【4】句意：無論是在新加坡出生的中國人，還是從中國移民到新加坡的中國人，除夕夜的家庭聚餐都是一個重要的傳統(tǒng)。

考查賓語從句。if如果；weather天氣；whether是否；though盡管。根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處是由一般疑問句充當賓語從句，所以可以用if或whether來引導(dǎo)，又因后文由or表示選擇時，只能用whether來引導(dǎo)，故選C。

【5】句意：他們通常在家里舉行，因為在餐館舉行會讓傳統(tǒng)失去意義。

考查名詞。home家；outdoors戶外；restaurant餐廳；party派對。本句中they指代的是前文的The family dinner，又因后文提到在餐廳舉行會失去意義，所以可以推測出是在家里舉行，故選A。
