1 . My hometown is in a county (县) called Yongtai which is in Fuzhou of southern China.

Several days before the Chinese New Year, every family starts to prepare for the celebration. First of all, we do the spring-cleaning to welcome a new and clean year.     1    . They post the Chinese character Fu which is often attached upside down to show that Fu is arriving.

    2    . We don’t have jiaozi but tangyuan which is a kind of round and white food indicating the family reunion (团圆). We also eat sticky rice balls called niangao.     3    , because fish in Chinese is pronounced the same as Yu, which means surplus and fortune.

    4    , as they get “lucky money” from senior members of the family and they love the fireworks display (表演).

On the first day of the Chinese New Year, fathers will set off fireworks to “wake up the Chinese New Year”; mothers start to prepare a big breakfast.     5    . We cannot knock at other people’s doors to wake them up as it will bring bad luck to them.

On the first day just family members spend time together. From the second day on, every family will start to welcome the visitors and they can enjoy the get-together time, which is really nice.

A．My favourite dishes are niangao and fish

B．Children will stay up late on New Year’s Eve

C．A fish dish is a necessity on the table every year

D．The next step is to prepare food for the New Year’s Eve dinner

E．After the spring-cleaning, every family starts to decorate their house

F．When the evening of New Year’s Eve comes, children will be very excited

G．Everyone should wake up by themselves and appear at the table in their new clothes

9 . The Chinese word“Shanzhai”means a small mountain village, but now it becomes an accepted name for fakes, after “Shanzhai Cell­phones” produced by small workshops in southern China became popular in the mainland market over the past two years. Besides “Shanzhai” electronic products, there are “Shanzhai” movies, “Shanzhai” stars and even a “Shanzhai” Spring Festival Gala, a copy of the 25­year­old traditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Year’s Eve.

“Shanzhai” has become a culture of its own, meaning anything that imitates something famous. In Chongqing, “Shanzhai” version “Bird’s Nest” and “Water Cube” woven by farmers with bamboo attract wide attention from tourists.Both are copies of the famous Olympic buildings in Beijing.

A literature critic said that taking the “Shanzhai” Gala as an example, when the traditional CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience, the “Shanzhai” version appears timely to attract people. “Although it is often connected with poor techniques and operation, “Shanzhai” culture meets the psychological needs of common people and could be a comfort to their minds,” he said.

To the mainstream(主流)culture, the rise of “Shanzhai” culture is a challenge and a motivation(推动). People believe different kinds of cultures developing together is a perfect way and it is for the public to choose.

1. The Chinese word“Shanzhai”may have started with ________.

A．fake cell­phones	B．electronic products

C．anything that are copies of something famous

A．is held back by“Shanzhai”culture

B．is the challenge of“Shanzhai”culture

C．will be replaced by“Shanzhai”culture
