这是一篇介绍中西方文化差异的选词填空题，结合语境、词形变换规则逐一推导：
11. 句意：中国文化是世界上最古老的文化之一，充满了传统和习俗。and后并列的customs是名词复数，提示此处填tradition的复数形式traditions。
12. 句意：中国的很多事物都有特殊的含义。此处用形容词special修饰名词meanings，符合语境。
13. 句意：它们（龙）出现在很多地方，甚至在名字和成语中。主语They指代龙，时态为一般现在时，填动词原形appear。
14. 句意：中国人称自己为龙的传人。此处指代主语Chinese people本身，用them的反身代词themselves。
15. 句意：你可以在节日期间看到红色装饰。介词during表示“在……期间”，符合语境。
16. 句意：在中国，有些数字是幸运的，因为它们的读音和其他有积极含义的汉字相近。后文列举多个吉利数字，提示此处填number的复数形式numbers。
17. 句意：“六”听起来像“顺”，代表事情进展顺利。固定搭配go well表示“进展顺利”，此处用good的副词形式well修饰动词go。
18. 句意：“二”是幸运的，因为中国人相信好事成双。固定搭配in pairs表示“成双成对”，填pair的复数pairs。
19. 句意：相反，“四”听起来像“死”，所以一些人尽量避免使用它。此处作介词like的宾语，用die的名词形式death。
20. 句意：比如在美国，“七”是幸运的，然而“十三”不是。连词while用于对比两个事物，符合语境。

三、补全对话。
请阅读下面对话，根据对话内容从下面方框内的七个选项中选择五个填入空白处，使对话通顺、合理，意思完整。一空一句。
(Alice and Mike are talking at school. A=Alice, M=Mike)
A: Hi, Mike! The Spring Festival is coming. 1.
M: Sure, I'd love to. I really want to know something about the Spring Festival.
A: 2. Then you can learn more about it.
M: That's a good idea. What should we do for it?
A: 3. I need to buy some fish, meat and vegetables.
M: OK. I wonder why Chinese people usually eat fish on Chinese New Year's Eve.
A: 4. It symbolizes having a rich life.
M: Well, I see. I expect to learn more about Chinese culture.
A: 5.
M: I can't agree more.
A. Let's go shopping first.
B. Do you like eating fish?
C. What are you going to do?
D. Why don't we prepare for the dinner together?
E. Because fish has a special meaning in Chinese.
F. Would you like to come to my home for dinner?
G. The more Chinese culture you know, the more you will enjoy living in China.

1.F 2.D 3.A 4.E 5.G

我们结合对话上下文逻辑逐一匹配选项：
1. 空后Mike的回答"Sure, I'd love to."是对邀请的回应，对应F选项"Would you like to come to my home for dinner?"，符合语境。
2. 空后提到这样就能了解更多春节相关内容，且后文Mike询问要做什么准备，对应D选项"Why don't we prepare for the dinner together?"，提出合理建议，衔接自然。
3. 空后Alice提到需要购买鱼、肉和蔬菜，对应A选项"Let's go shopping first."，前后内容完全呼应。
4. 空前Mike询问中国人除夕常吃鱼的原因，E选项"Because fish has a special meaning in Chinese."直接回应原因，和后文提到的象征富足的表述衔接通顺。
5. 空后Mike表示完全赞同，G选项"The more Chinese culture you know, the more you will enjoy living in China."和前文Mike想要了解更多中国文化的内容呼应，逻辑合理。
剩余的B、C选项不符合对话逻辑，直接排除。
