()5. —Happy New Year, Simon!
—.

A.Thanks. The same to you
B.Oh, I don't think so
C.No, I am not happy at all
D.Really? Thank you

5. A 【点拨】上句意为"祝你新年快乐,西蒙",下句意为"谢谢你,同样祝福你"。故选A。

【分析】这是一道英语情景交际题，解题思路为：先明确上句是节日祝福的语境，需选择既表达感谢又回祝对方的礼貌回应；再逐一分析选项，排除不符合语境的选项，确定正确答案。
【解析】上句“Happy New Year, Simon!”是向西蒙送上新年祝福的用语。A选项“Thanks. The same to you”既表达了对祝福的感谢，又回祝对方新年快乐，符合节日祝福的回应习惯；B选项“Oh, I don't think so”用于表达不同意他人观点，与语境不符；C选项“No, I am not happy at all”传递负面情绪，不符合节日祝福的积极语境；D选项“Really? Thank you”仅表达感谢，未回祝对方，不符合日常交际礼仪。因此正确答案为A。
【答案】A
【知识点】情景交际、日常用语
【点评】本题考查日常节日祝福的交际用语，属于基础题型，重点考查学生对英语礼貌用语的运用能力，难度较低。

【解析】
1. 空格前是ladies（女士们），对应gentleman的复数形式，故填gentlemen。
2. 空格前是形容词wonderful and interesting，需填名词，traditional的名词是tradition，此处泛指多种传统，用复数形式，故填traditions。
3. 此处是“疑问词+不定式”结构（how to do sth），故填to celebrate。
4. 空格前是介词in，需填地点名词，Italian是形容词，对应的国家名词是Italy，故填Italy。
5. 情态动词must后接动词原形，结合语境“你必须小心”，故填look out。
6. onions与hang是主动关系，用现在分词作定语，故填hanging。
