()2. Jack is 8-year-old boy and he saw UFO in the forest near his home last Saturday evening.

A.a; an
B.an; a
C.a; the
D.an; an

B

不定冠词a用于辅音音素开头的单词前，an用于元音音素开头的单词前。8-year-old中8的读音以元音音素开头，故用an；UFO的读音以辅音音素开头，故用a。因此选B。

()3. Dad a big apple, cut it into halves and then let me eat a half.

A.clean
B.cleans
C.is cleaning
D.cleaned

D

句子中cut和let都是动词过去式，时态为一般过去时，空格处需用动词过去式，clean的过去式是cleaned，故选D。

A.Yes, they didn't

D

问句询问对音乐的看法，音乐是听觉相关，需用表示“听起来”的系动词。A.looks（看起来）、B.smells（闻起来）、C.tastes（尝起来）均不符合语境，D.sounds（听起来）符合，故选D。

()6. —What does the colour red in Chinese culture, Xiao Ning?
—In our culture, red is a symbol of good luck.

A.decorate
B.mean

B

问句询问红色在中国文化中的含义，答语说明红色是好运的象征，“mean”表示“意思是”，符合语境；A意为装饰，C意为携带，D意为关心，均不符合。

—I'm afraid it's . It's 5:50 p. m. now.

A.open; closed
B.opened; closed
C.open; closing
D.opening; closed

A

第一空，be动词后需用形容词作表语，open为形容词“开着的”，opened是动词过去式，opening是现在分词，故第一空填open；第二空，根据时间“5:50 p.m.”可知图书馆关门，be后用形容词closed，closing不符合语境，因此选A。

五、阅读理解
The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the first month of the lunar calendar. Ancient people also called it the Shangyuan Festival. Celebrations and traditions on this day began from the Han Dynasty(朝代) and became popular in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Watching the red lanterns is one of the main traditions. Lanterns of different shapes and sizes are usually put on trees or along river banks on show. It is said that sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming to ask for help when he was in trouble. Today, when the lanterns slowly rise into the air, people make wishes.
Another tradition is guessing lantern riddles. The riddles are usually short, wise, and sometimes humorous. The answer to a riddle can be a Chinese character(汉字), a famous person's name, or a place's name.
The most important thing is to eat sweet dumplings with different tastes. In northern China, they are called yuanxiao while in southern parts they're named tangyuan. Making sweet dumplings is like a game or an activity, so they are usually done happily by a group of friends or family members.
In old times, the Lantern Festival was also romantic(浪漫的). Watching lanterns gave young people a chance to meet each other. A line from Xin Qiji, a poet during the Song Dynasty, shows this: Hundreds and thousands of times I looked for her in the crowd. Suddenly I turned my head, and there she stood, in the dim(昏暗的) light.
