The Lantern Festival is coming. How will you celebrate it? Some of you might go to the Yuyuan Garden lantern fair. The Jiuqu Bridge is lined with lanterns of the dragon and its animal friends. The area is crowded with visitors. Everyone wants to take pictures.
Do you know how these colourful lanterns are made? He Weifu has the answer. He is a skilled lantern maker in Shanghai. To make a lantern, he first straightens some iron wires(铁丝) and covers them with coloured paper. Then, He uses them to make the skeleton(骨架) for an animal lantern. This, according to He, is the most difficult step. He often spends a long time studying the animal. After making the skeleton, He puts paste(糨糊) on silk cloth to stiffen(使变得硬挺) it. The last step is to glue the cloth on the skeleton and draw patterns.
His family has been making lanterns for many years. His grandfather, He Keming, was the "King of Lanterns" in the Jiangnan area. He Keming started making lanterns at the age of 13. One day, he went to see a Lantern Festival show. A dragon lantern caught the boy's eye. He looked at it carefully and tried to make one for himself. He practised this craft all his life. His lanterns were very popular. Some of them were given as national gifts to visitors from other countries.

解析
【分析】
这是一篇介绍传统灯笼制作技艺的说明文阅读，解题时可以按照题型逐一对应原文定位：1. 第一题问作者引入话题的方式，直接回看开篇段落内容，判断作者是用场景描写还是其他方式引出主题；2. 第二题理解划线句含义，直接看划线句的前一句提出的问题，结合后文对何伟福手艺人身份的介绍就能推导含义；3. 第三到第四题都是细节题，直接带着题干关键词回原文找对应语句，就能匹配正确选项；4. 第五题判断段落写作目的，重点看最后一段的总结呼吁句，提炼核心表意即可选出答案。
【解析】
1. 细节判断：文章第一段描绘了元宵节豫园灯会九曲桥挂满生肖灯笼、游客扎堆打卡拍照的热闹场景，以此引出灯笼制作技艺的核心话题，没有使用列数字、作对比、做调查的方式，因此选B，排除A、C、D。
2. 推理判断：划线句的前一句提出问题“你知道这些彩色的灯笼是如何制作的吗”，后文紧接着介绍何伟福是上海资深的灯笼手艺人，说明“何伟福有答案”指的是他知晓这些灯笼的制作方法，因此选C，其余选项表述均不符合上下文逻辑。
3. 细节查找：原文第二段明确表述“Then, He uses them to make the skeleton for an animal lantern. This, according to He, is the most difficult step.”，说明制作动物灯笼的骨架是整个流程里最难的步骤，对应选项D。
4. 细节查找：原文第三段直接给出信息“He Keming started making lanterns at the age of 13.”，和A选项表述完全一致；B选项文中未提及何克明教何伟福做灯笼的相关内容，C选项他的灯笼甚至被作为国礼送给外宾，并非仅在豫园受欢迎，D选项文中没有提到免费为其他国家制作龙灯的表述，因此排除错误选项选A。
5. 主旨推断：最后一段末尾呼吁读者了解灯笼制作工艺，思考如何让这项文化遗产存续传承，核心目的是号召人们传承灯笼制作这项传统技艺，对应A选项，其余选项的投票选灯、鼓励看灯展、售卖灯笼均不符合原文表意。
