【分析】
本题是围绕“代表中国的文化符号”展开的任务型阅读题，解题思路如下：1. 第一部分需匹配中国文化符号与人名，结合常见的中国文化核心符号（长城、龙、饺子）即可对应；2. 第二部分是根据固定谚语、春节文化常识及词汇含义填空，需积累相关英文表达和文化知识；3. 第三部分为开放性写作，需选择一个中国文化符号，从外形、特点、意义等方面写不少于5句话的短文，体现对中国文化的认知。
【解析】
一、Read and write：根据中国文化符号的常见对应，三个核心文化符号分别为长城、龙、饺子，故答案依次为the Great Wall、the dragon、dumplings。
二、Read and complete：
1. 固定谚语“不到长城非好汉”的英文表达为“He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man”，故填reach；true。
2. 春节时常见的红色物品有春联（couplets）、灯笼（lanterns），人们会穿红色衣物，故填couplets；lanterns；clothes。
3. “望子成龙”中“龙”象征成功，此处需形容词修饰“dragons”，故填successful。
4. 饺子在中国文化中寓意幸福（happiness）和团圆（reunion），故填happiness；reunion。
三、Think and write：选择熊猫作为代表中国的文化符号，从生存地、外形、特点、意义等方面组织语言，写出符合要求的短文，示例如下：In my eyes, pandas represent China. Pandas live in China. They're the treasure of China. They are fat and cute. They have a small tail and a fat body. They are black and white. Their favourite food is bamboo. We can see pandas in the zoos in China. Do you like pandas?
