[解析]
(1)推理判断题。根据上文In China,people in different areas have their own ways to celebrate the Spring Festival.Especially between Northern China and Southern China,there are many differences. (在中国,桐地区的人们有自己的方式庆祝春节。特别是在中国北方和南方之间,存在着许多差异),结合下文开始提到这些差异。可知A选项(这里有一些例子)可以承上启下,符合语境。故选A。
(2)推理判断题。根据上文For luck,people may put sugar in dumplings. (为了好运,人们可能会在饺子里放糖),可知空格处可以解释放糖到饺子里的原因。F选项(这样,他们相信明年的生活将是甜蜜的")符合语境,sweet和sugar相呼应。故选F。
(3)推理判断题。根据上文For example,Northern China grows lots of wheat (小麦) while Southern China grows lots of rice. (中国北方种植大量小麦,而中国南方种植大量水稻)和下文People in Northern China usually love food made by wheat. (中国北方人通常喜欢小麦做的食物),可知空格处应该描述南方人喜欢吃大米做成的食物。E选项(因此,中国南方人通常更喜欢大米)符合语境。故选E。
(4)段落主题题。根据下文In Northern China,people often put up paper cuttings on windows to wish for happiness of the coming year.In many parts of the south,people no longer put up paper cuttings for the Spring Festival.Instead,they decorate their house with a kumquat (金橘) tree bearing fruit(在中国北方,人们经常在窗户上贴剪纸,以祝来年幸福。在南方的许多地方,人们不再为春节贴剪纸。相反,他们用一棵结果实的金橘树来装饰房子),可知本段描述的是南方北方新年的时候装饰物的差异。空格处位于段首,是主题句。G选项(中国的北方和南方在新年装饰上也有差异。)符合语境。故选G。
(5)细节理解题。根据上文It's true that Northern China and Southern China have differences in celebrating the Spring Festival (诚然,中国北方和南方在庆祝春节方面存在差异)和下文After all,many Chinese are moving from one place to another(毕竟,许多中国人正在从一个地方搬到另一个地方)推知,因为人们的迁徙,南北方在庆祝春节方面的差异会缩小。可知D选项(但这些差异正在逐渐消失)中的differences和前一句中的differences属于同词复现。故选D。
