【语篇解读】　本文主要叙述了丹麦、墨西哥、菲律宾、厄瓜多尔这四个国家庆祝新年的方式。

但不论以哪种方式庆祝新年，人们都是期盼一个更美好、更幸福的来年。

1．PeoplegenerallycelebrateNewYear'sDayinthefollowingwaysexcept________.

A．sharingthetimewiththeirfamily

B．gettingtogetherwiththeirfriends

C．participatingintheballdrop

D．spendingthetimewiththeirlovers

【解析】　细节理解题。

根据首段“youprobablycelebrateNewYear'sDaytogetherwithyourfamilyandfriends,enjoyingdrinksandwatchingtheballdrop.”可知，你可能会和家人、朋友喝饮料并观看ballwatch一起庆祝新年，而不是参与（participatein）theballdrop，故选C项。

根据“Ifyou'relucky,perhapsyoushareakisswiththatspecialonewhentheclockhits00：

00am”可知，与爱人一起度过时间也是庆祝新年的方式之一。

【答案】　C

D．PeoplefromEcuadormakeandburnscarecrowstowingoodluckandhappiness.

【解析】　细节理解题。

由第三段“TaosInn,inNewMexicoforexample,offers15minutessessionofspiritualismanddeepthoughtfor$15.”可知，在Taos旅店人们并不是真的可以与已故的至爱之人的亡灵交流，故B项叙述不恰当。

由第二段“Thefamilywiththetallesttowerofbrokenplates,glasses,cupsandothercrockeryisconsideredtobetheluckiestpersonbecauseitsymbolizestheirlargecrowdofloyalfriends.”可知，在丹麦，谁家门口摔碎的盘子、杯子等越多，谁的朋友就越多，故A项叙述准确。

由第四段内容可知，菲律宾人认为穿着圆点图案的衣服会给他们带来财富，故C项符合原文意思。

根据第五段内容可知，在厄瓜多尔，人们会制作并焚烧稻草人以求带来好运和幸福，故D项内容与原文意思吻合。

【答案】　B
