分析 本文讲述了外国留学生在中国过春节的经历以及他们各自对中国的春节的印象和看法．
解答 41．Celebrating；考查非谓语动词，此处用动名词形式在句中作主语．
42．where；考查定语从句，分析句子成分可知这是一个定语从句，关系词在从句中作抽象地点状语，故用关系副词where．
43．eaten；考查分词作定语，a traditional food和动词eat之间是动宾关系，故用过去分词形式作后置定语．
44．Besides；考查连词，分析句意为"除了饺子，春节还可以逛庙会，挂红灯…"，故用besides表示"除…之外还…"．
45．an 46．planned 47．deeply 48．translator 49．was sent 50．expression
45．an；考查冠词，Egyptian student at the same university是Bayomy的同位语，此处泛指"一个埃及学生"，Egyptian以元音因素开头．故填an．
46．planned；考查动词的时态．句意：她计划星期天去朝阳公园赶庙会．由said可知，主句是一般过去时，根据主从句时态一致原则，从句也使用一般过去时．故填planned．
47．deeply；考查副词．此处用副词deeply作状语修饰动词depressed．
48．translator；考查名词．a British 8 （translate） In Beijing是Marie的同位语，解释说明Marie是一个在北京的英国翻译家．故填translator．
49．was sent；考查动词的被动语态．send与主语Marie是被动关系，由时间状语on Thursday可知，本句描述过去发生的事情，且主语是第三人称单数．故填was sent．
50．expression；考查名词．句意：这些对联表达了对未来的希望，包含着中国精神"和谐"．冠词修饰名词．故填expression．
