【解析】

中国的春节就要来了，玲一家人正在为迎接新年做准备。

【1】句意：玲知道中国的日历上有12种动物。

考查名词辨析及语境。flowers花；pictures图片；animals动物；trees树。根据下句话 “Every year had an animal symbol.”和我们的常识可知，中国有12生肖，也就是12种动物。故选C。

【2】句意：玲的爸爸正在粉刷他们的客厅来迎接新年。

考查动词辨析及语境。see看见；welcome欢迎；迎接；meet遇见；receive收到。短文开头 “Ling and her family were getting ready for the Chinese New Year.”提到“玲和家人在准备中国的新年”，所以粉刷客厅是为了迎接新年的到来。故选B。

【3】句意：她说：“八是幸运的。”

考查形容词辨析及语境。lucky幸运的；happy开心的；funny滑稽的，有趣的；lovely可爱的。根据常识可知，“八”这个数字在中国文化里是一个幸运数字。故选A。

【4】句意：但是当她再看的时候，它不动了。

考查动词辨析及语境。saw看见；heard听到；looked看；看起来；listened听。根据上句话Ling thought she saw the monkey look up at her可知，玲看到了一个猴子，故这里表示“再看”，空后没有宾语，故用不及物动词looked。故选C。

【5】句意：她妈妈说：“在除夕夜和新年那天我们要穿新衣服。”

考查动词辨析及语境。make制作；wash洗；take带走；wear穿。根据空后our new clothes以及下句话“You can wear your red dress then.”可知，这里表示“穿新衣服”。故选D。

这篇短文讲述的是玲一家人为春节的到来做准备。短文是记叙文，叙述清晰，内容贴近学生们的日常生活，比较容易理解。题型是完型填空，考查学生们在具体语境中运用语言的能力，综合性较强。做题时，应先通读全文，了解大意；然后根据上下文语境做题，注意空前后的搭配，并仔细辨析选项中单词的意思和用法；最后将答案代入原文，再读一遍，检查是否正确。例如第1小题，考查名词辨析及语境。flowers花；pictures图片；animals动物；trees树。根据下句话 “Every year had an animal symbol.”和我们的常识可知，中国有12生肖，也就是12种动物。故选C。再如第5小题，考查动词辨析及语境。make制作；wash洗；take带走；wear穿。根据空后our new clothes以及下句话“You can wear your red dress then.”可知，这里表示“穿新衣服”。故选D。
