Almost all cultures celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another in some way. Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar.
In Western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on December 31st—January 1st. People may go to parties, sometimes dressed in formal clothes, and they may drink champagne (香槟酒) at midnight. During the first minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sunrise. They welcome the new year with the first light of the sunrise.
Many cultures also do special things to get rid of bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes. The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the new year can start afresh (重新). Other common traditions to keep away bad luck in a new year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying special things on the first day of the new year.
Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck in the new year. One widespread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Year’s Day. The more grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the year. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck in the New Year.

【导语】本文介绍了中国的新年及一些习俗。
26．句意：其中中国的春节是最重要的一个。
a一个（可代替任意单数量词，一般与one替换），用于辅音音素前；an一个，一类人或事物中非特指的任何一（个），用于元音音素前；the这个，与形容词最高级和序数词连用等。根据句意，中国的春节是最重要的一个，最高级要加the，故选C。
27．句意：中国人通常有七天的假期。
seven days七天；seven-day七天的；seven-days错误形式。根据holiday是名词，前面要用合成词，seven-day是正确表示方式，有个7天的假期，故选B。
28．句意：节日前，人们必须打扫房屋并冲走不好的东西。
up向上；down向下；away离开。根据语境，应该是驱赶坏事情，wash away意为“冲走”。故选C。
29．句意：在春节的第一天，人们穿上新衣服，出去玩，拜访一些亲戚。
relative亲戚；some relative错误形式；some relatives一些亲戚。relative是可数名词单数形式，根据语境，拜访一些亲戚，要用复数形式。故选C。

32．句意：他们随着音乐唱歌，与朋友共享照片或观看正在电影院放映的最新电影。
along沿着；for为；by由。sing songs along with music意为“随着音乐唱歌”。故选A。

People may go to parties, sometimes dressed in formal clothes, and they may drink champagne (香槟酒) at midnight. During the first minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sunrise.
