【解析】

本文講述了二十四節(jié)氣中的春分，它在中國和世界上其他許多國家都很重要。

【1】句意：它不僅在中國很重要，在世界其他許多國家也很重要。

countries國家；cities城市；villages農(nóng)村。根據(jù)下文中“It is a public holiday in Japan.In Iran, it is known as the Iranian New Year.”可知，春分是日本的公共假日，在伊朗，這被稱為伊朗新年，所以春分在世界其他許多國家也很重要。故選A。

【2】句意：春分是人們外出的最佳時(shí)間。

stay at home待在家里；go outside去外面；balance eggs平衡雞蛋。根據(jù)下文中“The adults can admire flowers and the children can fly kites in the open air.”可知，大人們可以欣賞花朵，孩子們可以在戶外放風(fēng)箏，這都屬于戶外活動，所以春分是人們外出的最佳時(shí)間。故選B。

【3】句意：通常保持一個雞蛋平衡是困難的。

easy容易的；important 重要的；difficult困難的。根據(jù)下文中“But on the Spring Equinox, it is believed that there are some special forces that can help.”可知，但在春分這一天，人們相信有一些特殊的力量可以幫助保持雞蛋平衡，所以此處是“通常保持雞蛋平衡是困難的”。故選C。

【4】句意：如果你有足夠的耐心，你可以在一年中的任何一天，讓雞蛋保持平衡。

If如果；Whether是否；Unless除非。根據(jù)上文中“However, this isn’t true.”可知，在春分這一天，有一些特殊的力量可以幫助保持雞蛋平衡是不真實(shí)的，所以此處是“如果你有耐心，你就能夠使雞蛋保持平衡”。故選A。

【5】句意：但對于人們來說，在春分時(shí)平衡雞蛋仍然是一個有趣的傳統(tǒng)。

change變化；examination測試；tradition傳統(tǒng)。根據(jù)上文中“Besides, there are also activities that have been kept over centuries, such as balancing eggs.”可知，在春分時(shí)，平衡雞蛋屬于持續(xù)了幾個世紀(jì)的活動，所以平衡雞蛋屬于傳統(tǒng)。故選C。
