你最喜歡的節(jié)日是哪一個？這篇短文中給我們介紹了來自不同地方的四位同學(xué)們的觀點。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題目中的人名Sandy我們可以定位到短文第二段，根據(jù)My favorite holiday is the Mid-Autumn festival.可知，Sandy最喜歡的節(jié)日是中秋節(jié)，故應(yīng)選A。

【2】詞義猜測題。在原文中I always visit my grandfather and grandmother, and we always go to the same restaurant on the mountain to hold jubilation(舉行慶�；顒�).這個單詞有注釋，意為“慶�；顒印�，與celebration同義，故應(yīng)選B。

【3】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)劃線單詞所在的語境My name is Pat. My favorite holiday is Songkran. It takes place from the 13th to 15th of April. On the holiday people pour water on each other.可知，這個詞是一個節(jié)日的名稱，文章提到在這個節(jié)日里人們互相潑水，由此可知這是“潑水節(jié)”，故應(yīng)選D。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題目中節(jié)日的名稱Deepavali我們課定位到短文第四段，根據(jù)To celebrate it, we also eat sweets and delicious food, wear new clothes, and give presents to our friends and relatives.可知，在這個節(jié)日里，人們吃糖果和美味的食物，穿新衣，給朋友和親戚送禮物。由此可知應(yīng)選D。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)題目中的人名Zhenia可以定位到短文第三段，根據(jù)標(biāo)題中Zhenia from Ukraine says可知，Zhenia來自烏克蘭，故應(yīng)選C。
