【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文講述中國(guó)最著名傳統(tǒng)的節(jié)日，春節(jié)。講述了中國(guó)人慶祝春節(jié)的方式，長(zhǎng)輩要給小孩們壓歲錢(qián)；大年三十要守歲，初一要拜年等等一些慶祝方式。

1.句意：通常持續(xù)15天。Last for“持續(xù)”，主語(yǔ)是it，因此last要用單三形式。故答案為lasts。

2.句意：不同的中國(guó)人的慶祝方式也許會(huì)有點(diǎn)不同，但是人們的愿望是一樣的。聯(lián)系上下文，可知是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。故答案為but。

3.句意：壓歲錢(qián)是自己的父母和祖父母給孩子的。Lucky money與kids是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，因此要用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。故答案為given。

4.句意：中國(guó)人認(rèn)為紅色是幸運(yùn)的顏色，會(huì)給人們帶來(lái)好的運(yùn)氣。根據(jù)題意，修飾名詞color要用形容詞。故答案為lucky。

5.句意：在豐盛的年飯過(guò)后，家人們坐在一起等著春晚的到來(lái)。結(jié)合句意，可知春節(jié)是家人團(tuán)聚的時(shí)刻。故答案為together。

6.句意：大年初一時(shí)，每個(gè)人都穿上新衣服擺放自己的親戚朋友，送上最美好的祝愿。過(guò)年每個(gè)人都會(huì)穿新衣，都會(huì)拜年。故答案為everyone。

7.句意：在中國(guó)的一些村莊，村民們的親戚很多，因此他們可能會(huì)花上兩周多時(shí)間拜訪自己的親屬。因?yàn)橛H戚多所以耗時(shí)長(zhǎng)。是因果關(guān)系，故答案為so。

8.句意：因?yàn)榘菰L親戚朋友會(huì)花費(fèi)很多時(shí)間，因此現(xiàn)在一些忙碌的人會(huì)寄送賀卡代替親自拜訪。Pay a visit“拜訪”，故答案為visit。

考點(diǎn)：短文填空。
