14、及由来等，引导学生关注人际交往礼仪，建立文化自信。解析：1关联逻辑法解题。由空格前的“The party is a chance for.”及空格后的“And it is a good time to.”可推断该空格也应该是讲聚会的好处，故选E项“它也给人们一个去看看新房子的样子的机会。”。2设题位置法解题。空格位于第二段句首， 结合本段内容可知，空格处应与聚会时所带礼物有关，故选B项“带礼物去乔迁聚会是传统。”。先提出应该带礼物，后面讲述如何选礼物等。3词汇锁定法解题。空格后的this是关键信息词。由since后的内容可知，在乔迁聚会时供应的食物不多，由此可判断this是指带食物去参加聚会，

15、故选C项“你也可以带食物或饮料与其他客人分享。”。4关联逻辑法解题。空格前提到，有时候，因为某人刚刚搬进新家就举行乔迁聚会，所以参加聚会的人有可能要帮忙拆包物品。能与此语意承接的只有A项“但这种情况并不常见。”。A项中的this指的是客人帮主人拆包物品。5关联逻辑法解题。上文说很久以前人们带木柴去新家作为礼物，由此可判断G项“这样主人就可以在冬天的时候使家里保持温暖。”与此语意吻合。即过去人们送木柴做礼物是为了让主人取暖过冬。.完形填空It isnt every day that people from two different cultures are brought together t
