(A)

A housewarming party is a special party to be held when someone buys or moves into a new apartment or house.The person who bought the house or moved is the one who throws the party.The party is a chance for friends and family to congratulate the person on the new home. 1  And it is a good time to fill the new space with love and hopefully presents. 
 2  Some people register a list of things they want or need for their new home at a local store or stores.Some common things people will put on a gift registry include kitchen tools like knives and things like curtains.Even if there isn’t a registry,a good housewarming gift is something to decorate the new house with,like a piece of art or a plant. 
 3  This is often appreciated since at a housewarming there isn’t a lot of food served.There are usually no planned activities like games at a housewarming party.The host or hostess of the party will,however,probably give all the guests a tour of their new home.Sometimes,because a housewarming party happens shortly after a person moves into their new home,people may be asked to help unpack boxes. 4  
Housewarming parties get their name from the fact that a long time ago people would actually bring firewood to a new home as a gift. 5  Now most homes have central heating and don’t use fires to keep warm. 
A.This isn’t usual though.
B.It is traditional to bring a gift to a housewarming party.
C.You can also bring food or drinks to share with the other guests.
D.If you’re lucky enough to receive gifts,keep them in a safe place.
E.It also gives people a chance to see what the new home looks like.
F.The best housewarming parties encourage old friends to get together.
G.This was so that the person could keep their home warm for the winter.

1.E  上文提到乔迁聚会是朋友和家人对乔迁新居的人进行的一种祝贺方式,下文讲乔迁聚会也是在用爱和礼物来填充新空间的时刻。由此可以推知,空格处很有可能也是在讲有关乔迁聚会的意义。结合语境内容可知,E项中的代词It指housewarming party,而且also表明了和上一句之间的逻辑关系。故选E项。
2.B 结合空格后内容可知,此段主要讲乔迁聚会的时候,人们通常会带礼物。B项符合语境内容。
3.C  根据文中的“...there isn’t a lot of food served.”可知,此处讲的是人们来参加乔迁聚会时也可以带着食物,据此可知C项“你也可以带着食物和饮料与其他客人一同分享”符合语境。
4.A  根据空格前的“...people may be asked to help unpack boxes.”可知,此处是在描述聚会活动时可能会做的事情,A项“不过这并不常见”是对空格前内容的补充。A项中的代词This指代空格前的people may be asked to help unpack boxes这种情况。
5.G  此段中的firewood和central heating是答题的关键。这与G项中的keep their home warm for the winter的表述一致。
