The kindly“Chinese Fortune Grandpa”wearing Han Chineseclothing and holding a fortune bag debuted (亮相) at the Imperial Ancestral Shrine in Beijing on the day after Christmas．The final imageof the Chinese gift-giver was selected through a global design petitionagainst“Santa Claus”，according to a report by Guangming Daily．
Many Chinese cities have been filled with Christmas neon lights，Christmas songs，Christmas trees，and the images of“Santa Claus”in recent days．As a matter of fact，foreign festivals are being more popular than certain traditional Chinese festivals among the Chinese people，particularly the youth.“Certain traditional festivals have died out because people have forgotten their spiritual meanings，”said noted writer Feng Jicai．More and more Chinese people are beginning to exchange gifts on Valentine's Day and Christmas．However，many of them know nothing about Chinese New Year pictures or sugarcoated figurines(小糖人)，and have never heard suona music．Certain folk customs on the Dragon Boat Festival，Tomb Sweeping Day，and other traditional festivals have gradually disappeared．Under such circum-stances，even the“Chinese Fortune Grandpa”is unlikely to defeat“Santa Claus”．
However，it is not a bad thing to some extent．It constantly reminds people to restore the“true
face”of traditional festivals．China has listed traditional Tomb Sweeping Day，Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival as legal holidays，which brings more paid leaves to the public，and helps to awake the public awareness of traditional festivals．
In modern society，festival is a carrier of culture and its meaning largelydepends on their understandings and usages by people．Compared with foreign festivals，traditional Chinese festivals are not inferior (次于) in cultural meanings，but lack of fashion sought by modern people．If people do not appreciate the historical culture contained by traditional festivals，and only take pleasure-seeking as the most important，the significance of traditional festivals will fade away and the inheritance (继承) of fine traditional culture will be cut off．

解析：
试题分析: 圣诞节第二天，身着汉服、手持福袋、慈眉善目、笑容可掬的“中华福爷爷”在北京太庙隆重问世，指出外国节日对中国传统文化的冲击，近年来提倡传统节日，中华福爷爷是传统文化的代表，既承载了国人对于传统文化的理解和期许，又展现了现代文明的包容和力量，相信这种创造性结合会给“中华福爷爷”在与“圣诞老人” 下一个回合的“较量”中加分不少
【小题1】C 细节理解题。根据第二段提到Many Chinese cities have been filled with Christmas neon lights，Christmas songs，Christmas trees，and the images of“Santa Claus”inrecent days．As a matter of fact，foreign festivals are being more popular than certain traditional Chinese festivals among the Chinese people，particularly the youth 一段日子来，我国许多城市，圣诞霓虹灯闪烁，满耳是圣诞歌，满眼是圣诞树和圣诞老人的形象，旅馆酒楼的生意也异常红火。不得不承认，在一些人特别是年轻一代的眼里，传统节日有日渐式微之势，所以西方节日正是影响着我们的节日，故选C项。
【小题2】C 细节理解题。根据第一段提到The final image of the Chinese gift-giver was selected through a global design petition against “Santa Claus”， “中华福爷爷”是花百万巨资从全球征集来的作品，选在这个日子发布，似乎有和“圣诞老人”叫板的意思，所以选C项。
【小题3】A 细节理解题。根据第二段提到many of them know nothing about Chinese New Year pictures or sugarcoated figurines(小糖人)，and have never heard suona music．Certain folk customs on the Dragon Boat Festival，Tomb Sweeping Day，and other traditional festivals have gradually disappeared现在越来越多的人开始在情人节、圣诞节互赠礼物，却不知道年画、糖人，没听过唢呐，不识艾草、菖蒲。原本产生于民间的端午节、清明节等传统节日，一些节俗也已不再见于民间。可见传统文化已经落伍了，所以选A项。
【小题4】D 主旨大意。本文第一句话提到圣诞节第二天，身着汉服、手持福袋、慈眉善目、笑容可掬的“中华福爷爷”在北京太庙隆重问世，分析当前人们崇尚外国节日而不注重传统节日，所以是中外文化的对抗，所以D项形象提到文章的主要内容。
