试题分析：这篇短文给我们介绍了中国最重要的节日—春节。中国人庆祝春节有很多的习俗，如在春节前，人们要打扫屋子、购物，为新年做好准备；除夕夜的时候，人们要在一起吃年夜饭；新年的第一天要穿上新衣服去走亲访友等等。

【1】B推理判断题。根据短文的第一段中There is a name for each Chinese year. We may call it the year of the sheep, the year of the monkey or the tiger可知，中国的新年都有一个名字，如羊年、猴年、虎年等。羊、猴、虎等都是动物，故由此可推断，中国的新年都有一个动物的名字，故应选B。

【2】C细节理解题。根据短文第二段中On New Year’s Eve, there is a big family dinner可知，在除夕夜，人们经常聚在一起吃一顿大餐。由此可知选C。

【3】B主旨大意题。根据短文的第一句话We call the Chinese New Year the Spring Festival可知，这里首先提到了中国的春节，下面的短文都是围绕人们是如何庆祝春节来展开的，故应选B。
