Every time a new year is coming, people set out to better themselves. They promise they will lose weight, find a new job, or maybe even take that vacation they’ve always talked about. But why do we make these promises to ourselves, and where did this tradition come from? Why does this tradition live on when so many people fail to keep the resolutions(决定) they made? Well, we can start by blaming the ancient Babylonians.
Around 4,000 years ago in Babylon, the earliest recorded celebration honoring the coming of a new year was held. Calendars weren’t as they are today, so the Babylonians did it in late March during the first new moon after the Spring Equinox(春分). The festivities were meant for the rebirth of the sun god, but the Babylonians made promises in order to please their gods. They felt this would help them start the new year off well.
Resolutions continued on with the Romans. When the early Roman calendar no longer synced(同步) up with the sun, Julius Caesar decided to make a change. He consulted with the best astronomers and mathematicians of the time and introduced the Julian calendar, which more closely represents the modern calendar we use today. Caesar declared January 1 the first day of the year to honor the god of new beginnings, Janus. The Romans celebrated the New Year by offering sacrifices to Janus.
To this day, the traditions of the ancient Babylonians and Romans continue around the world. So much that Google launched a Resolution Map in 2013 where people could add resolutions and see others adding theirs in real time. However, no matter how many people participated in Google’s project, the numbers are bleak when it comes to the number of people who maintain their resolutions----only eight percent of people are successful in sticking them out.
1.Why did the ancient Babylonians make promises to their gods?
A. To honor the god of new beginnings.
B. To observe the rebirth of the sun god and please him.
C. To honor the coming of a new year and satisfy their gods.
D. To please their gods and hope for a good start of the year.
2.What can we know about the tradition of the New Year’s resolutions?
A. The tradition of making New Year’s resolutions will soon die.
B. A lot of people don’t feel like making New Year’s resolutions.
C. Julius Caesar made January 1 the first day of a year on his own.
D. The history of making New Year’s resolutions is not well known.
3.What does the underlined word “bleak” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Large. B. Unpleasant.
C. Encouraging. D. Hopeful.
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. How Making New Year’s Resolutions Came Into Being?
B. The Ancient Babylonians and the Romans
C. The Change of Roman Calendars
D. How People Better Themselves

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析
You're at dinner with your friends on Sunday and the waiter comes up to you and says, “Is this going to be on one check or?”
“Separate!” you all said, barely taking a breath to pause from your conversation.
And why would you? It's pretty usual to pay for your own meal, or to go Dutch.
But it wasn't always the custom to split the check when going out with friends. In fact, in early English society, it was seen as selfish to invite someone out to eat and not pay for their meal. The origins of the phrase "going Dutch" are a little complicated, but Steven Pincus, a historian from the University of Chicago who focuses on early modern Europe, helped us track the complex history of this idiom.
We have to take it back all the way to the 1600s. During the Anglo-Dutch Wars, there were multiple conflicts between the English and the Dutch over trade and naval power. That led to a rise in idioms from the English regarding their enemy, the Dutch: phrases like "Dutch courage," the false courage brought on by alcohol; or "Dutch reckoning," which is a ridiculously high bill on which you've likely been cheated. This was because the English saw the Dutch not only as a trading enemy,but also as a people with questionable morals. The English "claimed that the Dutch had been completely corrupted by their commitment to capitalism." (Funny how tides change, isn't it?)of course, as time changes, so does our sense of self. After all, who wants to pay for their friends' meals all the time? Maybe sometimes it's all right to do like the Dutch do.
1.What did people once do in English history if they dined out with friends?
A.They split the check. B.The inviter paid for the meal.
C.They paid for their meals in turn. D.one of the guests paid for the meal.
2.What does the author say about the idioms containing the word "Dutch”？
A.They show respect to the Dutch. B.They do harm to English language.
C.They are associated with money. D.They mean something dishonorable.
3.The purpose of the text is to explain
A.the English table manners B.the England and Dutch relationship
C.the origin of some English phrases D.the change in English history

When my friend put out the idea of homeschooling to her parents, the first reaction they gave was, “You are cutting the child off the world.” Did the child really get cut off or did the child socialize better?
The moment we hear of homeschooling, we think the child will have no opportunities to interact with peers. However, in my friend’s opinion, we forget that when attending a regular school, the child is not into socializing all the while. The child is confined to so many other activities. Studies take a major role in a child’s life. The child hardly has the time to interact at school.
The child might be meeting and studying along with many peers; however, how many kids interact with all the kids in a class? But in homeschooling system, as my friend mentioned, the kid has all the time and can plan his day accordingly. During the day the child studies just like other school-going kids but with no burden of homework and project work, the child has so much free time in the evening as to effectively interact and play with peers. The quality time the child spends in education is really impressive.
Homeschooled kids have the opportunity to socialize more often as they have a lot of time in their hands. They can also make socializing a regular habit. Just as my friend said, her child goes to a neighboring park almost every day and has a set of friends who go there daily. Other children get back home to finish off homework and project work whereas her child who is already through with studies gets the opportunity to spend time with family members.
When I heard this, I really felt how lucky the child was. Definitely the child had a better opportunity to socialize when compares with my kids. However, I might not consider homeschooling for my kid, as I am so used to the traditional schooling system and feel regular schooling the safest bet.
1.What is the author’s attitude towards his friend’s idea of homeschooling?
A. Surprised. B. Interested.
C. Negative. D. Confident.
2.The author’s purpose in writing the passage is to _________.
A. explain what homeschooling is.
B. express his views on homeschooling.
C. share his ways of teaching his children.
D. promote homeschooling.
3.The underlined word “confined” in the Para.2 can be replaced by _______.
A. free B. restricted
C. devoted D. accustomed
4. According to the author what is the biggest advantage of homeschooling children?
A. They can be better at socializing.
B. They can be more popular.
C. They will become braver.
D. They can study better.
5. How does the passage mainly develop?
A. By following the order of importance.
B. By following the order of time
C. By presenting facts.
D. By making comparison.
