答案与解析

【语篇解读】为什么一到新年就要下决心？原来这是个悠久传统。这一传统从何而来呢？为什么这么多人都坚持不了新年决心，这项传统还是能延续下去呢？追根溯源，这要从古巴比伦人说起。

词汇微存①participate in参与；②stick to坚持；遵守

1．or考查连词。设空前后的“lose weight、find a new job”和“maybe even take that vacation”是选择关系，应用连词or。or “或者”。

2．promises考查名词的数。设空前是these, 故设空处应填复数名词。

3．to keep考查非谓语动词。fail to do sth. “没能做某事”。

4．recorded考查非谓语动词。设空处所填词在句中做定语修饰名词celebration，应用非谓语动词。record与celebration是逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词做定语。the earliest recorded celebration “最早的有记载的庆祝仪式”。

5．were held考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。设空处所填谓语动词与and后的谓语动词lasted时态一致，应用一般过去时；主语events与hold是被动关系，故用一般过去时的被动语态，且谓语动词应用复数形式，故填were held。hold(举行)—held—held。

6．a考查冠词。make a change “做出改变”。

7．finally考查词性转换。设空在句作状语修饰谓语动词introduced，应用副词，故填finally。

8．which考查非限制性定语从句。非限制性定语从句的先行词是“the Julian calendar”，指物，定语从句中缺少主语，故用关系

代词which 引导非限制性定语从句。

9．theirs 考查代词。设空处所填词在句中做宾语，指代名词“their resolutions ”， 应用名词性物主代词theirs 。

10．successful 考查词性转换。设空处在句中做表语，应用形容词，故填successful 。be successful in doing sth. “成功地做某事”。
