1. D The start of the year is often a time for making resolutions.
D 句意：新年伊始常是许下新年决心的时候。
第一段中介绍了resolution的意思。第一空格前句意“最普通的一种就是新年决心”，空格后句意为“当我们在新年的开端许下新年决心的时候……”可推测出本空应填此句。
阅读策略
A句意：这些决心是有关让你自己成为一名更优秀的人的。
由前一句话“很多决心与自我提高有关。”，可知空格处是对这句的进一步解释。
2. A These are about making yourself a better person.
B句意：例如, 一名学生可能必须利用更多的时间来学习。
本段中介绍了不同类型的决心，并一一举例说明。由空格前所列第三种 “与更好的计划有关的决心”，本空格处应为举例说明这种类型的决心的情况。
B For example, a student may have to find more time to study.
C句意: 对此种情况有不错的理由。
本段中心意思是对许下新年决心这种想法的怀疑。由空格前句意“人们很难实现他们”，及空格后的两句都是叙述不能实现这些决心的原因, 可知空格处应选C句。
