1. Do you know what a resolution is It’s a kind of promise. Most of the time, we make promises to other people. (“Mom, I promise I’m going to tidy my room when I get back from school.”) However, promises you make to yourself are resolutions, and the most common kind is New Year’s resolutions. When we make resolutions at the beginning of the year, we hope that we are going to improve our lives. Some people write down their resolutions and plans for the coming year. This helps them to remember their resolutions. Others tell their family and friends about their wish and plans.

D
D句意:新年伊始常是下新年决心的时候。
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下新年决心的时候……”可推测出本空应填此句。
2. There are different kinds of resolutions. Some are about physical health. For example, some people promise themselves they are going to start an exercise program or eat less fast food. Many resolutions have to do with self-improvement. ______ Some people might say they are going to take up a hobby like painting or taking photos, or learn to play the guitar. Some resolutions have to do with better planning, like making a weekly plan for schoolwork.______
2.段 _____ _____
A 句意:这些决心是有关让你自己成为一名更优秀的人的。
A
B
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。
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。由空格前所列是第三种 “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。
3. Although there are differences, most resolutions have one thing in common. People hardly ever keep them! ________Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep. Sometimes people just forget about them. For this reason, some people say the best resolution is to have no resolutions! How about you— will you make any resolutions next year
3.段 _____
C句意: 对此种情况有不错的理由。
C
本段中心意思是对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,可知空格处应先C句。
