1.在英語(yǔ)里，一年中每個(gè)月份的名字來(lái)源于拉丁語(yǔ)。JANUARY(一月)、MARCH(三月)、MAY(五月)和JUNE(六月)都是用羅馬神的名字來(lái)命名的。JANUARY(一月)得名于神宙斯。宙斯是個(gè)奇特的神，他有兩張臉能看兩個(gè)方向。他能同時(shí)看到前面和后面，所以，他是開(kāi)始和結(jié)束的神。JANUARY(一月)，一年的第一個(gè)月，是向前展望新年的時(shí)刻，也是向后回顧舊年的時(shí)刻。2.FEBRUARY(二月)的名字來(lái)源于一個(gè)羅馬慶典的日子（FEBRUA）。該日慶祝清潔。接近二月底，在漫長(zhǎng)的冬季月份之后，人們開(kāi)始考慮春天的清潔。大概是FEBRUARY(二月)這個(gè)名字的起源吧。除了每四年一次的額外多的一天，二月僅僅有二十八天。這是因?yàn)槊恳荒陮?shí)際上有365天6小時(shí)。在四年的年底，把每年額外的6小時(shí)累加，恰好是24小時(shí)，或者說(shuō)是完整的一天。這個(gè)二月有29天的第四年被稱(chēng)為閏年。3.MARCH(三月)，一年中的第三個(gè)月，得名于羅馬戰(zhàn)神瑪斯（MARS瑪斯是一位強(qiáng)壯的神，羅馬人把它與雷鳴電閃聯(lián)系在一起?，斔沟南耦^部總是被畫(huà)上閃電。三月以這個(gè)神命名是很自然的，因?yàn)楸泵乐薜脑S多地方，三月是強(qiáng)風(fēng)、大雨和暴風(fēng)雪的季節(jié)。在三月，經(jīng)常有雷鳴和閃電發(fā)生。4.APRIL(四月)這個(gè)詞的確切來(lái)源并不為人所知。這個(gè)詞也許來(lái)源于拉丁語(yǔ)的APERIRE，意思是“打開(kāi)”。今天意大利語(yǔ)中的“打開(kāi)”是APRIRE，西班牙語(yǔ)則是ABRIR。在APRIL(四月)，天空似乎打開(kāi)并賜給我們雨水，雨水給樹(shù)木、草、花朵帶來(lái)生機(jī)。5.MAY(五月)得名于年輕美麗的原野女神瑪雅（MAIA）。瑪雅是神麥克瑞（MERCURY）的母親。另外一個(gè)美麗的女神朱諾（JUNO）是丘比特的妻子，她給了我們JUNE(六月)的名字。6.一年中的第七個(gè)月，JULY(七月)，得名于以朱利斯·凱撒（JULIUSCAESAR）。凱撒是一個(gè)著名的將軍，后來(lái)成為羅馬帝國(guó)的獨(dú)裁者。在凱撒帝國(guó)之前，每年開(kāi)始于三月而不是一月。凱撒創(chuàng)造了一部新歷法，也就是我們現(xiàn)在使用的這部歷法。凱撒自己也出生于JULY(七月)，即新歷法的第七個(gè)月。7.在凱撒之后，他的外孫奧古斯塔斯（AUGUSTUS）成為羅馬的統(tǒng)治者。奧古斯塔斯的真名叫屋大維。但是當(dāng)他成為君主后，人們?yōu)槿偹?，給了他奧古斯塔斯的頭銜，意思是“貴族”。在他之后，人們稱(chēng)一年的第八個(gè)月為AUGUST(八月)。8.SEPTEMBER(九月)、OCTOBER(十月)、NOVEMBER(十一月)、和DECEMBER(十二月)需要一些小小的解釋。它們?cè)谖覀兘裉斓娜諝v里是一年的第九、第十、第十一和第十二個(gè)月，但是在凱撒以前的古歷法中，它們是一年的第七、第八、第九、和第十個(gè)月。因此，它們名字源自拉丁文的第七（SEPTEMBER第八（OCTOBER第九（NOVEMBER和第十（DECEMBER）。1、Whatdopeopleoftendointhefirstmonthoftheyear?D、BothAandC.會(huì)計(jì)學(xué)位英語(yǔ)(五、閱讀理解:5篇×5題×1分=25分)2、ThesecondmonthofayearisnamedFebruaryprobablybecauseC、itistimetoconsiderspringcleaning3、Regardingtheoriginofthenameofthesecondmonthofayear,theauthorisA、notverysure4、Accordingtothepassage,whichofthefollowingisTRUE?A、ItisfrequentlyrainyandstormyinMarchinmostofNorthAmerica.5、Whichofthefollowingstatementsmightbethetopicsentenceofthispassage?B、TheEnglishnamesofthemonthsoftheyeararefromLatin.
