4. II. Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct option (marked A, B, C or D) to answer the questions. (1.0 point) Have you ever thought about the names of the months? Why are “January” and “February” not called “Primo” or “Secondo”? Is it because the original names were created in ancient times? Or is it because the originators preferred odd words? Take February, for example. Say it aloud a few minutes and you start to wonder. Most people don’t know who developed these names. However, a little research reveals that the names of the months came mostly from a combination of the names of Roman gods and goddesses, important festivals, and the original numbers of the months. Julius Caesar and Pope Gregory XIII change the calendar to make it more exact. Caesar developed a new calendar of 364 and a quarter days, the time it takes the earth to orbit the sun from one spring season to the next. The Pope’s astronomers refined the calendar regarding leap years; they determined that there should be no leap year in years ending in 00- unless they were divisible by 400; the years 1700, 1800, 1900 and 2100 would not be considered leap years, while the years 1600 and 2000 would be. This new Gregorian calendar was so accurate that today, scientists need only add leap seconds every few years to the clock in order to keep the calendar matching the Earth’s cycles. 61.

A. interesting B. informative C. correct D. simple 65. Which of the following will be a leap year? A. 2300 B. 2400 C. 2200 D. 2500 66. Which of the following is true of the Gregorian calendar? A. It needs major improvements. B. It was so well designed, it needs little adjusting today. C. It copied the Roman calendar’s formula of leap years. D. none of the answers 67. Why is Caesar important in calendar making? A. He changed the length of the year B. He extended summer. C. He altered the number of days in the year. D. He has a month named for him 68. In what order is the information in the passage presented? A. Caesar’s calendar, the Gregorian calendar, the modern calendar. B. Roman Gods, important festivals, original numbers of months. C. names of months, Caesar’s calendar, the Gregorian Calendar. D. none of the answers. 69. The word “refined” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to___. A. studied B. invented C. observed D. improved 70. Why is the number of 364 and a quarter important? A. It is the length of time from the beginning of spring to the end of winter. B.
