Nearly any small child can rattle off the twelve months of the year. But how and why did the names come into being? Every months name tells a story. January is named after Janus, a Roman god described as having two faces, one looking forward and one looking back. As the god of doors, he had to watch out for friends and enemies coming from either direction. February is a form of februare, which was a Roman festival. On that day, people begged the gods for healthy children and enough crops in the next year. March is named after Mars, whom many people have read about as the god of wars. Few people realize that at first Mars was the god of springtime. Fighters would “take the winter off” from fighting, resting while the weather was too bad for the battle. In the spring-around what we now think of as March battles would start again. From this time line, Mars soon became more well known as the god of wars than of springtime. April is a mystery. Experts argue a lot about the origin of it. May is also named after a goddess, Maika. She was the goddess of plants, because plants often begin to have flowers in May. Not every month kept the same name over the years. The first name for July was Quintilis, “the fifth month”. August was at first called Sextilis, “the sixth month”. Likewise, September, October, November, and December were the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth months. How did July and August get their new names? July was named after Julius Caesar, the first emperor of Rome, after he was killed in 66 BC. August was named after Augustus Caesar, Julius Caesars nephew.21. The underlined phrase “rattle off” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”.A. shake until something drops offB. say something quickly from memoryC. get rid ofD. feel unhappy22. The writers main purpose in writing the passage is to _.A. explain how the months got their namesB. show why there are twelve months and not just ten monthsC. show how important human activities are in deciding the names of the monthsD. suggest the new names for the twelve months23. According to the passage, Janus needed both of his faces because _.A. he was the caretaker of fighters in the battleB. he was the god of the beginning of the yearC. he had to look in both directions as the god of doorsD. he had more days in his month than in the other months24. According to the passage, which of the following months is named after a festival?A. February. B. March. C. April. D. May.B In a small town of the USA, under the protection of his loyal（忠诚的）and beloved dog, a lost boy was found safe and sound.After 3-year-old Carson Urness went missing from his yard around 7:30 p.m. Monday, a search party of about 200 people was organized to find the child. About seven hours later, one of them found the golden German shepherd dog（牧羊犬）near a hill; Carson was hiding under the dog. It appeared the dog had used his body to shield the missing boy from a thunderstorm.“It was unexpected, but then I knew Cooper was gone. If anyone was going to find him, theyd just have to find Cooper,” Carsons mother told WDAZ-TV.The boy and his dog were discovered about a mile away from the familys Cooperstown farm. Though those on foot were called off from the search around 2 a.m. Tuesday because of heavy rain, ATV riders continued until one car found the dog.As Carson rode back to the family home on the ATV, Cooper reportedly followed behind. The 3-year-old was taken to a local hospital for examination but appeared to be in good shape thanks to his loyal dog.The boys father, Brock Urness told ABC News he was thankful to everyone who helped look for the boy. “We are very thankful to the police and local fire station and all the people with horses and cars and the walkers,” Urness told reporters.25.The underlined word “shield” in the second paragraph most probably means “ ”.A. arrange B. remove C. find D. protect26.
