根据以下材料,回答题I had always known that the Chinese NewYear was different from our own but otherwise assumed that the way we Europeansdivided up the year was something in common. Quite recently, though, I foundout that there used to be some pretty dramatic differences. During the MiddleAges, the official start of the year varied enormously within Europe. In Spain,Portugal, Switzerland and Germany it began on Christmas Day, whereas it startedon the 1st March in Venice and the 21st in England. In Rome, it was at one timethe 25th January but then changed to the 25th March. In Russia the new yearcoincided with the spring equinox (春分).If this isn′t complicated enough the Frenchused to start their official year from Easter day. Easter, as I am sure you allknow, is a moveable feast whose complicated calculation is quite a mystery tome. However, this French style of working out the beginning of the year led tosome years being as short as three hundred days while others could stretch tofour hundred with two spring times with one at each end!With all these different dating systems inoperation you can imagine the enormous potential for confusion. This can createheadaches for students engaged in studying the period from original documentsas they can actually find somebody′s death being recorded months before theyare married and battles still being fought weeks after a peace agreement hadbeen signed! It would all depend on where the events had been recorded. As anactual example the student could easily get muddled (糊涂的) over the date of thefamous trial of the Knights Templar in Paris. According to records this longand complex trial ended in 1313 as the New Year didn′t officially start untilthe 7th April. Fortunately for all of us these differences were eventuallysolved. In December 1564 the French decided to start the New Year from the 1 stJanuary. The Russians adopted this new style of dating in 1725 and the Englisha further twenty-seven years later.

A.had always known about the dating systemsB.knew Europeans varied in their datingsystemsC.had just found out about the Chinese NewYearD.had been forced to revise his opinion
答案
D
解析
细节题。定位到第一段中的"I had always known that theChinese new year was different from our own but otherwise assumed that the waywe Europeans divided up the year was something we have always had in common.Quite recently, though, I found out that there used to be some pretty dramaticdifferences."可知作者过去只知道中国新年和他们的不同,但并不知道欧洲各国也有不同,所以不得不改变观点。故选D。
