本文是一篇記敘文，介紹了作者國家的一個文化，就是每一天都有一個名字，對于正好叫那個名字的人來說，那一天就是他/她的“姓名日”。本文介紹了作者是如何度過自己的“姓名日”的。

【1】句意：這也是我堂弟的“姓名日”，因為他的名字也叫伊戈爾。

even甚至；also也；still仍然。根據(jù)句意，可知此處表示“也”，故選B。

【2】句意：在我們國家，一年中的每一天都有一個名字，一個人的“姓名日”就是日歷上有他們名字的那一天。

school學(xué)校；city城市；country國家。根據(jù)“We live in Slovakia”，可知是一個國家，故選C。

【3】句意：我表弟與我和斯洛伐克其他的“伊戈爾們”一起共享我們的“姓名日”。

describe描述；change改變；share分享。根據(jù)句意，可知此處構(gòu)成固定搭配share…with…，意為“和……分享……”，故選C。

【4】句意：“姓名日”就像是第二個生日，但是沒那么重要。

on在……上；for為了；like喜歡。根據(jù)句意，可知此處表示“像”，故選C。

【5】句意：但是他們從不會忘記我的“姓名日”，因為它就在日歷上。

celebrate慶祝；forget忘記；mention提及。根據(jù)前文“because sometimes my friends don't remember my birthday”，可知此處是說“不會忘記”，故選B。

【6】句意：我妹妹勞拉給了我五朵花。

cookies餅干；apples蘋果；flowers花。根據(jù)后文“an even number of flowers is considered unlucky”，可知送的是花，故選C。

【7】句意：她給我五朵是因為偶數(shù)的花被認(rèn)為是不吉利的。

though雖然；because因為；unless除非。根據(jù)句子邏輯，可知此處表示原因，故選B。

【8】句意：我給了他一盒巧克力作為回報。

him他；her她；them他們。根據(jù)句意，可知此處是指表弟伊戈爾，故選A。

【9】句意：當(dāng)然這讓她很沮喪。

upset沮喪的；worried擔(dān)心的；nervous緊張的。根據(jù)前文“My sister had to stay at home and do her homework”妹妹不能一起去動物園，可知她很沮喪，故選A。

【10】句意：當(dāng)她向父親抱怨時，他告訴她，在五月五日她可以去有趣的地方，因為五月五日是勞拉的“姓名日”。

must必須；could可以；should應(yīng)該。根據(jù)句意，可知此處表示“可以”；又根據(jù)主句謂語動詞told用過去時，可知此處也用過去時，故選B。
