【解析】

【1】the same date意為“同一日期”。句意為“……在有的國家，新年并不是每年開始于同一日期”。故選B。

【2】由句意知，強調前后句中的動作同時進行。故用連詞while，意為“當……時”。故選C。

【3】根據后面的數字可知此處使用count down，意為“倒數，倒計時”，是固定搭配。故選D。

【4】本題考查句意理解和詞義辨析。loudly意為“大聲地”；quietly意為“安靜地”；sadly意為“悲傷地”；safely意為“安全地”。句意為“……每個人都大聲地喊‘新年快樂！’”故選A。

【6】由本段最后一句“…they read it to their family or friends…”中的read可推知，此處應為把他們決心做的事情一條條地寫下來。故選B。

【7】因為句中有than，故其前面的形容詞或副詞要用比較級，故選C。

【8】因為句子的主語是they(他們)，后面的物主代詞應與其相對應，用their(他們的)。故選D。

【9】由本段的第一句話知很多人在新年那天會為新的一年做出一些決定，故此處應是在“遵守自己的決定”，故選A。

【10】句意為“……對世界上各個國家的人們來說都是辭舊歲迎新年的時間”。用介詞for，意為“對……來說，對于”，故選B。
