问题     I shouldn’t let it bother me. It really doesn’t matter anyway. But it does bother me ! All those people  are preparing to【21】a new century, a new millennium (千年) as well.  And it just isn’t【22】!
    Most of us schedule our lives by the Gregorian【23】. Our years are measured from the【24】of Christ. The first year of the first century is 1, or 1 A.D. The last year of that century is the year 100. Simple?  Yes! A century is 100【25】long. A millennium is 1,000 years long, which is【26】ten centuries.
    Since the last year of the first century is the year 100, the first year of the【27】century is 101. Follow that pattern, century by century and you’ll get my【28】. The year 2000 is the last year of the twentieth century. After all,【29】thousand means twenty hundreds. Twenty hundred years means twenty centuries. The year 2000 is the【30】, the final, the one that’s still here, year of the twentieth century!!!!
    I know, I’m getting too【31】. But it isn’t fair, While most people will really be enjoying this coming【32】celebration, those of us in the know will be yawning. Everyone else will be【33】for the new millennium and we’ll be saying, "It’s not until next year."
    I don’t agree with the【34】, "Ignorance is bliss." But in this case, perhaps it’s【35】.

选项 A、hungry
B、handsome
C、inaccurate
D、excited

答案D

解析 说到此,作者认为这是一个非常简单而清楚的问题,很容易说服别人。根据后面所说,作者明白事实并非如此,所以他觉得自己过于激动了。其他选项不合文章含义。选项D是正确的。
