【语篇解读】 本文讲述了与闰年二月二十九日相关的事宜。
1．what [考查表语从句。句意：这是因为今年是我们所说的“闰年”。表语从句中call缺少宾语，故用what。]
2．it [考查代词。本处代指the year，作介词in的宾语，故用人称代词的宾格形式it。]
3．legally [考查副词。修饰动词应用副词legally。]
4．associated [考查非谓语动词。在英国有个有名的传统和二月二十九日有关。be associated with...“与……有联系，与……有关”。本处应用过去分词短语作后置定语。]
5．fifth [考查序数词。in the fifth century“在五世纪”；定冠词the后加序数词。]
6．complaint [考查名词。不定冠词a后加名词。]
7．was written [考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。这项所谓的传统在13
世纪被写入法律。tradition与write为动宾关系，且tradition为单数，此处描述的是过去的情况，故填was written。]
8．for [考查介词。(大家)呼吁2月29日为公众假日。call在此为名词，call for...表示“对于……的呼吁”。]
9．official [考查形容词。“官方的节假日”，应用形容词作定语修饰名词。] 10．more [考查比较级。因为没有人会因为多干这一天获得更多的报酬。根据语境可知，本处应用比较级。]
