题目内容

【题目】 Feb. 29, or Leap Day, arrives on your calendar once every four years—and 2020 is one of them. The reason there are 366 days every four years instead of the standard 365 is that the calendar doesn't precisely line up since the Earth orbits the sun in approximately 365 days and 6 hours. Hence, every 4 years a leap day, February 29th, has to be added to correct for the difference.

It's not a federally recognized holiday, but Leap Day is a special occasion, so retailers typically offer many sales, deals and discounts. From food to travel deals, here are 29 Leap Day 2020 discounts.

●Hard Rock Café: Customers with a Leap Day birthday receive a free entrée from the restaurant's Leaplings Eat Free menu with a valid photo ID.

●Dog Hans: Enjoy a free upgrade from a single to a double burger on Feb. 29, which will save you $2.49.

●Legal Sea Foods: Get two 1-pound lobsters and two sides at any of the East Coast eatery's 30 non-airport locations for $29(over a $50 value) on Feb. 29.

●Big Frog Custom T-Shirts ＆More: Get a free Leap Year 2020 T-shirt at any of the retailers participating locations on Feb. 29—no purchase required.

●Foot Locker: Save 15 percent on purchases of $70 or more through Feb. 29.

【解析】

这是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述了2020年2月29日是一个闰日，闰日是一个特殊的日子，所以零售商通常提供许多销售，交易和折扣。

【1】细节理解题。根据文章第一段中The reason there are 366 days every four years instead of the standard 365 is that the calendar doesn't precisely line up since the Earth orbits the sun in approximately 365 days and 6 hours. Hence, every 4 years a leap day, February 29th, has to be added to correct for the difference. 之所以每四年有366天而不是标准的365天，是因为由于地球绕太阳公转大约365天6小时，所以日历并没有精确排列。因此，必须每4年增加一个闰日，即2月29日，以纠正这种差异。由此可知，2020年2月多一天的原因是与真正的天文年保持一致。结合选项，故选A。

【2】细节理解题。根据文章倒数第四段中Foot Locker: Save 15 percent on purchases of $70 or more through Feb. 29. 在2月29日之前购买70美元或以上的产品可节省15%。由此可知，假如是一百美元一双鞋的话，在2月29日购买会节省15%，也就是15元。故100-15=85。结合选项，故选B。

【3】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中Marriott: Enjoy up to 20 percent in savings when you use code ADP to book a room in advance through March 19. 万豪：在3月19日之前，使用代码ADP提前预订房间，可享受高达20%的优惠。由此可知，Marriott的折扣截止到3月19日，优惠是超过2月29日的。故选D。
