1.Valentine's Day is the time of the year (56)when  couples show their love for each other by(57)sending (send) cards,flowers and chocolates.Its origins are unclear and hidden in the river of time.Nobody knows (58)exactly  (exact) who St.Valentine was,although some historians suggest he was a Roman killed in the third century AD by a Roman Emperor.(59)It  is said that the first recorded Valentine's card was sent by the imprisoned Duke of Orleans in 1415.It is believed (60)that  he tried to find comfort from his imprisonment by writing love poems to his wife.
Now,Valentine's Day (61)is celebrated  (celebrate) in many countries around the world.However,the traditions often differ from place (62)to place.In Japan,for example,it is normal for the woman to send chocolates to the man,while in South Korea April 14th is known as"Black Day"and is when the (63)unfortunate  (fortunate) men who received nothing (64)on  Valentine's Day gather to eat noodles and show sympathy for each other.
Technological developments have also played their part(65)in  keeping Valentine's Day relevant in the 21st century.Valentine's ecards have been very popular in recent years.

分析 本文講述了情人節(jié)的由來和情人節(jié)在不同的國家有不同的風俗習慣.

解答 56.when;考查定語從句,在這個定語從句中先行詞the time 指時間,故用關(guān)系副詞when.       
57.sending;考查非謂語動詞,by是介詞,后面要跟名詞或名詞性短語,故用動名詞形式sending.    
58.exactly;考查副詞,此處用副詞作狀語修飾整個句子.      
59.It;考查固定句型,It is said that…是固定句式結(jié)構(gòu),意為"據(jù)說…".
60.that; 考查固定句型,It is believed that…是固定句式結(jié)構(gòu),意為"據(jù)認為…",it作形式主語,that從句是真正的主語.
61.is celebrated;考查動詞的語態(tài),主語Valentine's Day 與動詞 celebrate是動賓關(guān)系,故用被動語態(tài)is celebrated.
62.to;考查固定短語,此處用介詞to與前面的from構(gòu)成短語"from…to…",意為"從…到…".
63.unfortunate;考查形容詞,此處用形容詞作定語修飾后面的名詞men,根據(jù)后面的定語從句who received nothing 可知要用否定形式unfortunate. 
64.on;考查介詞,具體到"在某一天"要用介詞on.    
65.in;考查介詞,in這里指"在某一方面",play a part in doing是固定搭配,意為"在…方面起作用".

點評 首先要通讀全文,了解大意,抓住上下文語境所提供的信息,明確空格所要填的詞義,詞型和短語搭配,給出所要填的正確形式,然后整體閱讀,核對答案

Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient custom which has existed for at least six thousand years.It was always evil and usually foolish,but in the past the human race managed to live with it. Modern skill has changed this.Either man will stop war,or war will stop man.For the present,it is nuclear weapons that cause the greatest danger,but bacteriological(細菌的)or chemical weapons may,before long,offer an even greater threat.If we succeeded in stopping war,there would be no danger for us.To do this,we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way,not by contests of force,in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in massacre(大屠殺),but by arbitration(仲裁)in accordance with agreed principles of law.It is not easy to change old mental habits,but this is what must be attempted.

There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology(意識形態(tài))would prevent war.I believe this to be a complete error.All ideologies are based upon beliefs without proof which are,at best,doubtful,and at worst, totally false.Those people who believe them are willing to go to war in support of them.

The movement of world opinion during the past two years has changed very largely such as we can welcome.It has become a common belief that nuclear war must be avoided.Of course,very difficult problems remain in the international world,but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago.It has begun to be thought,even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die,that agreements should be reached even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory.It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between East and West,but between Man and the bomb.

1.The underlined word "this" in Paragraph l probably refers to " ".

A. abolishing war B. improving weapons

C. solving international problems D. living a peaceful life

2.From Paragraph 2,we learn that the author .

A. is a supporter of some modern thoughts

B. has no doubt about the truth of any thought

C. does not think the adopinon of any thought could stop war

D. believes the adoption of some thoughts could prevent war

3.The last paragraph suggests that .

A. nuclear war will certainly not take place

B. real agreements have been now reached

C. world opinion is still divided on nuclear war

D. man is beginning to realize that nuclear war is his greatest enemy

4.Which of the following words can best describe the author's feeling in writing this passage?

A. Disappointed. B. Doubtful.

C. Worried. D. Hopeful.

Red envelopes have been related to the Chinese Lunar New Year for long. I myself have had plenty of experiences both receiving and giving out red envelopes in the past, 1. I mean, who doesn’t love free money?

I’m truly surprised by the extent of people’s obsession with virtual red envelopes this year. In fact, everyone I know spent at least a day or two crazily shaking their smart phones, 2. Thanks to messaging app giant We Chat’s new feature which allows users to send money electronically, grabbing virtual red envelopes has never seemed so easy.

3. here’s how it works. Givers link their We Chat to their bank accounts, and then they can send specified amounts of money to their We Chat accounts through a personal message. They can also put the cash up for grabs in chat groups full of friends, and anyone who acts fast enough will get a share. 4.

In theory, this sounds like a fun game. I’m always for some harmless fun in life, so my natural response would be: Why not? Moreover, I’ve always believed that it’s human nature to want free stuff, regardless of whether you actually need it or not. This may not be a good quality, but it’s not against the law, 5. Considering these reasons, I really can’t fault anyone for their enthusiasm in grabbing virtual red envelopes. I would have done it too, had I not thought linking We Chat to my bank accounts was too much trouble.

A. and we know everyone likes money.

B. and generally speaking, it’s been fun.

C. if you want to be good at grabbing a red envelope.

D. Just in case you are one of the very few people still not on the bandwagon,

E. mostly trying to get as much lucky money as possible.

F. so I won’t get all judgmental here.

G. Later,receivers can transfer the funds from their We Chat back into their own bank accounts.
