What do Russia’s Belgorod province and some schools in Florida and Connecticut have in common? They are unlikely recruits to the war on Valentine’s Day. In 2011 the governor of Belgorod banned celebration of the holiday in educational and cultural institutions on the【C1】______that it was harmful to Russian spirituality and【C2】______. Last year two schools in Orange County, Florida,【C3】______Valentine’s gift-giving, citing such reasons【C4】______the need to "maintain instructional focus" and "【C5】______distraction". And this year a school in Connecticut wrote to parents to say it would be【C6】______sweets and parties on February 14th with healthy snacks and【C7】______activities.
This puts them all on the【C8】______side as many Muslim countries that have banned the celebration of Valentine’s Day. Saudi Arabia has gone so【C9】______as to ban all things red from flowers and gift shops on the day—with little effect【C10】______to create a black market for red roses. A Kyrgyzstan’s leader recently urged his fellow legislators to【C11】______a ban, too, dubbing Valentine’s Day a "holiday from the devil".
Originally a Christian【C12】______associated with several victims called Valentine, February 14th was also the day when birds chose their mates in folk stories. In 1400 Charles VI of France picked the date to propose a "High Court of Love",【C13】______matters of the heart. The passing of love notes became fashionable in England in the 1700s, and in 1797 "The Young Man’s Valentine Writer" was published, formalizing a long【C14】______of telling men how to propose. In 1913 Hallmark produced their first【C15】______Valentine’s card. In the 1980s the diamond industry followed flower’s and chocolate’s businessmen, who had already【C16】______Valentine’s Day as a moment to give (or expect) a【C17】______gift.
What bothers some of Valentine’s Day’s enemies is its Christian, or Western, origins. For others the problem is the stimulation to commerciality, evil or even unhealthy eating.【C18】______their battle is doomed to failure. Valentine’s Day has a conveniently unspecific origin myth. It【C19】______cheer to the post-Christmas depression. It provides an opportunity to give and get, and, for businesses, to【C20】______.
【C3】
选项
A、allowed
B、hindered
C、forbade
D、punished
答案
C
解析
本段第二句提到许多学校成为对情人节宣战的新成员,本句举例说明。上句提到别尔哥罗德州长下令禁止庆祝情人节所用的动词是banned,C项forbade(原型forbid)与ban是同义词。表示下令禁止做某事,符合语义逻辑。
