A festival in his【B3】______was held on February 15th. On the eve of the festival the【B4】______of the girls were written on 【B5】______ of paper and placed in jars. Each young man 【B6】______ a slip. The girl whose name was 【B7】______ was to be his sweetheart for the year.
    Legend 【B8】______ it that the holiday became Valentine’s Day 【B9】______ a Roman priest named Valentine. Emperor Claudius II【B10】______the Roman soldiers NOT to marry or become engaged.

【B17】
选项 A、story
B、wander
C、arrow
D、play
答案C
解析 考查文化常识。god Cupid指“爱神丘比特”，他手持具有爱情魔力的弓箭，被其射中者将坠入情网。因此本题应选C．arrow“箭”。另外，从搭配上看，story“故事，叙述”和play“游戏，玩耍，比赛”都不与介词into搭配。wander可与into搭配，意为“闲逛，游荡，流浪(进入某地)”，但又显然不符合文义。
