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】________.
【C18】
选项
A、So
B、And
C、Unless
D、But
答案
D
解析
上句讲述反对情人节的缘由,如介意其基督教起源或西方起源,或是认为情人节推动了商业化、堕落和不健康饮食。本句却说反对情人节的战斗注定会失败(doomed to failure)。从语义上判断本题应填入表转折关系的连词,故选择D项But。A项So“所以”表因果关系。B项And表顺接关系。C项Unless“除非”相当于if…not,表示唯一条件。
