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】________.
【C6】
选项
A、comparing
B、connecting
C、equipping
D、replacing
答案
D
解析
with后的healthy snack暗示情人节这天的sweets和parties不够健康,空格处填入的动词说明对“糖果和聚会”施加的动作。D项replacing与with搭配表示“以……替代……”,表明 “糖果和聚会被健康食品代替”。A项comparing…with表示二者相比,而本句不只是存在比较关系。B项connecting…with表示使二者相连。C项equipping…with“给……配备……”,语义均不通。
