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】________.
【C20】
选项
A、advertise
B、discount
C、profit
D、wirr
答案
C
解析
本句谈到对个人而言情人节提供了一个送礼、收礼的机会,因此会刺激消费;而对于businesses而言,有消费则会产生利润,所以选择C项profit“获利”。A项advertise“打广告”没能体现出情人节对生意的好处。在情人节当天促销产品主要是为了获利,而非为了“打折”,B项discount不合适。D项win主要指通过努力、斗争、比赛等而获得胜利,不符合本题语境。
