Valentine’ s Day may come from the ancient Roman feast of Lupercalia. 【B1】______the fierce wolves roamed nearby, the old Romans called【B2】______the god Lupercus to help them. 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. Claudius felt married soldiers would【B11】______stay home than fight. When Valentine【B12】______the Emperor and secretly married the young couples, he was put to death on February 14th, the【B13】______of Lupercalia. After his death, Valentine became a【B14】______. Christian priests moved the holiday from the 15th to the 14th—Valentine’s Day. Now the holiday honors Valentine【B15】______of Lupercus.
Valentine’ s Day has become a major【B16】______of love and romance in the modern world. The ancient god Cupid and his【B17】______into a lover’s heart may still be used to【B18】______falling in love or being in love. But we also use cards and gifts, such as flowers or jewelry, to do this.【B19】______to give flower to a wife or sweetheart on Valentine’ s Day can sometimes be as【B20】______as forgetting a birthday or a wedding anniversary.

选项
A、goat
B、saint
C、model
D、weapon
答案
B
解析
考查名词辨析。由下文可知,牧师们设定了一个专门的节日来纪念瓦伦丁,而不再纪念牧神。可见瓦伦丁变成了一个“圣人”,而不是“山羊(goat)”,“模范(model)”或“武器(weapon)”。故B.saint正确。
