19、he best word(s) for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D.（分数：40.00）_解析：Valentine“ s Day may come from the ancient Roman feast of Lupercalia.【C1】_the fierce wolves roamed nearby, the old Romans called【C2】_the god Lupercus to help them. A festival in his 【C3】_ was held on February 15th. On the ev

20、e of the festival the 【C4】_of the girls were written on 【C5】_ of paper and placed in jars. Each young man 【C6】_ a slip. The girl whose name Was【C7】_was to be his sweetheart for the year. Legend 【C8】_ it that the holiday became Valentine“s Day【C9】_a Roman priest named Valentine. Emperor Claudius II【C

When Valentine 【C12】_ the Emperor and secretly married the young couples, he was put to death on February 14th, the 【C13】_of Lupercalia. After his death, Valentine became a 【C14】_.

22、 Christian priests moved the holiday from the 15th to the 14thValentine“s Day. Now the holiday honors Valentine 【C15】_of Lupercus.

But we also use cards and gifts, such as flowers or jewelry, to do this. 【C19】_to give flower to a wife or sweetheart on Valentine“ s Day can sometimes be as 【C20】_as forgetting a birthday or a wedding anniversary.（分数：40.00）(1).【C1】（分数：2.00）A.WhileB.When C.ThoughD.Unl

24、ess解析：解析：考查逻辑关系。While 表时间或让步，意为“当的时候”或“虽然，尽管”；When 表时间，意为“当的时候”；Though 表让步，意为“尽管，虽然”；Unless 表条件，意为“除非”。根据文意，两个分句之间是时间关系，因此需要在 While 和 When 之间选择。When 既可指一段时间，也可指一个时间点，既可表示持续的动作，也可表示一时的动作；While 一般只表示持续性的动作或状态。空格所在分句中的动作 roamed 不是持续性的动作，故 BWhen 正确。(2).【C2】（分数：2.00）A.upon B.backC.offD.away解析：解析：考查动词短语辨析

25、。空格处填入的介词或副词与 call 构成动词短语，后接 sbto do sth作复合宾语。call upon sbto do sth意为“请求要求某人做某事”，符合题意。call back意为“回电话：叫(某人)回去”；call off 意为“取消，停止进行”，一般接 sth作宾语；call away意为“叫走，叫到别处去”。故选 Aupon。(3).【C3】（分数：2.00）A.honor B.beliefC.handD.way解析：解析：考查介词短语辨析。不存在 in sb.“s belief 的搭配，首先排除 B。其他项构成的固定搭配是：in sb.“ssth,“s honor 意为“

26、向表示敬意”，符合题意，表示“向他(牧神卢帕克斯)表示敬意”；in sb.“s hands 意为“受某人照料，被某人控制”；in sb.“s way 意为“以某人特有的方式”或“挡某人的路”：根据文意，Ahonor 正确。(4).【C4】（分数：2.00）A.problemsB.secretsC.names D.intentions解析：解析：考查上下文语义。从空格所在的段落看出，其内容是关于抽签选恋人的活动。由本段末句的“name”可知，本题应选 Cnames，表示“女孩的名字被写在纸上”。problems“问题”，secrets“秘密”，intentions“意图”，都不符合上下文语义。(

27、5).【C5】（分数：2.00）A.rollsB.pilesC.worksD.slips 解析：解析：考查名词辨析。空格处填入名词，与 of paper 搭配。rolls of sth意为“卷”；piles of sth.意为“成堆的东西，大量的东西”；works 意为“著作，作品；工厂”，不与 paper 搭配；slip本身意为“纸条，便条，小纸片”，它常与 of paper 搭配，表示“纸条”。由于本段倒数第二句出现了a slip，根据文意，应选 Dslips。(6).【C6】（分数：2.00）A.castB.caughtC.drew D.found解析：解析：考查动词辨析。选项为四个动词

28、的过去式形式。cast“(用力)投，掷，抛”；catch“接住，拦住；捉住”；draw“抽(签，牌)，抓(阄)”；find“发现”。根据文意，应表达“年轻男子从中抽出纸条”的含义，故选 Cdrew。(7).【C7】（分数：2.00）A.givenB.chosen C.calledD.delivered解析：解析：考查动词辨析。选项为四个动词的过去分词形式，与 was 构成被动式。give“给”；choose“选择”；call“呼叫”；deliver 意为“递送，传送”。由上文可知，“年轻男子抽出了写有女孩名字的纸条”，因此女孩的名字是被“选中”，故 Bchosen 正确。(8).【C8】（分数

29、：2.00）A.tellsB.meansC.makesD.has 解析：解析：考查固定搭配。Legend has it 意为“据传说”，后面接宾语从句，是 it 替代的内容。因此，本题选 Dhas。(9).【C9】（分数：2.00）A.after B.sinceC.asD.from解析：解析：考查介词辨析。空格处填入一个介词，后面接名词短语 a Roman priest，过去分词 named Valentine 作后置定语修饰 priest。Aafter 意为“模仿，依照”，符合文意，空格所在句子相当于Valentines Day was named after a Roman priest(

30、圣瓦伦丁节是以一名罗马牧师的名字命名的)。其他项虽然都可作介词，但 since“自从”，as“作为”，from“从”，均不符合文意。(10).【C10】（分数：2.00）A.ordered B.pleadedC.envisionedD.believed解析：解析：考查动词辨析。空格处填入的动词需接不定式的复合结构作宾语。符合要求的只有Aordered。order sbto do sth意为“命令指挥要求(某人做某事)”，符合文义。plead 的常用搭配是 plead with sbto do sth，意为“恳求(某人做某事)”；envision 意为“展望，想象”，一般只接 sth作宾语；be

31、lieve 意为“相信”，可接 sbsth或从句作宾语，但不接不定式。(11).【C11】（分数：2.00）A.otherB.simplyC.rather D.all解析：解析：考查固定搭配。would ratherthan意为“宁愿而不愿”，rather 和 than 后都接省略to 的不定式，因此 Crather 正确。other 只能作形容词或代词，表示“别的，其他的”，放入空格中不符合语法；simply“仅仅”，all“全部，都”可作副词，与后面的 than 无法呼应。(12).【C12】（分数：2.00）A.dislikedB.defied C.defeatedD.dishonore

32、d解析：解析：考查动词辨析。dislike“不喜欢，厌恶”；defy“藐视，挑衅”；defeat“击败”；dishonor“使蒙羞”。上文提到，“国王禁止士兵结婚”，而下文则提到，“瓦伦丁秘密让年轻人成婚”。显然，这是“藐视国王”的做法。故选 Bdefied。(13).【C13】（分数：2.00）A.celebrationB.arrangementC.feastD.eve 解析：解析：考查语篇理解。空格部分“the _ of Lupercalia”与上文“February 14th”是同位语的关系。Lupercalia 指“牧神节”，第一段第三句提到该节日的时间是 2 月 15 日。因此 2

33、月 14 日是该节日的前夕，故本题应选 Deve。celebration“庆祝”；arrangement“安排”；feast“节日；宴会”，均不符合文意。(14).【C14】（分数：2.00）A.goatB.saint C.modelD.weapon解析：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Bsaint 正确。(15).【C15】（分数：2.00）A.becauseB.madeC.instead D.learnt解析：解析：考查短语辨

34、析。空格处填入的词与介词 of 搭配，连接两个并列的名词 Valentine 和Lupercus。because 和 instead 与 of 都构成介词短语：because of 意为“因为”，后面一般接原因，不符合语境；instead of 意为“代替，而不是”，符合文义，放在句中表示“现在这个节日纪念的是瓦伦丁而不再是牧神卢帕克斯”。made 和 learnt 则与 of 构成了过去分词短语，(be)made of 意为“由构成”；learn of 意为“听到，获悉”，均不符合语境。故选 Cinstead。(16).【C16】（分数：2.00）A.partB.representative

35、C.judgementD.symbol 解析：解析：考查名词辨析。part 作可数名词时，意为“部分，片断”，representative 意为“代表”，这两个词都强调整体与部分之间的关系；judgement 作可数名词时，意为“看法，意见，评价”；symbol意为“象征”。由下文可知，人们情人节的一些举动来表达爱意，因此它是爱的象征，应选择Dsymbol。(17).【C17】（分数：2.00）A.storyB.wanderC.arrow D.play解析：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，被其射中者将坠人情网。因此本题应选 Carrow“箭”

36、。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。(18).【C18】（分数：2.00）A.portray B.requireC.demandD.alert解析：解析：考查动词辨析。portray“描绘，描画；表现”，代入句中意为“古代的爱神丘比特和他射人爱人心中的箭也许仍然被用来表现爱上某人或谈恋爱”，符合语境。require“需要，要求”；demand“要求”；alert 意为“向报警，使警觉”，均不符合文义。故选 Aportray。(19).

37、【C19】（分数：2.00）A.KeepingB.DisapprovingC.SupportingD.Forgetting 解析：解析：考查动词辨析。空格所在句子为全文的最后一句，其主干结构为_ to give flowers can be asas forgetting a birthday。该句中有一个比较结构，因此相比较的事物应具有一定的可比性。首先从语法上看，能接不定式作宾语的只有 DForgetting。Keep 一般接动名词作宾语；Disapprove常接 of sthsb作宾语；Support 常接 sbsth作宾语，其次，“forgetting”一词在下文中也出现，在上下文比较

38、的含义上体现了呼应。(20).【C20】（分数：2.00）A.constructiveB.damaging C.reinforcingD.retorting解析：解析：考查形容词辨析。空格处填入形容词，构成“as+adj+as”的同级比较结构。因此，该形容词说明的是上文“在圣瓦伦丁节忘记给妻子或恋人送花”和下文“忘记生日或结婚纪念日”共同的特点。constructive“建设性的，积极的”；damaging“造成破坏的，有害的”；reinforcing 是动词reinforce“加强，充实；加固”的现在分词，retorting 是动词 retort“反驳，回嘴”的现在分词，一般都不作形容词用。

39、根据上下文语境可知，该特点是负面的，消极的，故 Bdamaging 正确。Older people must be given more chances to learn if they are to contribute to society rather than be a financial burden, according to a new study on population published recently. The current approach which【C1】_on younger people and on skills for employment not 【

40、C2】_ to meet the challenges of demographic change, it says. Only 1% of the education budget is 【C3】_ spent on the oldest third of the population. The 【C4】_include the fact that most people can expect to spend a third of their lives in 【C5】_, that there are now more people over 59 than under 16 and t

41、hat 11.3 million people are【C6】_state pension age. “ 【C7】_needs to continue throughout life. Our historic concentration of policy attention and resources【C8】_young people cannot meet the new【C9】_,“ says the report“ s author, Professor Stephen McNair. The major【C10】_of our education budget is spent o

42、n people below the age of 25. 【C11】_ people are changing their jobs, 【C12】_, partners and lifestyles more often than【C13】_, they need opportunities to learn at every age. 【C14】_some people are starting new careers in their 50s and later.

43、o the later stages of employed life, and to plan for the transition【C16】_retirement which may now happen 【C17】_at any point from 50 to over 90, says McNair. And there should be more money【C18】_to support people in establishing a【C19】_of identity and finding constructive【C20】_for the “third age“, the

44、 20 or more years they will spend in healthy retired life.（分数：40.00）(1).【C1】（分数：2.00）A.operatesB.focuses C.countsD.depends解析：解析：考查动词短语辨析。operate on 意为“给做手术，产生作用”；focus on 意为“集中于，聚焦在”；count on 意为“依靠；对有信心”；depend on 意为“依靠，依赖”。上文提到，一项新的研究指出，应该为老年人提供更多的学习机会，为社会奉献余热，这里接着指出目前的做法是什么。由语境可判断，现行的做法是与新研究冲突的，即目

45、前的教育体系聚焦于年轻人而非老年人，故本题选Bfocuses。此处的 focus 与第四段 our historic concentration of policy 中的 concentration 构成同义复现。(2).【C2】（分数：2.00）A.superiorB.regularC.essentialD.adequate 解析：解析：考查形容词辨析。由空后的 to meet the challenges可知，本句应该是说，目前只关注年轻人和工作技能的做法是不足以应对人口结构的变化的，选项中的 Dadequate 意为“足够的，满足需求的”，符合句意，故为答案。superior 意为“优越

46、的”；regular 意为“有规律的”；essential 意为“基本的”，都与句意不符。(3).【C3】（分数：2.00）A.currently B.barelyC.anxiouslyD.heavily解析：解析：考查副词辨析。此句意为“只有 1的教育预算花在最老的那三分之一人口身上”，这一句是接着上句讲 the current approach 的，结合选项可知，本题选 Acurrently 与上句的 current 属于同义复现。barely 意为“贫乏地”；anxiously 意为“忧虑地，渴望地”；heavily 意为“沉重地，吃力地”，均不符合题意。(4).【C4】（分数：2.00

47、）A.regulationsB.obstaclesC.challenges D.guidelines解析：解析：考查名词辨析。此段只有一句话，包含 3 个由 that 引导的并列的同位语从句，进一步阐述上一段提到的 the challenges of demographic change，即老年人比年轻人多的情况。regulation 意为“规则，规章”；obstacle 意为“障碍”；challenge 意为“挑战”；guide line 意为“方针”。结合选项可知，此处选 Cchallenges，属于原词复现。(5).【C5】（分数：2.00）A.enjoymentB.retirement C.stabilityD.inability解析：解析：考查名词辨析。此句意为“大多数人一生中预计有三分之一的时光是_中度过的”，与其后的“目前 59 岁以上的人比 16 岁以下的人要多”并列，均表示目前老年人口众多这一事实。四个选项中只有 retirement 与老年人相关，故选 Bretirement。enjoyment 意为“享受，乐趣”；stability 意为“固定，牢固”；inability 意为“没有能力”，均
