21、oday, with rite giving of candy, flowers, or other gifts between couples in love, it originated in 5th Century Rome as a respect【 C1】 _St. Valentine, a Catholic bishop. For eight hundred years before the【 C2】 _(establish)of Valentines Day, the Romans had【 C3】 pr_a pagan(异教徒 )celebration in mid-Febru

22、ary honoring young mens ceremony of passage to the god Lupercus. The celebration was characterized by lottery in【 C4】 _young men would draw the names of【 C5】teen_girls from a box. The girl given to each young man in this way would be his companion the rest of the year. In an effort to do away with s

23、uch a【 C6】 f_, Pope Gelasius ordered a slight change in the lottery. Instead of the names of young women, the box would contain the names of saints. 【 C7】 _the men and women were allowed to draw from the box, and the game was to【 C8】 imi_the ways of the saint they drew during the rest of rite year.

24、However, many young Roman men were not too pleased【 C9】 _the copying. Instead of the pagan god Lupercus , the Church looked for a suitable saint of love to take his【 C10】 p_. They found an appropriate choice in Valentine, who, in AD 270 had been killed by Enter Claudius. 46 【 C1】 47 【 C2】 48 【 C3】 4

He had his own chauffeur who drove him to where he was to give the talk. Th

26、e chauffeur sat at the back of the room while he was giving his lecture, and then drove him home. One day, the chauffeur said to Einstein, “Professor, I have heard you give your talk so many times that I know every word of it. “ “Do you?“ Einstein said with a smile. “Lets find out, shall we? You giv

27、e my next talk for me. Nobody knows what I look like where were going. Im just a name to them. “ Just before they reached the university where Einstein was to give his talk, he changed places with his chauffeur. The chauffeurs memory was excellent and he was able to give Einsteins talk exactly as Ei

28、nstein gave it. He did not understand a word he was saying, but this did not seem to matter. Then, as he was leaving the university, one of the teachers who had been at the talk came up to him. “Professor Einstein,“ he said. “That was a most interesting talk. Id be grateful if you would answer a que

29、stion. “ The chauffeur hurried on. “Im sorry,“ he said, “but Im late for my next meeting. “ “Ill walk with you,“ the teacher said. “I want to talk to you about the problem. “ The teacher walked along beside the chauffeur and asked him to solve a very difficult mathematical problem. The poor chauffeu

30、r couldnt understand the problem, let alone attempt an answer. He did not know what to say. Then he had an idea. “Its so simple,“ he said. “Even my chauffeur could answer it. “ He pointed to his car, where Einstein was standing, still wearing the chauffeurs cap. “This man has a maths question,“ he s

31、aid to Einstein. “Its so easy Im sure even you can answer it. “ Summary: Albert Einstein was a famous scientist who worked out the Theory of Relativity. He used to travel around the country with his chauffeur giving【 A1】 _on mathematics. His chauffeur knew his talk very well so Einstein asked him to

32、 give the talk at the next【 A2】 _where they did not know him. The chauffeur did well, but afterwards a teacher came up to him and asked him a difficult【 A3】 _. The chauffeur did not know the answer but he said, “This problem is so simple Im sure my chauffeur knows【 A4】 _it. “ Then he pointed to Eins

33、tein still standing 【 A5】_beside the car. 56 【 A1】 57 【 A2】 58 【 A3】 59 【 A4】 60 【 A5】 Section B 60 Today men are facing new expectations and new choices about their commitments to society, family and work. No longer certain what goals they should pursue, much less how they should pursue them, many

34、men have found themselves in a no-mans land, searching for new meanings and definitions of maturity. In interviews I conducted with 138 men from diverse social and economic background, 36 percent defined their family and work commitments in terms of primary breadwinning, and 30 percent chose to esch

35、ew parenthood or to avoid involvement with children they had brought into the world. However, about 33 percent had moved toward more rather than less family involvement over the course of their lives. These men develop an outlook on parenthood that included caretaking as well as economic support. Th

36、ey represent a growing group of fathers, most of whom are married to work-committed women and have an egalitarian approach toward marriage and family commitments, who are changing diapers, pushing strollers, cuddling their children, and generally sharing in the pleasures and burdens of child rearing

37、. Such men, whom I call “involved fathers“ , are demonstrating a capacity, a willingness, and an enthusiasm for parenting not seen in their fathers and grandfathers generations. An involved father, however, is not necessarily an equal father. Though mens domestic participation has increased in recen

38、t years, his involvement has not kept in pace with womens rapidly rising commitment to paid employment. A persistent “housework gap“ has left most women with more work and less leisure time than their male counterparts. According to some estimates, when the time spent performing paid work, housework

39、, and child care is added together, men work an average of 88 fewer hours a year than do women. It may be tempting to focus on the fact that, even among men who support equality, their involvement as fathers remains a far distance from what most women want and most children need. Yet it is also impo

40、rtant to acknowledge how far and how fast many men have moved toward a pattern that not long ago virtually all men considered anathema. One recent survey found that 73 percent of a group of randomly selected fathers agreed strongly that “their families are the most important facet of their lives“ :

41、87 percent agreed that “dad is as vital as mom in raising kids“. The challenge is to create the social and cultural arrangements that would enable men to uphold these beliefs more easily. 61 In the interview, 36% of the men view their family and work commitments as primary bread-winning （ A） TURE （

42、B） FALSE 62 “Involved fathers“ mean men who are willing to cany through family commitments. （ A） TURE （ B） FALSE 63 A recent survey demonstrated that half of men agreed that “dad is as vital as mom in raising kids“. （ A） TURE （ B） FALSE 64 In the last paragraph, what does the word “anathema“ probabl

43、y mean? 65 According to the passage, for most fathers, what is the most important facet of their lives? Section C 65 The treatment of the gypsy population of the United Kingdom is disgraceful. Local authorities are slow to provide permanent sites on which gypsies may camp. Some authorities prefer to

44、 neglect the problem of the education of gypsy children. But these authorities have a legal obligation both to provide camp sites and to ensure that the children attend school. It is a sad reflection on our society that there should be such reluctance to comply with the law. The reasons, however, ar

45、e not difficult to find. Gypsies are widely reputed to be lazy, dirty and dishonest. No proud house-owner wishes to see a slovenly gypsy encampment a short distance down the road. His suburban spirit is shocked by the huddled caravans and ancient cars or ill-kept ponies: he is repelled by the sloven

46、ly women and the hordes of apparently unwashed children. And, of course, the majority of elected councilors are just such proud house-owners. But gypsies are, in large part, what we have made them. Ever since their arrival in Britain more than three-and-a-half centuries ago, they have been treated a

47、s a criminal race. They came to this country proudly proclaiming themselves Counts of Egypt, but within a few years they found that every mans hand was raised against them. Somehow they have survived, a burden upon our conscience. The law no longer discriminates against them, as it does in so many o

48、ther countries, but our society is still hostile toward them. We cannot hope for any dramatic changes in their position. The barrier of generations of mistrust can only be slowly broken down. The first step is to ensure that they are provided with adequate sites both for those willing to live in per

49、manent camps and for those who are still confirmed nomads. After all, a camp site is far cheaper than a housing project, and gypsies who have been obliged to abandon their traditional sites because of the spread of our towns surely have a right to a place to live. Again, surely everybody would benefit from the provision of w
