1.Valentine's Day is the time of the year (56)when couples show their love for each other by(57)sending (send) cards,flowers and chocolates.Its origins are unclear and hidden in the river of time.Nobody knows (58)exactly (exact) who St.Valentine was,although some historians suggest he was a Roman killed in the third century AD by a Roman Emperor.(59)It is said that the first recorded Valentine's card was sent by the imprisoned Duke of Orleans in 1415.It is believed (60)that he tried to find comfort from his imprisonment by writing love poems to his wife.Now,Valentine's Day (61)is celebrated (celebrate) in many countries around the world.However,the traditions often differ from place (62)to place.In Japan,for example,it is normal for the woman to send chocolates to the man,while in South Korea April 14th is known as"Black Day"and is when the (63)unfortunate (fortunate) men who received nothing (64)on Valentine's Day gather to eat noodles and show sympathy for each other.

分析 本文讲述了情人节的由来和情人节在不同的国家有不同的风俗习惯.
解答 56.when;考查定语从句,在这个定语从句中先行词the time 指时间,故用关系副词when.
57.sending;考查非谓语动词,by是介词,后面要跟名词或名词性短语,故用动名词形式sending.
58.exactly;考查副词,此处用副词作状语修饰整个句子.
59.It;考查固定句型,It is said that…是固定句式结构,意为"据说…".
60.that; 考查固定句型,It is believed that…是固定句式结构,意为"据认为…",it作形式主语,that从句是真正的主语.
61.is celebrated;考查动词的语态,主语Valentine's Day 与动词 celebrate是动宾关系,故用被动语态is celebrated.
62.to;考查固定短语,此处用介词to与前面的from构成短语"from…to…",意为"从…到…".
63.unfortunate;考查形容词,此处用形容词作定语修饰后面的名词men,根据后面的定语从句who received nothing 可知要用否定形式unfortunate.
64.on;考查介词,具体到"在某一天"要用介词on.
65.in;考查介词,in这里指"在某一方面",play a part in doing是固定搭配,意为"在…方面起作用".
