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…".

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".

Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient custom which has existed for at least six thousand years.It was always evil and usually foolish,but in the past the human race managed to live with it. Modern skill has changed this.Either man will stop war,or war will stop man.For the present,it is nuclear weapons that cause the greatest danger,but bacteriological(细菌的)or chemical weapons may,before long,offer an even greater threat.If we succeeded in stopping war,there would be no danger for us.To do this,we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way,not by contests of force,in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in massacre(大屠杀),but by arbitration(仲裁)in accordance with agreed principles of law.It is not easy to change old mental habits,but this is what must be attempted.

There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology(意识形态)would prevent war.I believe this to be a complete error.All ideologies are based upon beliefs without proof which are,at best,doubtful,and at worst, totally false.Those people who believe them are willing to go to war in support of them.

The movement of world opinion during the past two years has changed very largely such as we can welcome.It has become a common belief that nuclear war must be avoided.Of course,very difficult problems remain in the international world,but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago.It has begun to be thought,even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die,that agreements should be reached even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory.It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between East and West,but between Man and the bomb.

A. abolishing war B. improving weapons

C. solving international problems D. living a peaceful life

A. is a supporter of some modern thoughts

3.The last paragraph suggests that .

A. nuclear war will certainly not take place

B. real agreements have been now reached

C. world opinion is still divided on nuclear war

D. man is beginning to realize that nuclear war is his greatest enemy

Red envelopes have been related to the Chinese Lunar New Year for long. I myself have had plenty of experiences both receiving and giving out red envelopes in the past, 1. I mean, who doesn’t love free money?

I’m truly surprised by the extent of people’s obsession with virtual red envelopes this year. In fact, everyone I know spent at least a day or two crazily shaking their smart phones, 2. Thanks to messaging app giant We Chat’s new feature which allows users to send money electronically, grabbing virtual red envelopes has never seemed so easy.

3. here’s how it works. Givers link their We Chat to their bank accounts, and then they can send specified amounts of money to their We Chat accounts through a personal message. They can also put the cash up for grabs in chat groups full of friends, and anyone who acts fast enough will get a share. 4.

In theory, this sounds like a fun game. I’m always for some harmless fun in life, so my natural response would be: Why not? Moreover, I’ve always believed that it’s human nature to want free stuff, regardless of whether you actually need it or not. This may not be a good quality, but it’s not against the law, 5. Considering these reasons, I really can’t fault anyone for their enthusiasm in grabbing virtual red envelopes. I would have done it too, had I not thought linking We Chat to my bank accounts was too much trouble.

A. and we know everyone likes money.

B. and generally speaking, it’s been fun.

C. if you want to be good at grabbing a red envelope.

D. Just in case you are one of the very few people still not on the bandwagon,

E. mostly trying to get as much lucky money as possible.

F. so I won’t get all judgmental here.

G. Later,receivers can transfer the funds from their We Chat back into their own bank accounts.
