三. 閱讀理解
Valentine’s Day is on 14, February each year. It is a day for lovers, and one of the loveliest holidays in the United States.
Very few Americans know the story of Valentine’s Day. One English story says that more than 2,000 years ago the ancient Romans celebrate a holiday for lovers. As part of the celebration, girls wrote names on pieces of paper and put them in a large container. Boys reached their hands into the container and pulled one out. The girl whose name was written on the paper became his lover or sweetheart for a year. Then came a Roman priest Valentinus, who secretly performed marriage ceremonies for many young lovers against Roman King’s order. The Roman Emperor got angry and ordered the killing of Valentinus on February 14, 269 AD.
It is very popular to send cards decorated with hearts and flowers to express love. Today many Americans like to send humorous cards to their husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, relatives, and even special friends. Some enjoy the joke of sending “guess who” cards to a person he or she secretly admires. Sometimes they put their love message in a heart-shaped box of chocolates, or a bunch of flowers tied with red ribbons. Candy, perfume, jewelry or a picture with a heart and Cupid（the Roman god of love）, who is armed with a bow and arrow, are also sent to express love. Many couples arrange romantic dinners by candlelight for this occasion. Universities also hold a Sweetheart Ball for the young students to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

二. 完型填空
1. C 美國議會負責制定法律。make the laws；制定法律。Carry out；執行。議會不可能執行法律.法律應由具體的部門去執行。
2. D 本句是非限定性定語從句，which在從句中做主語。句義：議會分為兩部分，他們在權利上差不多平等。
3. D 議會的兩部分就是人們所知道的眾議院和參議院。
4. B 根據上下文提示，議員總數為435人，參議院占100人，眾議院比參議院人數多。英語中表示人數或人口“多”用large 表達
5. A serve在此是“任職”的意思。這100人任職長達6年。
6. D 根據上下文可知: 議會議員是由投票選舉產生的. Select:選擇; change:改變; chosen:選擇，所以A，B，C不符和題義。Elected：選舉。
7. C
8.C 根據句義：每個州的議員人數是由該州的人口總數決定的
9. B
10. A 加利福尼亞州人口較多，有43名議員，而內華達州只有一個議員. While連詞：而強調前后的對比。
11. C 根據句義：參眾兩院分成若干小組負責諸如教育，外交等特殊事物。In charge of“負責”，但它和主語which之間缺少謂語be動詞。所以A排除。Take care of “照顧，……負責”符合題義。B、D的詞義與文章不符。
12. B
13. D 根據句義：議會中最重要的工作通常是由這些被稱為委員會的小組完成的
14. A 15. D
16. B 根據美國憲法，參議員最低年齡為30歲，并且到他被選舉為參議員之時他必須已成為美國公民滿九年。
17. C and表示“并且”競選眾議員必須年齡在25歲以上，并且取得美國公民資格滿7年。
18. B include:包括。根據句義，美國國會議員包括商人，農場主，教師特別是律師。而accept：接受，unite：統一，聯合，invite：邀請。這幾個答案不合題義。
19. A 根據舉句義:參議員比眾議員更為出名。Better 是well的比較級。
20. A 根據句義：參議員人數少且任期長。此句的主語是“人”所以描述“多”與“少”的形容詞用few /little，不能用little修飾。
三. 閱讀理解
1. D 根據第二段：Then came a Roman priest Valentinus, who secretly performed marriage ceremonies for many young lovers against Roman King’s order.可以得知Valentinus被羅馬帝國皇帝殺死的原因。
2. C 根據第三段最后一句：Universities also hold a Sweetheart Ball for the young students to celebrate Valentine’s Day.可以得知大學生慶祝情人節的方式。
3. D 文章的第二段講述了歷史上情人節的來歷，第三段講述了現代人特別是年輕人慶祝情人節的方式。由此可以判斷出文章的主旨。
4. A 從第三段：Some enjoy the joke of sending “guess who” cards to a person he or she secretly admires.可以看出這種賀卡上一般不簽名。
