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.

1. C 美国议会负责制定法律。make the laws；制定法律。Carry out；执行。议会不可能执行法律.法律应由具体的部门去执行。
2. D 本句是非限定性定语从句，which在从句中做主语。句义：议会分为两部分，他们在权利上差不多平等。
3. D 议会的两部分就是人们所知道的众议院和参议院。
4. B 根据上下文提示，议员总数为435人，参议院占100人，众议院比参议院人数多。英语中表示人数或人口“多”用large 表达
5. A serve在此是“任职”的意思。这100人任职长达6年。
6. D 根据上下文可知: 议会议员是由投票选举产生的. Select:选择; change:改变; chosen:选择，所以A，B，C不符和题义。Elected：选举。
7. C
8.C 根据句义：每个州的议员人数是由该州的人口总数决定的
9. B
10. A 加利福尼亚州人口较多，有43名议员，而内华达州只有一个议员. While连词：而强调前后的对比。
11. C 根据句义：参众两院分成若干小组负责诸如教育，外交等特殊事物。In charge of“负责”，但它和主语which之间缺少谓语be动词。所以A排除。Take care of “照顾，……负责”符合题义。B、D的词义与文章不符。
12. B
13. D 根据句义：议会中最重要的工作通常是由这些被称为委员会的小组完成的
14. A 15. D
16. B 根据美国宪法，参议员最低年龄为30岁，并且到他被选举为参议员之时他必须已成为美国公民满九年。
17. C and表示“并且”竞选众议员必须年龄在25岁以上，并且取得美国公民资格满7年。
18. B include:包括。根据句义，美国国会议员包括商人，农场主，教师特别是律师。而accept：接受，unite：统一，联合，invite：邀请。这几个答案不合题义。
19. A 根据举句义:参议员比众议员更为出名。Better 是well的比较级。
20. A 根据句义：参议员人数少且任期长。此句的主语是“人”所以描述“多”与“少”的形容词用few /little，不能用little修饰。
