1. Directions: Read the following passage and choose the correct answer for each question or statement. [题 Valentine was a bishop(注数) living in the Roman Empire. During his lifetime, the goldener ra of the Roman Empire had almost come to an end. The Roman Empire faced crises from all sides. Naturally, more and more capable men were required to be recruited as soldiers. When Claudius became emperor, he felt that married men were more emotionally attached to their families, and thus would not make good soldiers. So he issued an edict(法令) forbidding marriage in order to ensure quality soldiers. Valentine saw the trauma(创伤) of young lovers who gave up all hope of being united in marriage. He planned to counter the emperor's orders in secret. He secretly performed many marriages for young lovers. But such things could not remain hidden for long, It was only a matter of time before claudius came to know about it, and had him arrested. Valentine is believed to have been executed(处次) on February 14th,270AD. Thus February 14th became a day for all lovers and Valentine became its Patron Saint. This day began to be annually observed by young Romans who offered handwritten greetings of affection, known as"Valentines", on this day to the women they admired. And the day came to be known as SC Valentine's Day. [单选题20分 1.1 In Claudius'mind, what situation would not produce good soldiers? A. Married men's emotional attachment to their families.
