May 20th is widely known as Chinese Internet Valentine’s Day. In Chinese, the numbers“520” sound just like “I love you.” Because of this, people have turned the date into a warm celebration of love. The following day, May 21st, has also become part of the festival.

This special day was born in the digital age. It is said that the festival started with the song Digital Romance by Mavis Fan. In the song, “520” is used to mean “I love you.” Later, musician Wu Yulong released an online hit song that connected the phrase “I love you” with “online love.” Gradually, Internet users also began to use “521” to mean both “I love you” and “I do.”

Today, it has become a popular day for expressing feelings. Young people love this romantic occasion. They send flowers and gifts, or share sweet messages with their loved ones. Many young couples even choose to get married on this day and post their happy news online as a meaningful ritual. Online shops and retailers (零售商) have also helped make the festival more popular. It is now a common romantic tradition among young people in modern China.

1.1.People connect 520 with love because of ________.

A poems

B tales

C pronunciation

D habits

解析：选C。C细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句“In Chinese, the numbers ‘520’ sound just like ‘I love you.’”可知，人们将520与爱情联系在一起是因为它的发音（pronunciation）与“我爱你”相似，因此答案选C。文中并未提及诗歌（poems）、故事（tales）或习惯（habits）是这种联系的原因，故A、B、D三项均不符合原文。故选C。

2.2. When is Chinese Internet Valentine’s Day celebrated?

A Only on May 20th.

B Only on May 21st.

C On May 20th and 21st.

D On May 19th and 20th.

解析：选C。C细节理解题。根据第一段的“May 20th is widely known as Chinese Internet Valentine’s Day”以及“The following day, May 21st, has also become part of the festival”可知，5月20日和5月21日都是这个节日的一部分，故选C。A项和B项都只说其中一天，不完整；D项中的5月19日文中并未涉及，因此不选。故选C。

3.3. What did Wu Yulong’s online song connect “I love you” with?

A Digital music.

B Online love.

C Network friends.

D Traditional festivals.

解析：选B。B细节理解题。第二段明确提到“musician Wu Yulong released an online hit song that connected the phrase ‘I love you’ with ‘online love’”，即吴玉龙的网络歌曲将“我爱你”和“网络爱情”联系在一起，故选B。A项“数字音乐”、C项“网友”和D项“传统节日”在原文有关吴玉龙歌曲的描述中均未出现，因此排除。故选B。

4.4. What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?

A The origin of the festival.

B Ways to show love.

C History of old songs.

D Popular online activities.

解析：选A。A段落大意题。第二段首句提到“This special day was born in the digital age”，接着讲述节日由范晓萱的歌曲《数字恋爱》开始，后经吴玉龙的网络歌曲将“我爱你”与“网络爱情”关联，再逐渐发展出“521”的用法，整段都在说明节日的起源，故选A。B项“表达爱意的方式”出现在第三段，C项“老歌的历史”并非本段重点，D项“流行的在线活动”过于宽泛，未能概括段落核心内容，故不选。故选A。

5.5. What does the writer say about online shops and retailers?

A They have stopped advertising love products.

B They refuse to sell gifts on this day.

C They think the festival is too commercial.

D They have made the festival more popular.

解析：选D。D细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Online shops and retailers (零售商) have also helped make the festival more popular.”可知，网店和零售商帮助这个节日变得更加流行，所以选D。A项“停止宣传爱情产品”、B项“拒绝在这一天销售礼物”和C项“认为这个节日太商业化”都与原文表述相反或未提及。故选D。
