Question

 Mother’s Day is a holiday for mothers. It is celebrated(慶祝)in the United States, England, India and some other countries. In a short time, it becomes widely celebrated. Mother’s day falls on the second Sunday in May. On that day, many people send gifts(禮物)of love to their mothers.

Those whose mothers are still living often wear a pink or red rose or carnation(康乃馨)， while those whose mothers are dead wear a white one.

The idea of a day for mothers was first given by Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia. As a result of her hard work, the celebration of the first American Mother’s Day was held in Philadelphia(費城） on May 10, 1908. Soon the holiday became popular all over the country and around the world.

In China, people do the same on the day for mothers. And, in some cities, people sometimes ask a song to be broadcast(廣播) for his or her mother only. This might cost a little money for some of them, but, as it is said, “Love is invaluable.”

On May 8, 1999, just the day before the Mother’s Day that year, a Chinese mother was killed in criminal bombing(罪惡轟炸). Her name is Shao Yanhuan, a heroic mother. All the Chinese will remember her forever.

【解析】

試題分析：本文敘述了母親節(jié)的來歷和意義。在母親節(jié)這一天，許多人會送給自己的母親充滿愛的禮物。母親節(jié)是美國費城的賈維斯小姐于1908年5月10日，為了紀念她的母親而首次倡議的節(jié)日，從那以后，母親節(jié)在世界各地深受歡迎。

1.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的 Mother’s Day is a holiday for mothers.母親節(jié)是母親的節(jié)日。故選A。

2.推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的On May 8, 1999, just the day before the Mother’s Day that year,1999年5月8日是那年母親節(jié)的前一天，可知1999年的母親節(jié)是5月9日。故選C。

3.細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的On that day, many people send gifts(禮物)of love to their mothers.在那天，許多人送給他們的母親愛的禮物。故選D。

4.詞義猜測題。第四段的This might cost a little money for some of them, but, as it is said, “Love is invaluable.”but前面的句意為，這可能花不了他們多少錢，不值錢。but表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以后面的句意為但是很有價值，是無價的。故選B。

5.推理判斷題。最后一段的a Chinese mother was killed in criminal bombing(罪惡轟炸). 和Her name is Shao Yanhuan, a heroic mother. 可知AC項意思正確。第四段的In China, people do the same on the day for mothers. 所以中國人在母親節(jié)這一天為母親做的事和美國人一樣。因此B項意思正確。故選D。
