The Value of Motherhood
In shopping malls,the assistants try to push you into buying“a gift to thank her for her unselfish love”.When you log onto a website,a small popo-up invites you to book a bouquet for her. Commercial warmth and gratitude are the atmosphere being spread around for this special Sunday in May.

______(2)They buy,among other things,132 million cards. Mother's Day is the No. 1 holiday for flower purchases.Then there are the various commodities,ranging from jewelry and clothes to cosmetics and washing powder,that take advantage of the promotion opportu- nities.Because of this,Jarvis spent the last 40 years of her life trying to stop Mother's Day.

第3题：
A centuries-old tradition，illustrated in a modem children's book. 1inks the sweetness of honey with the joy of learning to read.
“The grandpa held a jar of honey so that all the family could see. He then dipped a spoon into it and put some honey on the cover of a small book.
The little girl had just turned five.
‘Stand up，little one，’he asked the girl softly. ‘I did this for your mother，your uncles，your older brother，and now you!’
Then，he handed the book to her. ‘Taste!’
She touched the honey with her finger and put it into her mouth.
‘What's that taste?’the grandpa asked.
The little girl answered，‘Sweet!’
Then all of the family said in a single voice，‘Yes，and so is knowledge，but knowledge is from the bee that made that sweet honey，you have to go after it through the pages of a book!’
The little girl knew that the promise to read was at last hers. Soon she was going to learn to read. ”
This is the beginning of a profoundly moving children's book entitled Thank You，Mr. Falker. In this book，Patricia Polacco writes of her own passion to read，inspired by the honey on the book. It wasn't until fifth grade that she met her beloved teacher who provided the hlep that she needed to finally unlock the magic of the written word.
Reading this book，we are in fact acquainted with some enduring traditions of child education that stress the importance of verbal capacity at a very early age.
The child learning to read is admitted into a collective memory by way of books. And with the printed words that are active with meaning，the child becomes acquainted with a common past which he or she renews，to a greater or lesser degree，in every reading. Much as the author of the book Thank You，Mr. Falker puts it，“Almost as if it were magic，or as if light poured into her brain，the words and sentences started to take shape on the page as they never had before…And she understood the whole thing…Then she went into the living room and found the book on a shelf，the very book that her grandpa had shown her so many years ago. She spooned honey on the cover and tasted the sweetness…Then she held the book，honey and all，close to her chest. She could feel tears roll down her cheeks，but they weren't tears of sadness-she was happy，so very happy. ”
The girl who tasted the honey on the book was______.
A．nearly six years old
B．less than five years old
C．more than six years old
D．a little more than five years old
正确答案：D
解析：事实细节题。由第三段可知：那个女孩刚过5岁。因此，D项符合题意。 -
第4题：
As she walked round the huge department store,Edith reflected how difficult it was to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father.She wish that he was as easy to please as her mother, who was always delighted with perfume
Besides,shoppong at this time of the year was a most disgreeable experience :people trod on your toes,poked you with their elbows and almost knocked you overin their haste to get to a bargain ahead of you.
Partly to have a rest, Edith paused in front of a counter where some attracive ties were on display. "They are real silk," the assistant assured her, trying to tempt her. "Worth double the price." But edit knew from past experience that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.
She moved on reluctantly and then quite by chance, stopped where a small crowd of man had gathered round a counter. She found some good quality pipes on sale-----and the prices were very reasonable. Edith did not hesitate for long : although her father only smoked a pipe occasionally, she knew that this was a present which was bund to please him.
When she got home,with her small well-chosen present concealed in her handbag, her parents were already at the supper table. Her mother was in an especially cheerful mood, "Your father has at last to decided to stop smoking." She informed her daughter.
Edith's father smoked a pipe_______.a.when he was obliged
b.on social occasions

A:.The American version of Mother's Day was thought up as early as 1905,by Anna Jarvis,as a way of recognizing the real value of motherhood.
B: But what's more,commercialism changes young people's attitude towards mother-hood.
C: Obviously,the best gift will be a phone call or a visit.
D: According to a research by the US card company Hallmark,96 percent of American consumers celebrate the holiday.
E: As a result,motherhood has suffered a huge drop in status since the 1950s.
F: In addition,women are being encouraged to pursue any career they desire.答案：F解析：这篇文章的出题很特殊：所有的空格均为段首句。段首句常常可能是观点句或概括句或承上启下句等，所以解题时可能需要总结空格所在段落的意义，甚至可能需要关注空格所在段落与上一段之间的意义关系。空格所在段落中出现了特征词Jarvis，这是某个人的姓，由此推断出前文中一定会出现这个人的全名。第一段中没有出现Jarvis这个人的全名，因此只好是空格处出现这个人的全名了，因此A是答案。提示：如果文章中出现了某个人不完整的名字，则前文中一定有关于这个人的介绍，也一定会涉及到这个人的全名。
空格后句中出现了人称代词they，根据该句句意判断they指“购买者/消费者”。由此判断空格前句中一定会出现与该代词呼应的代词或其指代的名词，因此备选项中只有B（出现了young people/年轻人）,D（出现了American consumers/美国消费者）和F（出现了women/妇女）可能是答案。空格后句中提到了cards (贺卡），而D中也出现了card，因此D是答案。
空格后句中出现了commercialism（商业主义）和motherhood（母性），而备选项B中正好出现了这两个词，因此B项可能是答案。其实第三段的主要内容是进一步讲述表现在母亲节中的商业主义以及人们杭议母亲节中的商业主义，包括Anna Jarvis个人所做的努力。从内容上看，第四段是讲由于商业主义的影响人们对母性的看法发生了变化。选项B 是合适的，它是该段的主题句。
空格后句中出现了人称代词they，而且从句意上看they指代人，因此空格处应该出现代词they，或受到they指代的名词。因此只有F（出现了women/妇女）可能是答案。其实第五段是对第四段主题的进一步阐述，因此答案是F。
空格后句提到“据《守卫者》报道，当今没有孩子的年轻女性是上一代人的两倍”。现在只剩下C项“很明显，最好的礼物是打个电话或上门拜访”和E项“因此，从20世纪50年代以来，为母之道出现巨大滑落”，显然E出现在空格中合适：E是观点，空格后的句子在围绕E提出的观点进行解释。 -
第6题：
All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great amhition:to De the lucky?customer who did not have to pay for her shopping.For this was what the notice just inside the?entrance promised.It said:"Remember,once a week,one of our customers gets free goods.This?May Be Your Lucky Day!"

Mrs.Edwards__________.A.is always very lucky
B.had no friends

第（29）题答案A.continue
B.remember
C.start
D.try答案：A解析：【考情点拨】理解推断题。【应试指导】本句意为：当你的孩子长大一些了．要继续跟她说话。前文已提到要跟你的孩子说话，所以continue继续，符合句意。其他几个动词虽然都可以接动词的-ing形式，但不符合本句的意思。故选A。 -

Knowing Your Real Personality from Sleeping Positions
Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real.You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself,but when you're asleep,your sleeping position shows the real you.In a normal night,of course,you often change your sleeping positions.The important position that best shows your se-cret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
If you go to sleep on your back,you're a very open person.You nbrmally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas.You don't like to make people unhappy,so you never ex-press your real feelings.You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.
If you sleep on your stomach,you are a person who likes to keep secrets.You worry a lot and you're always easily becoming sad.You never want to change your ideas,but you are satisfied with your life the way it is.You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
If you sleep on curled up,you are probably a very nervous person.You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt,so you are very defensive.You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people.You like to be on your own.
If you sleep on your side,you have usually got a well-balanced personality.You know your strengths and weaknesses.You're usually careful.You have a confident personality.You sometimes feel worried,but you don't often get unhappy .You always say what you think,even if it makes people angry.Tina hardly tells her secrets to her friends.She probably goes to sleep______.
A: on curled up
B: on her stomach
C: on her back
D: on her side答案：B解析：整篇文章介绍的是人物的性格特征，外在的和内在的，说明和科学有关。
跟据文章第一段中“The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.”可知应该是开始睡的时候。
由文章第三段中的“If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets.”可知。
从文章第四段中“You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt,”可知，保护自己不受到伤害，那么defensive意为“有戒心的”。
由文章中的第二段到第五段可知。 -
