第十三篇The Value of Motherhood 母性的价值 In shopping malls, the assistants try to push you into buying a gift to thank her for her unselfish love.在商场里，售货员极力地向你推销：“为了感谢母亲无私的爱，为她买束鲜花吧！”When you log onto a website, a small pop-up2 invites you to book a bouquet for her. 当你登录到一个网站的时候，一张小的弹出式菜单要你为她订一束花。Commercial warmth and gratitude are the atmosphere being spread around for this special Sunday in May.在这个5月份特别的星期天里，到处洋溢着充满了商业化的热情和感激的气氛。___ (1 A? The American version of Mothers Day was thought up as early as 1905, by Anna Jarvis, as a way of recognizing the real value of motherhood.)____ 美国版的母亲节是在20世纪50年代被作为确定母性价值的方式由Anna Jarvis提出的。 The popularity of Mothers Day around the world suggests that Jarvis got all she wanted. In fact, she got more - enough to make her horrified.“母亲节”在全世界的流行表明Jarvis得到了她想要的一切。事实上，她得到的还要多，多得使她感到可怕。1．A第一段主要讲笼罩着母亲节的商业气氛，如店员让你买一件礼物送给你的母亲，表示你感谢她无私的爱。从语气上可以看出，作者对用商业手段表达母爱是反对的。第二段的第二个句子中有Anna Jarvis这个人的名字。最后一个句子是这么说的：In fact，she got more -enough to make her horrified.事实上，她得到的还要多，多得使她感到可怕。从内容的衔接来看，Anna Jarvis在前面很可能出现过。在所有的选项中只有A出现了这个名字，因此A是对的。_(2 D?? According to a research by the US card company Hallmark, 96 percent of American consumers celebrate the holiday.)_ 根据美国大片公司Hallmark做的一项调查显示，有96%的消费者庆贺这一节日。___ They buy, among other things, 132 million cards. Mothers Day is the N0 1 holiday for flower purchases.在各种商品之中，卡片的销售量达到1. 32亿之多。母亲节的鲜花销售量在所有节日当中位居第一。Then there are the various commodities, ranging from jewelry and clothes to cosmetics and washing powder, that take advantage of the promotion opportunities.?此外，还有各种各样其他的商品，从珠宝、衣服到化妆品、洗衣粉，都趁此机会提高销售量。 Because of this, Jarvis spent the last 40 years of her life trying to stop Mothers Day. ??因此，Jarvis在她生命的最后40年中一直努力阻止如此庆祝母亲节。One protest against the commercialization of Mothers Day even got her arrested-for disturbing the peace, interestingly.?然而有趣的是，她在一次抵制母亲节商业化的抗议中，竟然以破坏和平的名义被捕。 2．D第三段的第二个句子中出现cards（贺卡）这个词。从主题发展来看，前一句中应该出现过这个词，并且内容更概括。唯有D中出现过这个词并且论述概括，注意：主题句的陈述总是一般的。因此选D。 (3 B? But whats more, commercialism
