　　答案与题解：

　　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 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 第三段的主要内容是进一步讲述表现在母亲节中的商业化以及人们抗议母亲节中 的商业化,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化的影 响人们对母性,也即为母之道发生了变化。选项B是合适的，它是该段的主题句。

　　4.F 第五段是对第四段主题的进一步发展，因此用F。

　　5.E 第六段是人们对为母之道的态度的变化的总结，因此用E。
