　　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 website,a small pop-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.

　　46__________The popularity of Mother's Day around the world suggests that Jarvis got all she wanted.In fact, she got more enough to make her horrified.

　　47__________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 cosmeties and washing powder, that take advantage of the promotion opportunities. Because of this, Jarvis spent the last 40 years of her life trying to stop Mother's Day. One protest against the comer cialization Mother's Day even got her arrested-for disturbing the peace, interestingly.

　　48__________As Ralph Fevre, a reporter at the UK newspaper The Guardian, observe, traditionally "motherhood is something that we do because we think it's right. " But in the logic of commercialism, people need something in exchange for their time and energy. A career serves this purpose better.

　　49__________So they work hard and play hard. Becoming a mother, however, inevitably handicaps career anticipation.

　　50__________According to The Guardian,there are twice as many child-free young women as there were a generation ago. Or,they put off the responsibility of parenting until later in their lives.

　　So,Fevre writes that the meaning of celebrating Mother's Day needs to be updated."It is to persuade people that parenting is a good idea and to honor people for their attempt to be good people. "

　　A. Commercial warmth and gratitude are the atmosphere being spread 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 motherhood.

　　C. Obviously, the best girl 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.

　　參考答案：

　　46.A【解析】句意：早在1905年，Anna Jarvis通過商業(yè)傳播的溫暖和感激氣氛，以此讓人們意識到母愛的真正價值。

　　第一段主要講了充滿商業(yè)氣氛的母親節(jié);第二段最后一句說In fact，she got more―enough to make her horrified.(事實上，她得到的很多，多得使她感到可怕。)這句中的she應(yīng)該指前面一句中提到的人名，在所有的選項中只有A項既和第一段末尾的內(nèi)容銜接緊密，而且句中也出現(xiàn)了Anna Jarvis這個人名，因此正確答案為A項。

　　47.D【解析】句意：根據(jù)美國一家賀卡公司Halmark的一項調(diào)查，美國96%的消費(fèi)者是過母親節(jié)的。

　　由第三段第二句中的card(賀卡)一詞，可知前面的一句應(yīng)該出現(xiàn)過這個詞從而引出具體的數(shù)據(jù)132 million cards，由此可以找到選項D中有card這個詞。而且第二句中的they就是指D項中的96 percent of American consumers，因此正確答案為D項。

　　48.B【解析】句意：句意：但更重要的是，商業(yè)主義改變了年輕人對母性的態(tài)度。

　　第三段主要講了母親節(jié)中的商業(yè)化，以及人們抗議它;第四段主要講了用商業(yè)主義的邏輯考慮，人們對母性發(fā)生了改變。因此B項最符合文意，同時它也是第四段的主題句。

　　49.F【解析】句意：此外，人們越來越鼓勵婦女追求任何她們想做的職業(yè)。

　　由第五段第二句中的they可以推測指的是婦女;第四段末尾說到“職業(yè)可是更好的達(dá)到這一目的”，所以F項最它銜接的最緊密。因此正確答案為F項。

　　50.E【解析】句意：因此，自20世紀(jì)50年代以來母性地位有了很大的下降。

　　第六段主要講了現(xiàn)在沒有孩子的年輕婦女是上一代的兩倍，他們把養(yǎng)育子女的責(zé)任推遲到晚年。這說明母性的地位沒有以前重要了。選項E正是對這一點的高度概括，因此E項為正確答案。
