Mother’s Day is a holiday for mothers. It is celebrated(庆祝)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(礼物)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(费城） 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(广播) 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(罪恶轰炸). Her name is Shao Yanhuan, a heroic mother. All the Chinese will remember her forever.小题1: Mother’s Day .

试题分析：本文叙述了母亲节的来历和意义。在母亲节这一天，许多人会送给自己的母亲充满爱的礼物。母亲节是美国费城的贾维斯小姐于1908年5月10日，为了纪念她的母亲而首次倡议的节日，从那以后，母亲节在世界各地深受欢迎。 小题1:细节理解题。根据第一段的 Mother’s Day is a holiday for mothers.母亲节是母亲的节日。故选A。 小题2:推理判断题。根据最后一段的On May 8, 1999, just the day before the Mother’s Day that year,1999年5月8日是那年母亲节的前一天，可知1999年的母亲节是5月9日。故选C。 小题3:细节理解题。根据第一段的On that day, many people send gifts(礼物)of love to their mothers.在那天，许多人送给他们的母亲爱的礼物。故选D。 小题4:词义猜测题。第四段的This might cost a little money for some of them, but, as it is said, “Love is invaluable .”but前面的句意为，这可能花不了他们多少钱，不值钱。but表示转折关系，所以后面的句意为但是很有价值，是无价的。故选B。 小题5:推理判断题。最后一段的a Chinese mother was killed in criminal bombing(罪恶轰炸). 和Her name is Shao Yanhuan, a heroic mother. 可知AC项意思正确。第四段的In China, people do the same on the day for mothers. 所以中国人在母亲节这一天为母亲做的事和美国人一样。因此B项意思正确。故选D。
