　　2015年職稱英語綜合類補全短文考試題(6)

　　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 onto1 a website, a small popo-up2 invites you to book a bouquet for her. Commercial warmth and gratitude are the atmosphere being spread around for this special Sunday in May.

　　_____(1)_____. 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.

　　_____(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 opportunities, Because of this, Jarvis spent the last 40 years of her life trying to stop Mother’s Day. One protest against the commercialization of Mother’s Day even got her arrested-for disturbing the peace, interestingly.

　　_____(3)_____. 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.

　　_____(4)_____. So they work hard and play hard. Becoming a mother, however, inevitably handicaps career anticipation.

　　_____(5)_____. 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.”

　　注釋：

　　F In addition, women are being encouraged to pursue any career they desire.

　　___(1) ___. The popularity of Mother’s Day around the world suggests that Javis got all she wanted. In fact, she got more ? enough to make her horrified.

　　1. A. 選項A 中出現(xiàn)了兩處詞語與空格后句中的詞語形成呼應(yīng)：Mother’s Day ? Mother’s Day, Anna Javi ? Javis, 因此A可能是答案。而且空格后句中的she在空格前句中有指代的內(nèi)容： 指代Anna Javis， 因此A是答案。

　　B But what’s more, commercialism changes young people’s attitude towards motherhood

　　C Obviously, the best gift will be a phone call or a visit.

　　D According to a research(研究) by the US card company Hallmark, 96 percent of American consumers(顧客) celebrate(歡度， 慶祝) the holiday(假日， 節(jié)日).

　　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.

　　__2__ They buy(買), among other things(其中), 132 million cards(卡片), 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 opportunities.

　　2. D. 選項D中有2詞與空格后句中的詞語呼應(yīng)(D： cards ? cards; holiday - holiday)， 因此D可能是答案。

　　提示： 細(xì)節(jié)信息句(常常帶有數(shù)字， 或出現(xiàn)了for example)常常接連出現(xiàn)。

　　B But what’s more, commercialism changes young people’s attitude towards motherhood

　　C Obviously, the best gift will be a phone call or a visit.

　　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.

　　__3__. As Ralph Fevre, a reporter(記者) at the UK newspaper The Guardian(守衛(wèi)者), observe(觀察， 遵守), traditionally(在傳統(tǒng)上) “motherhood is something that we do because we think it’s right(正確的，健康的， 右邊的).” But in the logic (邏輯)of commercialism, people need something in exchange for (交換)their time and energy(精力，能量).

　　3. B. 選項B和選項E中均出現(xiàn)了1個與空格后句中的詞語呼應(yīng)的詞語： motherhood ? motherhood， 但是E與空格后句不能形成自然銜接： E與空格后句在句意上是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系， 但是這兩個句子中并沒有出現(xiàn)標(biāo)志“轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系”的邏輯連詞/邏輯副詞(如： but, however等)， 因此E不是答案， 其實B還與空格后句中的commercialism形成呼應(yīng)， 因此答案是B。

　　C Obviously, the best gift will be a phone call or a visit.

　　E As a result, motherhood has suffered a huge drop in status since the 1950s

　　F In addition(另外), women are being encouraged(鼓勵) to pursue(追求) any career(職業(yè)) they desire(渴望).

　　___4___. So they work hard and play hard. Becoming a mother, however, inevitably handicaps career anticipation.

　　4. F. 只有F 中有指代人的復(fù)數(shù)名詞(women)能成為空格后句中代詞they的指代內(nèi)容， 因此F是答案。

　　C Obviously, the best gift will be a phone call or a visit.

　　E As a result, motherhood has suffered(遭受到...) a huge(巨大的) drop(下降， 落下) in status(地位，情形) since the 1950s

　　__5__. According to The Guardian(守衛(wèi)者), there are twice as many (是...的兩倍)child-free(沒有孩子的) young women as there were a generation(一代) ago(以前). Or, they put off the responsibility of parenting until later in their lives.

　　5.E. 只有E中有詞語與空格后句中的詞語呼應(yīng)(motherhood - mother)，因此首先關(guān)注E。 從句意上看， E是概括句，空格后句是用具體的數(shù)字對E進(jìn)行解釋。
