Question

【題目】 Who cooks in your family? Who cleans the clothes? Who washes the dishes? Who t【1】care of the baby? Maybe on most days, the answer would be your mother. But not on the second Sunday of May. On that day, it's you and your father.

That's because the second Sunday of May is Mother's Day. Mother's Day is a day to appreciate and give t【2】 for all the things that mothers do for the family.

One way people can do that is by doing all of her chores(家務活) for her. For example, one tradition in the US is for the father and children in a family to cook breakfast for the mother and do housework. Mothers get to be very lazy on this day. It's probably their favourite h【3】.

Another thing you can do is to give her a gift. Fathers will often buy their wives flowers or chocolates. Children often make them gifts. For example, they might draw their mom beautiful c【4】 or make a nice necklace out of candy.

But the most i【5】 thing to do on Mother's Day is to show your mother you love her. Any way you do it is fine. Sometimes, the best Mother's Day present is a hug.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】takes

【2】thanks

【3】holiday

【4】clothes

【5】important

【解析】

文章講述了母親節(jié)，母親在家庭中要忙很多事，在美國，母親節(jié)父親和孩子們要幫給母親做飯，母親在那一天可以很懶，最重要的是在母親節(jié)要告訴母親你很愛她。

【1】句意：誰來照顧孩子？

根據(jù)句意理解可知，這里表達的是照顧，英語中是take care of，主語是who，謂語動詞應該用單數(shù)形式，所以這里應該填takes。

【2】句意：母親節(jié)是一個感謝和感激母親為家庭所做的一切的日子。

根據(jù)句意理解可知，這里表達的是母親節(jié)要感激感謝母親，give是動詞，后面要接賓語，需要一個名詞，英語中感謝是thank，做名詞時只能用復數(shù)形式，所以這里填thanks。

【3】句意：這可能是他們最喜歡的節(jié)日。

根據(jù)句意理解可知，母親節(jié)是一個節(jié)日，這里指的就是這個節(jié)日，英語中節(jié)日假日可以用holiday表示，這里指的是單數(shù)，所以直接填holiday。

【4】句意：他們可以給媽媽畫漂亮的衣服。

根據(jù)句意理解及后句中的make a nice necklace out of candy可知，這里應該是孩子們給母親做的一些手工禮物，畫漂亮的衣服也是其中之一，英語中衣服是clothes，是復數(shù)名詞，所以這里應該填clothes。

【5】句意：但是在母親節(jié)最重要的事情是向你的母親表明你愛她。

根據(jù)句意理解可知，愛是最重要的，這里應該指的是最重要的事情，英語中重要的是important，最重要的要在前面加most，所以這里填important。
