Question

                         Low-Cost Gifts for Mother's Day

Gift No. I

Offer to be your mother's health friend. Promise to be there for any and all doctor's visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up. Most mothers always say "no need," another set of eyes and ears is always a good idea at a doctor's visit. The best part? This one is free.

Gift No. 2

Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical information. Put them all in one place. Be sure to make a list of all of her medicines and what times she takes them. "Having all this information in one place could end up saving your mother's life," Dr. Marie Savard said.

Gift No. 3

Enough sleep is connected to general health conditions. "Buy your mother cotton sheets and comfortable pillows to encourage better sleep," Savard said. "We know that good sleep is very important to our health."

Gift No. 4

Some gift companies such as Presents for Purpose allow you to pay it forward this Mother's Day by picking gifts in which 10 percent of the price you pay goes to a charity (慈善機(jī)構(gòu)). Gift givers can choose from a wide variety of useful but inexpensive things -many of which are "green" - and then choose a meaningful charity from a list. When your mother gets the gift, she will be told that she has helped the chosen charity.

Answer 1

【語篇解讀】本文是一篇應(yīng)用文，題材是廣告。作者介紹了4則母親節(jié)期間為母親提供的禮物的廣告。

段落	關(guān)鍵詞、句	大意推測
第一部分（Para. 1）	mother's health；medical check-up；doctor's visits ；free；	關(guān)注母親的健康，作母親的健康的朋友，陪母親進(jìn)行身體檢查。
第二部分（Para. 2）	organize; medical records; Put them all in one place; a list of all of her medicines and what times she takes them	幫助母親管理好醫(yī)療診斷記錄，列一張藥及喝藥時間的清單。
第三部分（Para. 3）	cotton sheets and comfortable pillows；good sleep is very important to our health	充足的睡眠對健康很重要，給母親買棉床單和舒適的枕頭，讓母親睡眠更好。
第四部分（Para. 4）	Presents for Purpose；10 percent of the price you pay goes to a charity (慈善機(jī)構(gòu))；helped the chosen charity	給母親買有創(chuàng)意的禮物，母親節(jié)期間給母親買禮物，價格的10%將捐助慈善機(jī)構(gòu)。

【解析】

48. B。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。難度：易。根據(jù)第一則廣告中的Promise to be there for any and all doctor's visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up.（不管是疾病檢查還是定期的醫(yī)療檢查，你都一定要陪母親看醫(yī)生。）可知B正確。

關(guān)鍵詞定位：文章中的Promise to be there和be with her是同意表達(dá)。

49. C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。難度：易。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞improve your mother’s sleep定位第三則廣告中的Buy your mother cotton sheets and comfortable pillows to encourage better sleep（給母親買棉床單和舒適的枕頭，讓母親睡眠更好。）。由此可知C正確。根據(jù)語篇解讀可知其他選項不合題意。

50. D。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。難度：易。根據(jù)文章第四則廣告中的When your mother gets the gift, she will be told that she has helped the chosen charity.可知：當(dāng)你母親得到這件禮物的時候，她將被告知，她幫助了慈善機(jī)構(gòu)。故選D。A、B兩項偷梁換柱C項無中生有。
