解析試題分析：文章大意：在十八世紀(jì)，傭人們可以在某一個星期天回家陪伴母親，這是早期母親節(jié)的雛形。后來美國的安娜為現(xiàn)代母親節(jié)的確立作出了突出的貢獻(xiàn)。
【小題1】C連詞辨析。A在……之前；B自從；C當(dāng)……時候；D直到。根據(jù)語境可知，此處意為“當(dāng)許多人做家庭傭人的時候”，故選when。
【小題2】A形容詞辨析。這里考查的the + adj表示一類人。聯(lián)系前面的servants可以推知，此處指富人 (the rich)。這里指為富人家做傭人。
【小題3】B 短語辨析。A保護(hù)；B保留；C改變；D勸服。Mothering Sunday是專門留作他們回家和母親在一起的日子。
【小題4】B名詞辨析。A形式；B風(fēng)俗；C習(xí)慣；D計劃。根據(jù)文章的語境可知，此處是指這一風(fēng)俗 (custom)因為工業(yè)革命而中斷了。
【小題5】C上下文連串。上下文中很多信息可以告訴我們，母親節(jié)是在一個周日，故用Sunday。
【小題6】D 形容詞辨析。A普通的；B通常的；C規(guī)律的；D正式的。本段介紹美國母親節(jié)的由來。此處的意思是直到1915年母親節(jié)才成為正式的 (official)節(jié)日。
【小題7】B副詞辨析。A幾乎；B很大程度上；C深深地；D高度地。根據(jù)下文可知，母親節(jié)的設(shè)立很大程度上 (largely)應(yīng)歸功于安娜所做的工作。
【小題8】C。上下文連串。根據(jù)后面的Anna’s mother等可知，此處指一個“女兒（daughter）”的愛。
【小題9】C 動詞辨析。make their home意為“安家”，為固定搭配。安娜的母親提供精力，因為他們安家在西弗吉尼亞州。
【小題10】A。連詞辨析。根據(jù)句子的結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處說明父親工作的地點，故選where。他父親在那里當(dāng)部長。
【小題11】B 上下文連串。下文中的a day to honor mothers給出了提示。母親去世后，安娜決定向她的母親表示敬意 (honor)。
【小題12】C 介詞辨析。in memory of sb. 意為“紀(jì)念某人”。安娜請牧師布道以表示她對母親的紀(jì)念。
【小題13】A 形容詞辨析。A特殊的；B貴的；C簡單地；D容易的。這里指用一種“特殊的”母親節(jié)的方式表示對她的敬意，故用special。

【小題15】C 動詞辨析。A理解；B解釋；C慶祝；D阻止。空后的it指母親節(jié)，所以此處指一年以后每個州都“慶�！蹦赣H節(jié)。
【小題16】A 動詞辨析。follow the tradition意為“按照傳統(tǒng)”。此處說的是母親節(jié)的傳統(tǒng)慶祝方式：伺候他們的母親在床上吃早餐。
【小題17】B 上下文連串。根據(jù)后面which引導(dǎo)的定語從句的內(nèi)容可知，這里指送給母親的“禮物”。其他孩子將給他們母親禮物。
【小題18】C 名詞辨析。A學(xué)校；B教堂；C商店；D醫(yī)院。這些禮物是孩子們自己做的或是在“商店”里買的。
【小題19】D 短語辨析。此處白色的康乃馨和上文中紅色的康乃馨相對應(yīng)，再結(jié)合選項的意思可以推知，此處指若母親去世 (pass away)。pass through“通過”，pass on“傳遞，繼續(xù)”，pass by“（時間）逝去”，均不符合語義。
【小題20】A上下文連串。根據(jù)文章最后一句話可知，這里指“餐館”很忙碌，因為在這個特殊的日子里家人都不想讓母親做飯。

Then suddenly, you saw my 46 . She just stared.
My heart 47 . What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would 48 me now.

The ______ of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are gestated（孕育） by rivers. In China, the mother river is the Yellow River _____ the Indian one is the Hindu River. These two cultures were developed for several thousand years and formed their own _____. Then in Dang Dynasty of China, the Chinese culture _____ went overseas to Japan, _____ into the Japanese society and shaped the Japanese culture nowadays. Though a bit different from the Chinese one, it belongs to the same ______.
When the two mother rivers gave birth to the eastern culture, another famous culture was ______ on the Mesopotamian Plain ---- the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of the Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. And these two are well-known ______ the base of the European culture. Like the Chinese culture, the European one also ______ waters. When the colonists of England _____ in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn't _______ from the European one a lot.
At the same time, the difference of the language systems _______ the cultural differences. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language (see the picture below) while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system, for example, the one I’m using to write this paper.
Other factors like human race difference counts as well. But what’s more, ______ the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no ______ from the other.

Historically, the term “fair trade” has meant many things. The Fair Trade League was 36 in Britain in 1881 to restrict 37 from foreign countries. In the United States, businesses and labor unions 38 “fair trade” laws to construct構(gòu)建what economist Joseph Stiglitz calls “barriers to imports.” These so called “anti-dumping(反傾銷)” laws allow a company that 39 a foreign one of selling a product below cost to request that the government charge收費special taxes to protect it from “unfair” 40 .
Such dark protectionist thoughts are far from the 41 of the organizers of the United Kingdom’s annual “Fairtrade Fortnight”. Their 42 aim is to raise the price paid to developing-country farmers for their 43 by cutting out the inflated profits虛抬利潤of the middlemen on whom they 44 for getting their goods to distant markets. Fair-trade products 45 cocoa, coffee, tea, and bananas do not compete with domestic European production, and 46 do not have a protectionist motive(動機(jī)).
This is how it works: In 47 for being paid a guaranteed price and meeting “agreed labor and environmental standards” (minimum wages, no farm chemicals ), poor-country farming cooperatives(合作社) receive a FAIRTRADE mark for their products, given 48 by the FAIRTRADE Labeling Organization. This mark 49 supermarkets and other businesses to sell the products at a higher than 50 price . Third-world farmers get their income increased, 51 first-world consumers get to feel virtuous: a marriage made in heaven.
The fair-trade movement, 52 in the 1980’s, has been growing rapidly. In a significant breakthrough in 1997, the British House of Commons 53 to serve only fair-trade coffee. By the end of 2007, more than 600 producers’ organizations, 54 1.4 million farmers in 58 countries, were selling fair-trade products. Today, a quarter of all bananas in UK supermarkets are sold under a FAIRTRADE mark. But FAIRTRADE-labeled products still represent a very 55 share—typically less than 1%—of global sales of cocoa, tea, coffee, etc.
