【解析】
试题分析：根据语境可知此句的含义是五月的第二个星期日母亲节，这对于孩子们来说是个特殊的日子。此题考查的是冠词的基本用法。Mothers’day 是个节日，故其前面不需要任何冠词。一个特殊的日子表示泛指故用不定冠词，special是以辅音音素开头的单词故用a，故选C。
考点：冠词
点评：英语中不定冠词泛指任何一个，其主要有两种形式。a 用于辅音音素开头的单词前，an用于元音音素开头的单词前。解答此类问题必须会判断后面单词的词首音素，一般情况下，词首音素与开头字母一致。零冠词是指名词前面没有不定冠词、定冠词，也没有其他限定词的现象，零冠词的用法如下： 1．表示抽象概括意义时，不可数名词和复数名词使用零冠词 2．专有名词通常使用零冠词 3．按照习惯下列各类名词使用零冠词 1）季节、月份、星期以及节假日等名词 2）三餐饭菜的名词 3）语言、运动、游戏等名词4）在某些意义有改变的名词前要使用零冠词 如in hospital是“住院（治疗）”，in prison是“服刑”，等等。 注意：如果在这类名词前加冠词，则表示去那里干与之无关的事。
