【解析】本文是一篇说明文,讲述了母亲节的起源、发展、庆祝方式、意义以及在中国存在的价值。
【1】句意:目前在大多数国家母亲节在五月的第二个星期日。Fall此处意思为降临,此处还表示客观真理或永恒的状态,所以该用一般现在时。故填“falls”。
【2】句意:它由Anna Jarvis创立,第一个正式的母亲节庆祝于1908年五月十号,地点在西弗吉尼亚的圣安德烈的Methodist 教堂。此处应填的词修饰Mother’s Day,应填形容词,故填“official”。
【3】句意:现在,母亲节是对母亲伟大身份的表彰。In recognition of固定短语,意为“以表彰…”,故填“recognition”。
【4】句意:也表彰母亲们对社会产生的积极影响。句前有形容词passive且此处承接后文的make,此处应填名词,故填“contribution”。
【5】句意:国际上有各种各样庆祝母亲节的方式。A large variety of意为各种各样的,故填“variety”。
【6】句意:这个节日已经被广告商和零售商严重商业化了。此处空内的词修饰其后动词commercialize,应用副词形式,故填“heavily”。
