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 doctors’ visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up. Most mothers always say "no need," but 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 (慈善机构). 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.

【解析】

试题分析：本文是一篇应用文，题材是广告。作者介绍了4则母亲节期间为母亲提供礼物的广告。

1. 细节理解题。根据第一则广告中的“Promise to be there for any and all doctor's visits whether a disease or a regular medical check－up.”(不管是疾病检查还是定期的医疗检查，你都一定要陪母亲看医生。)可知，C正确。关键词定位：文章中的Promise to be there和be with her是同意表达。

2. 细节理解题。根据题干关键词“improve your mother's sleep”定位第三则广告中的“Buy your mother cotton sheets and comfortable pillows to encourage better sleep”(给母亲买棉床单和舒适的枕头，让母亲睡眠更好。)，故选C项。

3. 推理判断题。文章最后一段提到Present for Purpose，联系该段中的“she will be told that she has helped the chosen charity.”可知，这个礼物可以让母亲给别人提供帮助。故D正确。

【学法指导】

细节题的破解一般采用寻读法，即先看试题，再读文章。对有关信息进行快速定位，再将相关信息进行整合、甄别、分析、对比，有根有据地排除干扰项，选出正确答案。此法加强了阅读的针对性，提高了做题的准确率，节省了宝贵的时间。寻读法还特别适用于对图形表格类题材的理解。做此类型的题目还要特别注意句子的逻辑关系。英语中有许多功能词，如：表因果关系的because, since, as等；表转折关系的but, however ,on the contrary, on the other hand等等。比如第1.小题1C细节理解题。根据第一则广告中的“Promise to be there for any and all doctor's visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up.”(不管是疾病检查还是定期的医疗检查，你都一定要陪母亲看医生。)可知B正确。关键词定位：文章中的Promise to be there和be with her是同意表达。
