The value of motherhood

In shopping malls,the assistants try to push you into buying"a gift to thank her for her unselfish love".When you log onto a website,a small popo-up invites you to book a bouquet for her. Commercial warmth and gratitude are the atmosphere being spread around for this special Sunday in
May.________(46)The popularity of Mother's Day around the world suggests that Jarvis got all she wanted.In fact,she got more一enough to make her horrified.________(47)They buy,among other things,132 million cards.Mother's Day is the No 1 holiday for flower purchases.Then there are the various commodities,ranging from jewelry and clothes to cosmetics and washing powder,that take advantage of the promotion opportunities.Because of this,Jarvis spent the last 40 years of her life trying to stop Mother's Day.One protest against the commercialization of Mother's Day even got her arrested一for disturbing the peace,interestingly.________(48)As Ralph Fevre,a reporter at the UK newspaper The Guardian,observed, traditionally"motherhood is something that we do because we think it's right."But in the logic of commercialism,people need something in exchange for their time and energy.A career serves this purpose better.________(49)So they work hard and play hard.Becoming a mother,however,inevitably handicaps career anticipation.________(50)According to The Guardian,there are twice as many child-free young women as there were a generation ago.Or,they put off the responsibility of parenting until later in their lives.
So,Fevre writes that the meaning of celebrating Mother's Day needs to be updated:"It is to persuade people that parenting is a good idea and to honor people for their attempt to be good people."
选项 _________（48）
A:The American version of Mother's Day was thought up as early as 1905,by Anna Jarvis,as a way of recognizing the real value of motherhood.
B:But what's more,commercialism changes young people's attitude towards motherhood.
C:Obviously,the best gift will be a phone call or a visit.
D:According to a research by the US card company Hallmark,96 percent of American consumers celebrate the holiday.
E:As a result,motherhood has suffered a huge drop in status since the 1950s.
F: In addition,women are being encouraged to pursue any career they desire.
答案B
解析选项A中出现了两处词语与空格后句中的词语形成呼应：Mother's Day, Javis，因此A可能是答案。空格后句中的she在空格前句中有指代的内容：指代Anna Javis, 因此A是答案。
选项D中有两个词与空格后句中的词语呼应：cards , holiday，因此D是答案。
E与空格后句在句意上是转折关系，但是这两个句子中并没有出现标志转折关系的逻辑连词/逻辑副词（如but , however等），因此E不是答案。But what's more表示意思的转折，所以选B。
只有F中有指代人的复数名词（women）能成为空格后句中代词they的指代内容，因此F是答案。
只有E中有词语与空格后句中的词语呼应（motherhood一mother)，因此首先关注E。从句意上看，E是概括句，空格后句是用具体的数字对E进行解释。
