【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[听力原文]
Mother's Day is one of the national holidays in the United States. It is observed on the second Sunday in May. It is a day set aside for the purpose of honoring mothers. On that day mothers are usually given flowers and cards to celebrate the occasion. Children usually write "To the best mother in the world", "Thinking of you on Mother's Day", or "Thanks, Morn!" and so on on the cards. It is a common practice for sons and daughters to wear a pink carnation if their mothers are still living and white if they are dead.
Where does the idea for the holiday come from? We should give credit to Miss Anna Jarvis, a native of West Virginia. Her mother died in Philadelphia on May 9, 1905. And on the first anniversary of her mother's death she invited some friends to an informal memorial meeting. Again in 1907 a church service was held on her mother's death anniversary. Because of her efforts, Philadelphia observed the first Mother's Day on May 10, 1908. After that she began to write countless letters to very important persons and went to see many public men in order to plead for the observance of the day. Thanks to her painstaking efforts, the state of Pennsylvania made it a state holiday in May, 1913, and in the same year the United States Congress recommended that the second Sunday in May be made a national holiday honoring motherhood. The holiday was officially proclaimed by President Wilson, and the American people have observed Mother's Day ever since.

【答案解析】[解析] 该题为细节题。录音文本的第一段中列举了好几种庆祝母亲节的方式。最普通的方式就是给母亲送花，送上写了各种感谢语的卡片，最后提到在庆祝母亲节的普通方式中还有这样一种，那就是如果他们的母亲在世的话，那么儿子和女儿要佩戴粉红色的康乃馨；如果母亲不在世的话，孩子们则要佩戴白色的康乃馨。而选项A、B、D都不是庆祝母亲节的方式。

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】[解析] 录音的第二段提到了母亲节的来历，提到了Miss Jarvis。录音中提到了此人为母亲举办的几次去世后周年的纪念活动，我们可以由此得知她肯定很爱母亲。文中说她为了让这一节日成为全国性的节日并且让其保留下来做过各种努力，例如给知名人士写过无数封的信、拜访公众人物等。最终国会的批准使这一节日固定了下来。从这些内容我们可以得出A、C和D所陈述的内容都是正确的，并且也可以从文章中推断出来。
