考查形容词辨析及语境。free自由的；空闲的；special特别的，特殊的；normal正常的。根据空后“…by giving her a day off from family chores”可知，作者和弟弟想让妈妈在母亲节那天放一天假，不做家务，让妈妈感觉“自由自在”，A选项符合语境，故选A。

2.

句意：早上，我比其他人都早起来，挂上一张写着“母亲节快乐”的海报。

考查动词辨析及语境。said说；wrote写；recorded记录。这个题目容易错选B，但根据英语的表达习惯，表示通知、标志、说明书等上面显示……内容，应该用say，这里表示海报上的内容，故选A。

3.

考查副词辨析及语境。late晚；迟到；slowly慢地；early早地。根据上文“In the morning, I woke up before everyone else”可知，“我”起得很早，这句话中有一个also表示“也”，所以这里意为“爸爸起得也很早”。故选C。

4.

句意：当她和爸爸一起看早间新闻时，是时候展示一下我的厨艺了。

考查动词辨析及语境。show展示；表明；practice练习；improve提高。根据下文“I made some delicious food with my brother's help.”可知，“我”在弟弟的帮助下做了一些美味的食物，所以这是展示“我”的厨艺。故选A。

5.
