Congratulations, Mr. Jones, it's a girl."

Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different response from every man who hears these words. Some feel pride when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering whether they will be good fathers. Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experiencewith them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy wasan accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.

Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the shift from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this reconciliation (協(xié)調(diào)) process. Although numerous books have been written about American mothers, only recently has literature focused on the role of fathers.

It is argued by some writers that the change to the father's role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the change the wife must take to the mother's role. The mother's role seems to require a complete transformation in daily routine and highly innovative(創(chuàng)新的) adaptation. On the other hand, the father's role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though we mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household.

1.[B] 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。由第2段第2句中的pride和worry可以判斷選項(xiàng)B是對該句的近義替換。選項(xiàng)A原文未提到。選項(xiàng)C曲解了原文第2段第1句的意思，該句中的“Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning”表示對于每個(gè)男人來說當(dāng)上父親具有不同的意義，而不是就瓊斯先生而言。第2段最后一句表明只有部分人不情愿接受責(zé)任，因此在D選項(xiàng)men前面加上some才正確。

2.[B] 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第3段最后兩句可以推斷選項(xiàng)B正確。選項(xiàng)A與第3段最后一句陳述的相反。最后一段第1句雖有提及向父親角色的轉(zhuǎn)變很困難,但并未像選項(xiàng)C那樣對比。選項(xiàng)D錯(cuò)在incomplete一詞,文中并未提及與該詞相關(guān)的內(nèi)容。

3.[A] 推理判斷題。本題可用排除法。選項(xiàng)B曲解了最后一段第2、3句對母親角色的描述。選項(xiàng)C與原文最后一句不符。選項(xiàng)D原文未提及。只有選項(xiàng)A概括了全文關(guān)于母親的論述，而且第2段最后一句也暗示母親受到的關(guān)注更多。

4.[C] 推理判斷題。最后一句提到很多人仍然認(rèn)為父親應(yīng)該負(fù)擔(dān)家計(jì),但從本句的用詞如even though和still可以看出作者對這種看法并不認(rèn)同，由此可以判斷只有選項(xiàng)C作者可能不贊成。

5.[D] 主旨大意題。原文第1、2段講到父親們對將為人父的不同反應(yīng);第3段指出很少有人嘗試幫助父親完成角色的轉(zhuǎn)換;最后一段是一些作家對此做出的不太符合事實(shí)的解釋，因此，只有選項(xiàng)D能概括文章的寫作目的。選項(xiàng)A只是文中第2段中的某個(gè)細(xì)節(jié);選項(xiàng)B的重點(diǎn)是mother,與本文的論題不符;作者并無批評父親之意，因此選項(xiàng)C不正確。
