1.[B]事实细节题。由第2段第2句中的pride和worry可以判断选项B是对该句的近义替换。选项A原文未提到。选项C曲解了原文第2段第1句的意思,该句中的“Fatherhoodisgoingtohaveadifferentmeaning”表示对于每个男人来说当上父亲具有不同的意义,而不是就琼斯先生而言。第2段最后一句表明只有部分人不情愿接受责任,因此在D选项men前面加上some才正确。
2.[B]推理判断题。根据第3段最后两句可以推断选项B正确。选项A与第3段最后一句陈述的相反。最后一段第1句虽有提及向父亲角色的转变很困难,但并未像选项C那样对比。选项D错在incomplete一词,文中并未提及与该词相关的内容。
3.[A]推理判断题。本题可用排除法。选项B曲解了最后一段第2、3句对母亲角色的描述。选项C与原文最后一句不符。选项D原文未提及。只有选项A概括了全文关于母亲的论述,而且第2段最后一句也暗示母亲受到的关注更多。
4.[C]推理判断题。最后一句提到很多人仍然认为父亲应该负担家计,但从本句的用词如eventhough和still可以看出作者对这种看法并不认同,由此可以判断只有选项C作者可能不赞成。
5.[D]主旨大意题。原文第1、2段讲到父亲们对将为人父的不同反应;第3段指出很少有人尝试帮助父亲完成角色的转换;最后一段是一些作家对此做出的不太符合事实的解释,因此,只有选项D能概括文章的写作目的。选项A只是文中第2段中的某个细节;选项B的重点是mother,与本文的论题不符;作者并无批评父亲之意,因此选项C不正确。
