　　参考答案及解析

　　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。

　　B.promotingpoliciesthatprovideskillstoemployees

　　D.providingeducationforallregardlessofraceorsex

　　参考答案及解析

　　1.[D]词义理解题。本句说到公司要在地球村和全球市场上竞争，多样性是imperative，由前文“没有取消引起多样性的手段”和下文提到的公司对各种各样有技能的美国人的需求可知，多样性对于企业来说应该“必需的”故D正确。

　　2.[B]事实细节题。第2段末句指出这种辩论主要存在于政治圈和媒体中，结合上句内容，可知其中的thisdebate指的就是关于多样性的辩论，故B正确。

　　3.[C]事实细节题。由第1段第4句可知，公司高层领导人促进多样化的原因是想要在全球市场上更具竞争力，C与此相符。

　　4.[A]推理判断题。第2段中提到有些人认为在没有多样性的过去照样能做到不拘—格选人才，但作者马上whichwasnevertrue否定此观点，故A正确。第2段只提到多样性的辩论存在于政治圈和媒体，但并不代表在这两个圈子里不能接受或从未出现多样性，故排除B、C;D说法过于绝对,且在文中找不到依据，也可排除。

　　5.[D]推理判断埋。由第1段倒数第2句可知企业expandthepool就意味着向moreminorities，morewomen和moreimmigrants提供技能培训，而expandthepool对应的就是题干中的说的多样性的形成，D中的race和sex分别对文中minorities和women，故正确。A泛泛而谈，没有说到点子上，不如D具体、准确;B与多样性没有关系，C是利用文中的有关职业的词拼凑而成的干扰项。

　　D.familyhistoryofmentalillness

　　参考答案及解析

　　1.[D]事实细节题。根据题干定位第2段第2、3句。这两句之间存在隐含的因果关系，第2句是因，第3句是果。只有选项D在第2句提到其他选项均未提及。

　　2.[B]推理判断题。本文开头的例子所支持的现点在第3段第1句，同时结合suicide，此题答案为B。选项A、D的观点有误,选项C与本文的写作目的无关。

　　3.[B]事实细节题。第2段第3句中的malpractice和第4句中的虚拟语气说明，她认为学校没有对她的自杀企图采取足够的防范措施，故选B。选项A最具干扰性，但第3句说明学校关注过她的问题，只是关注不够，因此选项A过于绝对。选项C中的academicinstructions和D中的physicaldisease属于与文章无关的信息。

　　4.[A]事实细节题。第4段倒数第2句引文是该校发言人的辩护词，与选项A的意思一致。选项B、C为无关信息。选项D是原文最后一段的原句照搬,与此题不相关。

　　5.[C]事实细节题。最后一段提到造成精神疾病的多种原因。第1句中的generallypredisposed为先天具有之意,与选项D的内容吻合。选项B和A分别对应文中破折号前后的内容。
