今年的专四完型填空材料是其次的，考点是主要的，当然这片材料被很多考试用过：1994年的CET4考过阅读理解，不少高考模拟题也用过这个材料，这次考试将其用作完形填空材料，个人认为只能算是巧合，好的文章重复利用是正常的。废话不说了，上题目及答案:
黑体字部分为正确的选项。
Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and (31)bring forth a different response from every man who hears these words. Some feel (32)proud when they receive the news, (33)while others worry, wondering whether they will be good father. (34)Although there are some men who like children and may have had (35)considerable experience with them, others do not particularly (36)care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. (37)For other couples, pregnancy was an accident that both husband and wife have (38)accepted willingly or unwillingly.
Whatever the (39)reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the shift from the role of husband to (40)that of father is a difficult task. (41)Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to (42)educate fathers in this resocialization (43)process. Although numerous books have been written about American mothers, (44)only recently has literature focused on the (45)role of a father.
It is argued by some writers that the transition to the father’s role, although difficult, is not (46)nearly as great as the transition the wife must (47)make to the mother’s role. The mother’s role seems to require a complete (48)transformation in daily routine and highlyinnovative adaptation, (49)however, the father’s role is less demanding and (50)immediate.
