13.Should we say goodbye to chivalry (騎士精神) in the age of sex equality?
Chivalry began as a response to the violence of the Middle Ages.PierMassimo Forni,the founder of the Civility Institute,says chivalry"as a form of treatment inspired by the sense that there was something special about women and that they deserve added respect."
Today"chivalry"is often used as a term for"gentlemanly"behavior,related to"fair sex",honor,courage and loyalty.
But we can hardly see chivalry nowadays with many women demanding to be treated equally in the workplace.
According to a 2013 survey carried out by the British Daily Mail,only one in seven men will offer their seat to a woman on a bus or train; over three-quarters of men don't offer to help carry a heavy bag or suitcase for women.
In many cases,it's not because these men are being insensitive,but on the contrary,they say they are unwilling to help women because they are worried about making them embarrassed.
These men may worry too much.According to the same survey,only seven percent of women view acts like holding open doors as unpleasant.
"Men seem confused by the modern‘sex equality'message",psychologist and relationship expert Donna Dawson told the Daily Mail.
"This message was meant for the workplace and was never meant to replace good manners.Men will always be the stronger sex physically,so it is natural for them to show consideration for women."
So,should the acts of chivalry be brought back?US writer Emily Smith says chivalry is what we should all long for.Many people are predicting the death of chivalry,but chivalry is not dead yet.Slowly but surely,chivalry is making a come-back.

32.The question at the very beginning of the passage is used toC.
A.express the author's curiosity
B.cause a heated discussion
C.introduce a controversial topic
D.solve a serious social problem
33.Which is NOT part of"chivalry"?A
A.Violence.      B.Loyalty.
C.Courage         D.Honor.
34.Some men are not willing to help women becauseD.
A.they are not sensitive enough   
B.they had no good manners
C.they are afraid of women  
D.they misunderstood"sex equality"
35.Emily Smith holds the view thatC.
A.some messages can make men confused
B.men should show consideration for women
C.chivalry is quite good and sure to come back
D."sex equality"will never replace good manners.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章討論了現(xiàn)在社會是否還需要騎士精神,作者闡述了現(xiàn)代社會中的一些人認為在性別平等的現(xiàn)在,騎士精神已經(jīng)沒有存在的意義,也有人認為騎士精神一定會回歸.

解答 32.C  推理判斷題,根據(jù)第一段Should we say goodbye to chivalry (騎士精神) in the age of sex equality?
可知在這樣一個性別平等的年代里,騎士精神會小時嗎?作者提出這個問題的目的就在于因此下面一個有爭議的話題:現(xiàn)在社會是否還需要騎士精神,故選C.
33.A  細節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)第三段Today"chivalry"is often used as a term for"gentlemanly"behavior,related to"fair sex",honor,courage and loyalty.可知騎士精神包括了忠誠,勇氣和榮耀,并沒有暴力,故選A.
34.D  推理判斷題,根據(jù)第六段In many cases,it's not because these men are being insensitive,but on the contrary,they say they are unwilling to help women because they are worried about making them embarrassed可知現(xiàn)在很多男性并不愿意幫助女性,因為他們擔心讓女性難堪,根據(jù)第七段These men may worry too much.According to the same survey,only seven percent of women view acts like holding open doors as unpleasant可知調(diào)查顯示女性很喜歡男性幫助她們開門之類的紳士行為,說明男士誤解了所謂的性別平等,故選D.
35.C  推理判斷題,根據(jù)最后一段US writer Emily Smith says chivalry is what we should all long for.Many people are predicting the death of chivalry,but chivalry is not dead yet.可知美國作家Emily Smith認為騎士精神是一定會回歸的,故選C.

點評 考查學生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力.做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確選擇.在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.
