10、重庆市重庆一中2015届高三上学期第二次月考英语试题【题文】Manners nowadays in big cities like London are particularly non-existent. Its nothing for a big, strong schoolboy to elbow an elderly woman aside in the dash for the last remaining seat on the tube or bus, much less stand up and offer his seat to her.This question of gi
11、ving up seats in public transport is much argued by young men, who say that, since women have claimed equality, they no longer deserve to be treated with courtesy(谦恭有礼) and that those who go out to work should take their turn in the rat race like anyone else. Women have never claimed to be physicall
12、y as strong as men. Even if its not agreed, however, that young men should stand up for older women, the fact remains that courtesy should be shown to the old, the sick and the burdened. Are we really so lost to all ideals of unselfishness that we can sit there indifferently reading the paper or a b
13、ook, saying to ourselves “ First come, first served”, while a gray-haired woman, a mother with a young child or a cripple stands? Yet this is too often seen.Older people, tired and easy annoyed from a days work, arent angels, eitherfar from it. Many a brisk argument or an insulting quarrel breaks ou

15、uld be improved, but also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and polite. Shop assistant wont bother to assist, taxi drivers growl at each other as they dash dangerously round corners, bus conductors pull the bell before their desperate passengers have had time to get on or
16、 off the bus, and so on. It seems to us that its up to the young and strong to do their small part to stop such deterioration (恶化).72. What is the writers opinion concerning courteous manners towards women?A. They no longer need to be treated differently from men.B. Young men should give up their se
17、ats to young women.C. “Lady first” should universally practiced.D. Special consideration ought to be shown to them in some cases.73.

20、】本篇为议论文，谈论的是大城市人们缺乏礼貌，道德标准下降的问题。文章第一句就指出了大都市里礼貌几乎荡然无存了。第二、三、四段则详细论述了这种情况。最后作者呼吁人们应该做点什么使人们的交往和谐客气一些，不要让城市居住环境继续恶化。72.选D， 细节理解题。第二段第一句说很多年轻男子认为既然女性已经要求平等，出工作了，在公共场合就不应再受到特别的礼遇。第二句就说女性从没有宣称她们和男人一样强壮。而接下文章又提到还是应该对那些年老的，病弱的和负重的人礼貌，可知作者是不同意那些年轻人的观点的。73.选C，词义猜测题，根据文意可知，这儿谈的是公交车上男性是否该给女性让座的问题，有些男士认为“既然男女平等
21、，那么就没有必要再给女性让座，应当自己去抢占”，所以答案选C最合适。74. 选A，细节理解题。文章最后一段讲到人们之间的交往应该和谐客气，但是人们似乎都太疲乏太匆忙以致无法礼貌些。后面列举了些例子。由最后一段第二句可知B不对；C只是人们礼貌的一部分，不全面；交通状况不好并不能作为借口，所以D也不对。75. 选A，主旨大意题。文章第一句就指出大都市里礼貌几乎荡然无存了。然后列举种种状况。文章最后作者希望那些年轻力壮的人尽他们的小职责阻止这种恶化。通读全文可知作者的目的还是在呼吁大城市里的人们更注意礼貌。B、C偏离了原文主旨；D不全面。内蒙古巴彦淖尔市第一中学2014届高三第六次模拟英语试卷【题文
