Manners nowadays in metropolitan cities like London are Wap版

试题详情及答案解析

Manners nowadays in metropolitan cities like London are practically non-existent. It is nothing for a big, strong schoolboy to push an elderly woman aside to take the last remaining seat on the underway or bus.
This question of giving up seats in public transport is much argued about by young men, who say that since women have claimed equality, they no longer deserve to be treated with politeness and that those who go out to work should take their turns in the rat race like anyone else. But women have never claimed to be physically strong as men. Even if it is not agreed, however, the fact remains that courtesy(礼节) should be shown to the old and the sick. Are we really so lost to all ideals of unselfishness that we can sit there indifferently(冷漠地) reading the paper or a book, saying to ourselves, “First come, first served” while a grey-haired woman, a mother with a young child or a cripple(残障者) stands? Yet this is all too often seen.
Older people, tired and impatient from a day’s work, are not always considerate either — far from it. Many arguments break out as the older people push and squeeze(挤)each other to get on buses. One cannot approve this, of course, but one does feel there is just a little more excuse.
It seems urgent, not only that communications in transport should be improved, but also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and polite. All over cities, it seems that people are too tired and too rushed to be polite. Shop assistants won’t bother to assist; taxi drivers shout at each other as they dash dangerously around corners; bus conductors pull the bell before their desperate passengers have time to get on or off the bus, and so on. It seems to us that it is up to the young to do their small part to stop such lowering of moral standards.

试题分析：
【小题1】disappearing/non-existent/missing/lacking/lost 词义转换。根据文章第一句Manners nowadays in metropolitan cities like London are practically non-existent.可知在大城市里礼貌已经不存在了。使用disappearing/non-existent/missing/lacking/lost换non-existent。
【小题2】sit/rest 词义转换。根据第一段第二句It is nothing for a big, strong schoolboy to push an elderly woman aside to take the last remaining seat on the underway or bus把句中的take the last remaining seat on the underway or bus换成sit/rest on the last remaining seats。
【小题3】refuse/hate/dislike 转换题。根据文章since women have claimed equality, they no longer deserve to be treated with politeness可知很多年轻人拒绝帮助女性，因为现在倡导男女平等。
【小题4】equal  词义转换。根据文章第二段第二句Since women have claimed equality, they no longer deserve to be treated with politeness and that those who go out to work should take their turns in the rat race like anyone else.可知因为男女平等，在种族上他们应该承担相关的责任。
【小题5】reading 原词再现。根据第二段we can sit there indifferently(冷漠地) reading the paper or a book, saying to ourselves可知使用reading。
【小题6】children/babies 原词再现。根据文章第二段“First come, first served” while a grey-haired woman, a mother with a young child or a cripple(残障者) stands?可知在很多情况下，带着孩子的大人都没有人让座。
【小题7】Causes/Analysis 总结归纳题。根据右边一列内容可知这一行是在分析出现这一情况的原因。可以使用cause（原因），也可以使用analysis分析。
【小题8】smoothly 词性转换。根据最后一段第一句 It seems urgent, not only that communications in transport should be improved, but also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and polite.原句中使用形容词smooth,表格里各politely一样使用副词做状语。
【小题9】tired    原词再现。根据最后一段第二句All over cities, it seems that people are too tired and too rushed to be polite.
