Question

s I crammed myself onto a crowded train this morning, I noticed there was a very pregnant(懷孕的) woman standing near me, jammed in tightly and hanging on for dear life．I looked at the passengers sitting in the seats that are supposed to be surrendered to the elderly, physically challenged, and other people who need to sit, Not one of them even looked up; everyone was too absorbed in what they were listening to, reading, or watching to even notice the pregnant passenger．

Over the past few years, there have been countless discussions on minding our manners within our new modes of communication．But while we’ve been debating the dos and don’ts of technology etiquette（禮節(jié)）, it appears that many of us have forgotten some of the old school manners that have nothing to do with a keyboard or a monitor, but have everything to do with the long-forgotten Golden Rule．Maybe technology has eroded our brains so much that we can never go back to those golden days．

“Giving up your seat to someone is so easy．Even when people don’t accept your offer, I think it’s nice to get up and stay standing so they know you’re sincere． The more that we become the good example, the more it will catch on．” Lizzie Post, says great-great granddaughter of Emily Post ．

Sophisticated technology doesn’t mean that good manners have to be a thing of the past． In fact, Post says she defines good manners using three simple, everyday principles: consideration, respect, and honesty． “Apply those to any situation and toward all the people involved including yourself and the solution will make sense．”

解析:

66．答案：B解析：本題考查考生的理解推斷能力。根據(jù)第一段的Not one of them even looked up; everyone was too absorbed in what they were listening to, reading, or watching to even notice the pregnant passenger．可知在作者看來(lái)，沒(méi)人主動(dòng)讓座的原因并不是沒(méi)人注意到有人需要幫助，而是大家已經(jīng)沒(méi)有了讓座的習(xí)慣。從而引起作者對(duì)下文的闡述。

67．答案：D解析：本題考查考生的推理判斷能力。根據(jù)第二段it appears that many of us have forgotten some of the old school manners that have nothing to do with a keyboard or a monitor, but have everything to do with the long-forgotten Golden Rule． 此處的keyboard 和monitor應(yīng)該指的是與自己利益有關(guān)的事情。

68．答案：B解析：本題考查考生對(duì)短文中生詞的理解。根據(jù)The more that we become the good example, the more it will catch on． 可知“如果每個(gè)人都能以身作則，那相互讓座這件事就會(huì)變的。。�！惫士赏茢郼atch on在這里是指“變的流行”。

69． 答案：C解析：本題考查考生對(duì)文章中具體細(xì)節(jié)的掌握情況。根據(jù)“I think it’s nice to get up and stay standing so they know you’re sincere”和最后一段的“she defines good manners using three simple, everyday principles: consideration, respect, and honesty”．可知在作者看來(lái)，Lizzie Post 是一位值得尊敬的人，當(dāng)然是更值得學(xué)習(xí)的人。

70．答案：A解析：本題考查考生對(duì)主旨大意的理解能力。作者主要通過(guò)自己在火車上所見(jiàn)，講述了為什么越來(lái)越多的人遺忘了傳統(tǒng)的禮儀。作者以

Where Are Our Manners? 反問(wèn)讀者的形式為題目。更能讓讀者得到自我的反思。
