13.Should we say goodbye to chivalry (骑士精神) 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 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章讨论了现在社会是否还需要骑士精神,作者阐述了现代社会中的一些人认为在性别平等的现在,骑士精神已经没有存在的意义,也有人认为骑士精神一定会回归.

解答 32.C  推理判断题,根据第一段Should we say goodbye to chivalry (骑士精神) in the age of sex equality?
可知在这样一个性别平等的年代里,骑士精神会小时吗?作者提出这个问题的目的就在于因此下面一个有争议的话题:现在社会是否还需要骑士精神,故选C.
33.A  细节理解题,根据第三段Today"chivalry"is often used as a term for"gentlemanly"behavior,related to"fair sex",honor,courage and loyalty.可知骑士精神包括了忠诚,勇气和荣耀,并没有暴力,故选A.
34.D  推理判断题,根据第六段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可知现在很多男性并不愿意帮助女性,因为他们担心让女性难堪,根据第七段These men may worry too much.According to the same survey,only seven percent of women view acts like holding open doors as unpleasant可知调查显示女性很喜欢男性帮助她们开门之类的绅士行为,说明男士误解了所谓的性别平等,故选D.
35.C  推理判断题,根据最后一段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.可知美国作家Emily Smith认为骑士精神是一定会回归的,故选C.
