问题     There was a time when, if a lady got into a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer her his seat. Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or hide behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone gets off.
    You can’t entirely blame men for this change in manners. The days are gone when women could be treated as the weaker sex. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men: not just equality in jobs or education, but in social attitudes. Hold a door open for some women and you’re likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as inferiors, unable to open doors for themselves. Take a girl out for a meal and she’ll probably insist on paying her share of the bill.
    It’s no wonder, then, that men have given up some of the gestures of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, man’s politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by more consideration for the needs and feelings of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings.
What is replacing men’s gestures of politeness?

选项 A、More graceful politeness towards women.
B、More consideration for women’s needs and feelings.
C、More impolite gestures of social behavior to women.
D、More equal treatment to women in every respect.

答案D

解析 细节题。本题问什么东西正在取代男士们的礼貌做法。从文章内容看,女士们要求在各个方面都要更为平等地对待她们显然使得男士们不再礼让女性,也就是男士们的礼貌行为让位于男女平等,或者说为男女平等所取而代之,故选D。特别提示:本题说的是men’s gestures of politeness而非man’s politeness,这两者之间是存在差别的。
