《大学英语（1）》（第2次）21秋重庆大学答案
一、阅读理解 (共 5 题、共 60 分)1.
There was a time when, if a lady got onto 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 true consideration for the needs and feelings of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings.
1).
Why are some women likely to get angry is a man holds the door open for them? ( )
A、
Because the man should not hold the door open.
B、
Because they think they are looked down upon.
C、
Because they are treated too politely.
D、
Because men often offend women in this manner.

What do gentlemen now do when a lady gets on a crowded bus or train? ( )
A、

The garbage does not simply disappear. It may go on to a transfer station. Since it is difficult and expensive to dispose at landfill sites and incinerators. People are encouraged to recycle and compost （堆肥） their garbage. Garbage is picked up and taken and will be carefully buried or burned. The problem with these methods of garbage disposal is that they cost money, take up land and cause pollution. One solution to the problem of solid waste disposal is composting. Some things that can be composted such as fruits and vegetable peels. People can compost these food products by placing them in an outdoor container where they decompose( 分解 ) into a substance called compost. Compost, which contains plant nutrients, can be spread in the garden to help other plants grow. Another solution to the problem of solid waste disposal is recycling. Some things can be recycled, such as glass jars, tin cans, office paper and newspapers. People can recycle used products by putting them in the "blue box".

Almost every family buys at least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?
Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings — battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown or killed — took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in faraway countries on the same day they happen.
Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories, and, of course, advertisements. There are all sorts of advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for their advertising space, but it is worth the money, for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also important. Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit.

People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a similar problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without thinking; they try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.
First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam's bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.
Next the thinker must define the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find the reason why it does not work. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.
Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. He can look at his gears carefully. After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.
Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum (口香糖) between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels.
Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. In short, he has solved the problem.

A、

One afternoon in April a year ago, I first saw the strange and appealing doll face in the window of a toyshop. The shop was just around the corner from my office. I still remember how it was that day: the first sign of spring mixing with the soft coal smoke from the factories and the street smells of the poor neighborhood. As I turned the corner on my way to office, I once more looked at the poor collection of toys in the dusty window. And then I remembered the coming birthday of my small niece in Cleveland. For years I was in the habit of sending gifts to her. Therefore I stopped and examined the window to see if there might be anything appropriate. I looked at the collection of unappealing objects – a red toy fire engine, some lead soldiers, cheap baseballs, bottles of ink, pens, yellowed stationery ( 文具 ), and garish ( 俗气的 ) advertisements for soft-drink. And when I was about to leave because of disappointment, my eyes eventually came to the doll in one corner, a doll with the strangest, most charming expression on her face. I could not wholly make her out, due to the shadows, but I knew that a great impression had been made upon me.
