Are manners dead? Cellphones and social networking may be killing off old civilities and good graces, but a new generation of etiquette experts is rising to make old-fashioned protocols relevant to the new generation.

Young people"are getting sick of the irony and rudeness that is so prevalent in their online lives,"said Jane Pratt, editor in chief of a women's lifestyle website."The return of etiquette is in part a response to the harshness of the interactions they are having in the digital sphere.""They think being nice is very cool right now,"she added. 1/5 21. What is the passage mainly about? A Good manners of a new generation in the modern society. B Passing down etiquette from parents to young people. C Updating etiquette in the new generation. D Good civilities of a new generation in their daily life

问题解析

这道题要求我们确定文章的主要内容。文章讨论了在现代社会中，手机和社交网络可能正在消灭传统的礼貌和文明行为，但新一代的礼仪专家正在努力使旧式的礼仪规则适应新一代的需求。这些专家的目标是帮助年轻人应对技术时代的新挑战，如社交网络邀请、在线约会以及面对面的交流。文章特别强调了“网络礼仪”（netiquette）的快速发展，包括如何在商务邮件中使用表情、在社交网络上发布内容时保持谨慎以及避免过度转发微博消息。文章还提到，年轻人对在线生活中普遍存在的讽刺和粗鲁感到厌倦，他们认为礼貌是很酷的事情。

选项分析

  • A. 现代社会中新一代的良好举止

    • 这个选项部分正确，但不够全面。文章不仅讨论了新一代的良好举止，还强调了礼仪专家在帮助年轻人适应技术时代方面的作用。

  • B. 父母向年轻人传授礼仪

    • 这个选项不准确。文章没有提到父母向年轻人传授礼仪，而是提到了新一代的礼仪专家在帮助年轻人。

  • C. 更新新一代的礼仪

    • 这个选项最符合文章的主要内容。文章讨论了如何使传统的礼仪规则适应新一代的需求，特别是在技术时代的新挑战下。

  • D. 新一代在日常生活中良好的文明行为

    • 这个选项部分正确，但不够全面。文章不仅讨论了新一代在日常生活中的文明行为，还强调了技术时代的新挑战和解决方案。

答案

C. 更新新一代的礼仪

解析

文章的主要内容是讨论如何在技术时代更新和适应传统的礼仪规则，以帮助新一代应对新的社交挑战。因此，选项C最符合文章的主旨。

解析

本题考查对文章主旨的理解。解题思路是先通读文章，明确文章围绕的核心内容，再分析每个选项与文章核心内容的契合度。

  • 文章开篇指出手机和社交网络可能正在让传统礼仪消失，但新一代礼仪专家正在努力让传统礼仪适应新一代。接着说明这些专家的目标是帮助年轻人应对科技时代的社交难题，如社交网络邀请、在线约会和面对面交流等。还特别强调了“网络礼仪”这一快速发展的领域，包括商务邮件中表情的使用、社交网络发布内容的谨慎以及避免过度转发微博等。最后提到年轻人厌倦了网络生活中的讽刺和粗鲁，认为礼貌很酷。
  • 选项A：“现代社会中新一代的良好举止”，文章重点在于礼仪专家对传统礼仪的更新以适应新一代，而不只是单纯说新一代的良好举止，该选项不够全面，所以A选项错误。
  • 选项B：“父母向年轻人传授礼仪”，文中明确提到是新一代礼仪专家在帮助年轻人，并非父母，所以B选项错误。
  • 选项C：“更新新一代的礼仪”，与文章中礼仪专家让传统礼仪适应新一代需求，帮助年轻人应对科技时代社交挑战的内容相符，所以C选项正确。
  • 选项D：“新一代在日常生活中良好的文明行为”，文章不仅涉及日常生活，还着重强调了科技时代的新挑战和礼仪的更新，该选项不够全面，所以D选项错误。
