解析

试题分析：本文主要说明的是西方社会里的尊敬女性的风俗传统，并通过举例进行了详细地说明。
小题1:are respected 本句是一个被动语态。句义：在很多方面在西方国家里女性都受到尊敬。根据句义说明表示的是被动的含义。
小题2:as 本句是一个省略句，在as后面省略了it is；as引导的是一个方式状语，意为“正如”；在美国，正如在欧洲一样，你会看见男性为女性开门。
小题3:unless 在欧洲女性通常都走在男性的前面，除非男性不得不为女性选择桌子，开门或者提供其他服务。根据句义本句中的unless表示“除非，如果…不…”，引导的是一个条件句。
小题4:which / that  本句是一个定语从句，先行词是the side，which指代先行词在句中做主语。指男性在和女性走路的时候，总是走在靠近汽车的一边。
小题5:them 本句中的them指代上句出现的可数名词复数形式two ladies。指男性和两个女性在一起的时候，要走在两人之间。
小题6:the 本句中的the特指说话双方都知道的那个司机，也就是来接客人的男女主人。
小题7:seated 本句中的seated是过去分词转换的形容词，seat使…就坐；与前面的名词most men构成被动关系，使用过去分词转换的形容词作为后置定语。
小题8:whether 本句whether… or ….无论…还是…；引导的是一个让步状语从句。无论新来的人是男的还是女的，房间里的女性都不需要站起来。
小题9:fewer 本句后面的than说明应该使用比较级的形式，指现在与过去相比较，遵守风俗习惯的人更少了。
小题10:it 考察固定句式It is believed that…人们认为….；句中的it是一个形式主语，真正的主语是后面的that引导的主语从句。
