Class, power and status are important in deciding peoples rank in society. Class means a persons economic position in society. A commonly used classification is lower class, middle class and upper class. While sociologists disagree on how these terms should be exactly defined, they do describe societies like the United States quite well. One study shows that 53% of Americans belong to the lower class, 46% the middle class, and 1% the upper class. Interestingly, a surgeon earning 500,000 a year and a bus driver earning 50,000 a year both regard themselves as the middle class! Power refers to the amount of control a person has over other people. Obviously, people in positions of great power (such as governors) exercise（行使）big power, but people who take orders from others have less power. Power and class do not always go hand in hand, however. For example, the governor of a state has great power, but he or she may not belong to a corresponding （相應的）economic class. Generally, however, there is a relationship between power and class. To our knowledge, there arent too many people who arent millionaires in the U.S. Senate!Status is the honor or respect attached to a persons position in society. It can also be affected by power and class, but not necessarily so. For example, a university professor may have a high status but not belong to a high social class or have a lot of power over others.54. What can we learn about “the middle class” from Paragraph 2? A. People earning 50,000 a year belong to the middle class. B. Nearly half Americans belong to the middle class. C. People generally consider bus drivers as the middle class. D. Sociologists have a clear definition of the middle class.55. According to the text, we know that _. A. power and class do not always correspond with each other B. status refers to a persons economic position in society C. people with high status have a lot of control over others D. class is less important in deciding a persons social rank56. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text? A. B. C. D.A語篇解讀：獨特的文化，獨特的風情，巴厘島無疑是印度尼西亞的一朵奇葩，煥發(fā)出奇異的光彩，盡情地向世人展現(xiàn)自己的絢爛。 5解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據第二段的內容可知，巴厘人生活在大家庭中，而且彼此之間關系非常親密。答案：B6解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據第三段最后一句的內容可知，印度教對巴厘島的影響滲透到藝術方面，這使它不同于印度尼西亞的其他地方。答案：D7解析：詞義猜測題。由畫線詞所在句可知，盡管每年都有無數(shù)的游客涌往巴厘島，巴厘人仍然能夠設法”保存”他們自己獨特的文化。故conserve與preserve的意思最接近。答案：A8解析：推理判斷題。根據最后一段中的“death is a joyous and colorful event for the Balinese”可推知，當巴厘人去世時，人們的慣例是將其視為重大的好事進行慶祝。答案：B9解析：主旨大意題。第一段的第一句是本文的主題句，本文敘述的是巴厘文化，后面四段從不同的側面對巴厘文化進行詮釋。故C項最能概括本文的主旨。答案：CB 1.【分析】這是一道細節(jié)題。從文中For children six to twelve yours old，give half the amount.可以看出612歲的孩子服藥應該減半，那么題干中over 12就該用成人量，并且從第二段的最后一句Do not take more than six tablets in twentyfour hours.可以推斷出C為正確答案。 2.【分析】這是一道計算題。C為本題的最佳答案。注意題干中normally與文中as required同義，成人首量為 2片，隨后8小時服一片，即正常情況成人服4片，而小孩自然是2片了，至于為緩解疼痛成人所服的2片，并非屬于正常之內。此題通過率為48，區(qū)分度為O.496。 3.【分析】這是一道細節(jié)題。正確答案為D。文中的信息句是：Reduce the amount if you suffer from restlessness or sleep lessness。 4.【分析】這是一道判斷題。從說明書上的For children under six years old，ask your doctor's advice.一句話中可以領悟出其言外之意。這種藥對六歲以下兒童很危險。況且成人服藥量24小時都不得超6片，足以可以判斷B為該題的最佳答案。此題難度適宜，通過率為5l。 5.【分析】這是一道綜合判斷題?？忌殞⑺幤氛f明書和文章開頭的自然段聯(lián)系在一起才能得出正確答案。從考卷分析結果看，當年相當部分考生忽視文章的開頭一段，而誤選D為答案。所以A為本題答案。C答案 64.B 65.A 66.B 67.AD【要點綜述】本文體裁為議論文，社會類閱讀理解，談到關于社會等級權利地位的話題。社會學家研究了美國社會階層中的權利與階層關系問題。54.【答案】B【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據文章第二段話46% the middle class可以直接得出答案為B。55.【答案】A【解析】根據文章第三段話第三行power and class do not always go hand in hand, however可知答案為A。56.【答案】A【解析】篇章結構題。根據對文章整體理解，文章為總分結構，第一段綜述，其余三段分述，故選A。
