题目内容
1.According to sociologists(社会学家),every modern industrial society has some form of social stratification(阶层).Class,power and status are important in deciding people's rank in society.Class means a person's 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$500,000a year and a bus driver earning$50,000a 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 (相应的)economic class.Generally,however,there is a relationship between power and class.
To our knowledge,there aren't too many people who aren't millionaires in the U.S.Senate!
Status is the honor or respect attached to a person's 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?B
A.People earning$50,000a 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 thatA.
A.power and class do not always correspond with each other
B.status refers to a person's economic position in society
C.people with high status have a lot of control over others
D.class is less important in deciding a person's social rank
56.Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?A
分析 本文是一篇议论文.根据社会学家研究表明,每一个现代工业社会都存在不同的社会阶层,阶级、权利、地位成为人在社会中等级划分的重要依据.文章主要阐述了在现代工业社会中的阶级、权力以及社会地位的不同含义及相互之间的关系.
解答 54.B 细节理解题.根据本段最后一句"Interestingly,a surgeon…as the middle class!"可排除选项A和C;由第三句"While sociologists disagree on how these terms should be exactly defined…"可排除D项.根据倒数第二句"One study shows that 53% of Americans belong to the lower class,46% the middle class,and 1% the upper class."可知,将近一半的美国人属于中产阶级.故B项正确.
55.A 细节理解题.根据第三段第三句中的"Power and class do not always go hand in hand"以及后面所举的例子可知,权力和阶级并不总是一致的,A项正确;根据最后一段第一句"Status is the honor or respect attached to a person's position in society."可排除B项;根据第一段最后一句"Class,power and status are important in deciding people's rank in society."可排除D项;根据第三段第一句"Power refers to the amount of control a person a has over other people."及最后一段第二句"It can also be affected by power and class,but not necessarily so."可排除C项.故答案选A.
56.A 篇章结构题.通读全文可知,文章第一段先总说一个人的阶级、权力和地位对他所处的社会阶层有重要的作用,然后分别在第二、三、四段说明了阶级、权力和地位的含义及划分,故文章为"总-分"结构.故答案为A.
点评 本文是社会文化类阅读.主要考查细节理解题.在做事实细节题时,首先看题目要求我们理解什么细节,找出关键词,然后以此为线索,运用寻读的技巧迅速在文章里找出相应的段落、句子或短语.认真比较选项和文中细节的区别,在正确理解细节的前提下,确定最佳答案.
