"I've got something for you，"Peter said．"I sold the game and made 1，000．Thankyouforyoursuggestion．"Hehandedherthree 100bills．"Wow!"the salesgirl cried out．"Thank you，I never expected it．"17.

Something rare is worth a large amount of money．BWhen I was nine years old，I loved to go fishing with my dad．But the only thing that wasn't very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn't catch anything．I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why．He always answered，"Son，if you want to catch a fish，you have to think like a fish"，I remember being even more upset then because，"I'm not a fish!"I didn't know how to think like a fish．Besides，I reasoned，how could what I think influence what a fish does？As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant．So，I read some books on fish．And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings．I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature．That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer．Besides，water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade．Yet，fish don't have any eyelids（眼皮） and the sun huts their eyes…The more I understood fish，the more I became effective at finding and catching them．．When I grew up and entered the business world，I remember hearing my first boss say，"We all need to think like sales people．"But it didn't completely make sense．My dad never once said，"If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman．"What he said was，"You need to think like a fish．"Years later，with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me，I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers．It is not an easy job．I will show you how in the following chapters．22. Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine？ ______A. He could not catch a fish．B. His father was not patient with him．C. His father did not teach him fishing．D. He could not influence a fish as his father did．23. What did the author's father really mean？ ______A. To read about fish．B. To learn fishing by oneself．C. To understand what fish think．D. To study fishing in many ways．24. According to the author，fish are most likely to be found ______ ．A. in deep water on sunny daysB. in deep water on cloudy daysC. in shallow water under sunlightD. in shallow water under waterside trees．25. After entering the business world，the author found ______ ．A. it easy to think like a customerB. his father's fishing advice inspiringC. his first boss's sales ideas reasonableD. it difficult to sell services to poor people26. This passage most likely comes from ______ ．A. a fishing guideB. a popular sales bookC. a novel on childhoodD. a millionaire's biography．CDaniel Anderson，a famous psychologist，believes it's important to distinguish television's influences on children from those of the family．We tend to blame TV，he says，for problems it doesn't really cause，overlooking our own roles in shaping children's minds．One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child's ability to think and to understand the world．While watching TV，children do not merely absorb words and images （影像）．Instead，they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see．Actually，children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows．Furthermore，as many teachers agree，children understand far more when parents watch TV with them，explaining new words and ideas．Yet，most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room．Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment．But according to Anderson，the amount of time spent watching televisionis not related to reading ability．TV doesn't take the place of reading for most children；it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation，such as listening to the radio and playing sports．Things like parents'educational background have a stronger influence on a child's reading．"A child's reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads．"Anderson says．Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ （智商） scores and affects school performance．But here，too，Anderson notes that no studies have proved it．In fact，research suggests that it's the other way around．"If you're smart young，you'll watch less TV when you're older，"Anderson says．Yet，people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers．For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children．However，by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed，Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences．27. By watching TV，children learn ______ ．A. images through wordsB. more than explicit meaningsC. more about images than wordsD. little about people's psychology28. An educational program is best watched by a child ______ ．A. on his ownB. with other kidsC. with his parentsD. with his teachers29. Which of the following is most related to children's reading ability？ ______A. Radio-listeningB. Television-watchingC. Parents'reading listD. Parents'educational background30. Anderson believed that ______ ．A. the more a child watches TV，the smarter he isB. the younger a child is，the more he watches TVC. the smarter a child is，the less likely he gets addicted to TVD. the less a child watches TV，the better he performs at school31. What is the main purpose of the passage？ ______A. To advise on the educational use of TV．B. To describe TV's harmful effects on children．C. To explain traditional views on TV influences．D. To present Anderson's unconventional ideas．DIt was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction．Each class had unique characteristics．In recent years，many writers have begun to speak the'decline of class'and'classless society'in Britain．And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class．But pronouncing the death of class is too early．A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90percent of people still placing themselves in particular class； 73percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society； and 52percent thought there were still sharp class differences．Thus，class may not be culturally and politically obvious，yet it remains an important part of British society．Britain seems to have a love of stratification．One unchanging aspect of a British person's class position is accent．The words a person speaks tell her or his class．A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice，Most people said this accent sounded'educated'and'soft'．The accents placed at the bottom in this study，on the other hand，were regional（地区的）city accents．These accents were seen as'common'and'ugly'．However，a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least．This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice．In recent years，however，young upper middle-class people in London，have begun to adopt some regional accents，in order to hide their class origins．This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed．However，the 1995pop song'Common People'puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may'want to live like common people'they can never appreciate the reality of a working-class life．32. A recent study of public opinion shows that in modern Britain ______ ．A. it is time to end class distinctionB. most people belong to middle classC. it is easy to recognize a person's classD. people regard themselves socially different33. The word stratification in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______ ．A. varietyB. most people belong to middle classC. authorityD. qualification34. The study in the US showed that BBC English was regarded as ______ ．A. regionalB. educatedC. prejudicedD. unattractive35. British attitudes towards accent ______ ．A. have a long traditionB. are based on regional statusC. are shared by the AmericansD. have changed in recent years36. What is the main idea of the passage？ ______A. The middle class is expandingB. A person's accent reflects his classC. Class is a key part of British societyD. Each class has unique characteristics．37. 首先阅读下列活动介绍：A BA Night of Glamor and Intrigue at ShanghaiBund in 1930To celebrate Asia heritage month ，Trendy New York is proud to present"Cheongsam Night out-A date with Cheongsam beauties in Shanghai Bund 1930"． May 16，9：00PM-May 17，12：00AM ．EDT 330West 40th Street ，New York ．NY 10018Picking Partners-NEW YORKFeaturing adaptations from Chinese and Western classic ，including works from Chinese Academy Award-winning composer Tan Dun ，the Beijing Guitar Duo teamed up with Cuban guitar virtuoso Manuel Barrueco （right ） for a China West Concert at the New York Historical Society on April 23．C DHeroes of History ：Legacy of My ChineseFamilyJoin us as actress Tina Chen recounts thefascinating story of three generations ofher mother's family and their contributions to the history of China ． Friday ，May 8，6：30PM-7：30PMChina Institute 125East 65th Street ，New York ，NY 10065Great shorts-NEW YORK A photography exhibition held by HAN Media to celebrate its founding in New York City on April 24，featuring three emergingChinese photographers ； Yingxi Michael Shi ，Haiyin Lin and Liming Guan ，whose works have appeared in publications such asVogue ，ELLE ，The New York Times and others ．E FForbidden delights-NEW YORK The first session of the China Institute in America short course Beijing ：The City Through Its Architecture opens on Wednesday ．Nancy S ．Steinhardt discusses the Forbidden City and Beijing's imperial architecture ．Kunqu Society ，the classical Chinese theater which combines singing ，dancing and acting to literary works by masters of Ming and Qing Dynasties ，performing introduces four signature plays of Kunqu Master Jiqing Zhang to American audiences ．Sunday ，April 19，2：00PM ，ESTMiller Theatre at Columbia University2960Broadway ，New York ，NY 10027(1) Edward Leonardo Norton ，connoisseur of Chinese and Japanese antiques ．He has a strong interest in classical Chinese literary works ．He even starts going to evening classes to learn classical Chinese at Columbia University ． ______(2) Daphne Sui-yuan Tan ，former director of National Association ofPhotographers ．After reading some history books on how the first group of Chinese immigrants survived in America of the 19th century ，she has become keen on her own family history and that of others ． ______(3) Sharon Collins ，pop singer and amateur photographer ．Her marriage with a serious music critic has drawn her to his world ，so she is now crazy about classical music and will not miss any chance to attend a concert with her husband ． ______(4) Michelle Higgins ，eminent photographer and columnist for quite a fewinternationally-known travel magazines ．Recently ，she has shown great interest in photo exhibits which feature young artists with Islamic or Chinese background ． ______(5) Caroline Hugo，famous writer and influential movie critic．Last year her fantasy story which involved the mysterious Forbidden City received critical acclaim．Now she is conceiving a romance that has Shanghai of the 1930s as the setting． ______ ．38. 你接受了一项写作任务，为英语校报写一篇科技报道．[写作内容]请根据以下信息，介绍国外医疗行业出现的一项新技术．内容包括：[写作要求]只能用5个句子表达全部内容；[评分标准]句子结构准确，信息内容完整，篇章连贯．(1)(2)(3)39.

Almost a month ago, he bought popular word game that used little pieces of wood with different letters on them. As he was purchasing it, the salesgirl said, “Uh, look, the game box haven’t even been opened yet. That might be worth some money. ”Peter examined the box, and, sure enough, it was completely covered in factory-sealed plastic. And he saw a date of 1973 on the back of the box.“You should put that up for auction (拍卖) on the Internet, and see what happens.” the salesgirl said.“Yes, you’re right. People like something rare.” Peter agreed, “I can’t imagine there being very many unopened boxes of this game s till around 40 years later.”“Don’t forget to tell me if you sell it.” the salesgirl smiled.“No problem.” Peter said.After he got home, Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game. But he couldn’t find it. Then he typed in the name of the word game and hit Search. The search result was 543 websites containing information about the changes of the game. Over the years, the game had been produced using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors. He also found some lists of game fans looking for various versions of the game. Peter emailed some of them, telling them what he had.Two weeks later, Peter went back to the shop.“Hello. Do you still remember the unopened word game?”The salesgirl looked at him for a second, then recognized him and said, “Oh, hi!”“I’ve got something for you,” Peter said. “I sold the game and made $1,000. Thank you for your suggestion.” He handed her three $ 100 bills.“Wow!” the salesgirl cried out. “Thank you, I never expected it.”26. Whic h of the following best describes Peter’s word game?A.

But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always an swered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish”, I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun huts their eyes… The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them..When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like sales people.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch afish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.31. Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?A. He could not catch a fish.B. His father was not patient with him.C. His father did not teach him fishing.D. He could not influence a fish as his father did.32. What did the author’s father really mean?A. To read about fish.B. To learn fishing by oneself.C. To understand what fish think.D. To study fishing in many ways.33. According to the author, fish are most likely to be found _________.A. in deep water on sunny daysB. in deep water on cloudy daysC. in shallow water under sunlightD. in shallow water under waterside trees.34. After entering the business world, the author found _________.A. it easy to think like a customerB. his father’s fishing advice inspiringC. his first boss’s sales ideas reasonableD. it difficult to sell services to poor people35. This passage most likely comes from _________.A. a fishing guideB. a popular sales bookC. a novel on childhoodD. a millionaire’s biographyCDaniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes it’s important to distinguish television’s influences on children from those of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn’t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children’s minds.One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child’s ability t o think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images (影像). Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn’t take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents’ educational background have a stronger influence on a child’s reading. “A child’s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads.” Anderson says.Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it’s the other way around. “If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV when you’re older,” Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.36. By watching TV, children learn _________.A. images through wordsB. more than explicit meaningsC. more about images than wordsD. little about people’s psychology37. An educational program is best watched by a child _________.A. on his ownB. with other kidsC. with his parentsD. with his teachers38. Which of the following is most related to children’s reading ability?A. Radio-listeningB. Television-watchingC. Parents’ reading listD. Parents’ educational background39. Anderson believed that _________.A. the more a child watches TV, the smarter he isB. the younger a child is, the more he watches TVC. the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TVD. the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school40. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To advise on the educational use of TV.B. To describe TV’s harmful effects on children.C. To explain traditional views on TV influences.D. To present Anderson’s unconventional ideas.DIt was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had unique characteristics.In recent years, many writers have begun to speak the 'decline of class' and 'classless society' in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an important part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratification.One unchanging aspect of a British person's class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice, Most people said this accent sounded 'educated' and 'soft'. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional〔地区的〕city accents. These accents were seen as 'common' and 'ugly'. However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.In recent years, however, young upper middle-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song 'Common People' puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may 'want to live like common people' they can never appreciate the reality of a working-class life.41. A recent study of public opinion shows that in modern Britain ________.A. it is time to end class distinctionB. most people belong to middle classC. it is easy to recognize a person’s classD. people regard themselves socially different42. The word stratification in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.A. varietyB. authorityC. divisionD. qualification43. The study in the US showed that BBC English was regarded as _________.A. regionalB. educatedC. prejudicedD. unattractive44. British attitudes towards accent _________.A. have a long traditionB. are based on regional statusC. are shared by the AmericansD. have changed in recent years45. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The middle class is expandingB. A person’s accent reflects his classC. Class is a key part of British societyD. Each class has unique characteristics.信息匹配〔共5小题；每题2分，总分值10分〕请阅读以下应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

comedies．If I wanted to know anything about history or science，he always knew the answers．He knew about the past，understood the present and even seemed to be able to know what would happen in the future!With his help，my family even watched a national ball game for the first time．Both my brothers and I enjoyed sitting around the stranger．He made us laugh，he made us cry，and he never stopped

it．He also made us feel that smoking looked cool and manly．He talked freely （much too freely!）Fifty years has passed since the stranger moved in and now I am fifty﹣four．I now know that my early

virus．The disease causes dry throats and runny noses．You may also have a fever and cough together with body aches．Sometimes，you may feel tired．Usually，it takes about one or more than two weeks for a person to get back to normal．However，if flu is serious，it may result in death．In the US，there are around 200，000 patients visiting hospitals every year because of flu．So，it is better that a person should be vaccinated（接种疫苗）against it．A study shows that the flu shot（注射）has an effect on 70%﹣90% of the people below 65 yearsold．The vaccine（疫苗）works after 2 weeks or so，so it is better to get the shot two weeksbefore theonset of the flu season．If you get the shot，your body will be prepared to face the disease when flu spreads．In the United States，the flu season is usually from November to April．The flu shot is safe for use．Some people fear that the vaccine will bring other virus into their body．This worry is not necessary．The viruses in the vaccine are dead，and cannot cause danger in the body．However，we should know that the flu shot has some small side effects，which are not serious problems．The flu shot is forbidden to people who are allergic（过敏的）to eggs or to women who are going to have babies．It may result in terrible problems like heart attack．People who have a high fever should not get the shot，either．If a person does not feel well after taking the vaccine，he or she must go to see the doctor immediately．38．From Paragraph 1，we can learn that flu doesn't cause．A．fever or coughB．runny nosesC．body aches or tirednessD．clear throats39．The underlined word"onset"in Paragraph

Almost a month ago, he bought popular word game that used little pieces of wood with different letters on them. As he was purchasing it, the salesgirl said, “Uh, look, the game box haven’t even been opened yet. That might be worth some money. ”Peter examined the box, and, sure enough, it was completely covered in factory-sealed plastic. And he saw a date of 1973 on the back of the box.“You should put that up for auction (拍卖) on the Internet, and see what happens.”the salesgirl said.“Yes, you’re right. People like something rare.” Peter agreed, “I can’t imagine th ere being very many unopened boxes of this game still around 40 years later.”“Don’t forget to tell me if you sell it.” the salesgirl smiled.“No problem.” Peter said.After he got home, Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game.

Do you still remember the unopened word game?”The salesgirl looked at him for a second, then recognized him and said, “Oh, hi!”“I’ve got something for you,” Peter said. “I sold the game and made $1,000.

But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish”, I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun huts their eyes…The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them..When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like sales people.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.31. Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?A. He could not catch a fish.B. His father was not patient with him.C. His father did not teach him fishing.D. He could not influence a fish as his father did.32. What did the author’s father really mean?A. To read about fish.B. To learn fishing by oneself.C. To understand what fish think.D. To study fishing in many ways.33. According to the author, fish are most likely to be found _________.A. in deep water on sunny daysB. in deep water on cloudy daysC. in shallow water under sunlightD. in shallow water under waterside trees.34. After entering the business world, the author found _________.A. it easy to think like a customerB. his father’s fishing advice inspiringC. his first boss’s sales ideas reasonableD. it difficult to sell services to poor people35. This passage most likely comes from _________.A. a fishing guideB. a popular sales bookC. a novel on childhoodD. a millionaire’s biographyCDaniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes it’s important to distinguish television’s influences on children from those of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn’t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children’s minds.One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child’s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images (影像). Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn’t take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sp orts. Things like parents’ educational background have a stronger influence on a child’s reading. “A child’s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads.” Anderson says.Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it’s the other way around. “If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV when you’re older,” Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.36. By watching TV, children learn _________.A. images through wordsB. more than explicit meaningsC. more about images than wordsD. little about people’s psychology37. An educational program is best watched by a child _________.A. on his ownB. with other kidsC. with his parentsD. with his teachers38. Which of the following is most related to children’s reading ability?A. Radio-listeningB. Television-watchingC. Parents’ reading listD. Parents’ educational background39. Anderson believed that _________.A. the more a child watches TV, the smarter he isB. the younger a child is, the more he watches TVC. the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TVD. the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school40. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To advise on the educational use of TV.B. To describe TV’s harmful effects on children.C. To explain traditional views on TV influences.D. To present Anderson’s unconventional ideas.DIt was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had unique characteristics.In recent years, many writers have begun to speak the 'decline of class' and 'classless society' in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an important part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratification.One unchanging aspect of a British person's class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice, Most people said this accent sounded 'educated' and 'soft'. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional（地区的）city accents. These accents were seen as 'common' and 'ugly'. However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.In recent years, however, young upper middle-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song 'Common People' puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may 'want to live like common people' they can never appreciate the reality of a working-class life.41. A recent study of public opinion shows that in modern Britain ________.A. it is time to end class distinctionB. most people belong to middle classC. it is easy to recognize a person’s classD. people regard themselves socially different42. The word stratification in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.A. varietyB. most people belong to middle classC. authorityD. qualification43. The study in the US showed that BBC English was regarded as _________.A. regionalB. educatedC. prejudicedD. unattractive44. British attitudes towards accent _________.A. have a long traditionB. are based on regional statusC. are shared by the AmericansD. have changed in recent years45. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The middle class is expandingB. A person’s accent reflects his classC. Class is a key part of British societyD. Each class has unique characteristics.答案仅供参考：1-5 ADCAB 6-10 DCADC 11-15 ABACD16 a 17 Luckily 18 for 19 was left 20 when21 fell 22 without 23 to sell 24 where 25 him26-30 ABBAC 31-35 ACDBB 36-40 BCDCD 41-45 DBDAC 46-50 FCBDA。
