This class has two segments: upper-upper and lower-upper. Basically, the upper-upper classis the “old rich”—families that have been wealthy for several generations and aristocracy of birth and wealth. Their names are in the Social Register, a listing of acceptable members of high society. A few are known across the nation, such as the Rockfellers, Roosevelts, and Vanderbilts. Most are not visible to the general public. They live in grand seclusion(深居简出)，drawing their income from the investment of their inherited wealth. In contrast, the lower upper class is the “new rich”. Although they may be wealthier than some of the old rich, the new rich have hustled(急于做) to make their money like everybody else beneath their class. Thus their prestige is generally lower than that of the old rich,who have not found it necessary to lift a finger to make their money, and who tend to look down upon the new rich.However its wealth is acquired, the upper class is very, very rich. They have enough money and leisure time to cultivate an interest in the arts and to collect rare books, painting, and sculpture. They generallylive in exclusive areas, belong to exclusive social clubs, communicatewith each other, and marry their own kind—all of which keeps them so distant from the masses that they have been called the out-of-sight class. More than any other class, they tend to be conscious of being members ofa class. They also command an enormous amount of power and influence here and abroad, as they hold many top government positions, run the Councilon Foreign Relations, and control multinational corporations. Theiractions affect the lives of millions.1). All the following statements are true except that ______.A. the upper-upper class is of aristocratic origins.B. the “old rich”enjoy higher prestige than the “new rich”.C. the “old rich”isolate themselves and lead a lonely life.D. the upper class owns at least a quarter of the country's wealth.正确答案：C 满分：4 分2). The “old rich”get richer ______.A. through the Social Register.B. through their reputationC. by investing their inherited wealthD. by collecting paintings and sculptures正确答案：C 满分：4 分3). The reason why the “old rich”look down upon the “new rich”is that ______.A. the former are wealthier than the latter.B. the latter sweat themselves to make money.C. the “new rich”have no interest in arts.D. the “old rich”are conscious of being members of the upper class.正确答案：B 满分：4 分4). To a certain extent the new rich are similar to the lower and middle classes in that ______.A. they engaged in activities to make their money energeticallyB. they live in exclusive areasC. they tend to be conscious of being a member of a classD. they do not draw their income from investment正确答案：A 满分：4 分5). We can learn from the passage that ______.A. the upper class is powerful and influentialB. the upper class collects rare books to make moneyC. the upper class holds all top government positionsD. the “old rich”makes much more money than the “new rich.”正确答案：A 满分：4 分2.Are you aware that you actually possess six senses? The sixth is a muscular sense responsible for directing your muscles intelligently tothe exact extent necessary for each action you perform. For example, when you reach for an object, the sensory nerves linking the muscles to thebrain stop your hand at the correct spot. This automatic perception ofthe position of your muscles in relation to the object is your muscularsense in action.Muscles are stringly bundles of fibers varying from onefive-thousandth of an inch to about three inches. They have three unique characteristics, they can become shorter and thicker; they can stretch;and they can retract to their original positions. Under a high-powered microscope, muscle tissue is seen as long, slender cells with a grainy texture like wood.More than half of a person’s body is composed of muscle fibers, most of which are involuntary—in other words, work without conscious direction. The voluntary muscles, those that we move consciously to perform particular actions, number more than five hundred. Women have only 60 to 70 percent as much muscle as men for their body mass. That is whyan average woman can’t lift as much, throw as far, or hit as hard as an average man.1). According to the selection, the muscular sense is responsible for______.A. the efficiency of our musclesB. the normal breathing functionC. directing our muscles intelligentlyD. the work of only our involuntary muscles正确答案：C 满分：4 分2). Intelligent use of the muscles means that ________.A. one always knows what his muscles are doingB. one performs simple actions without workingC. one’s muscles are used only to the extent necessary for each actionthey performD. one improves muscular action consciously正确答案：C 满分：4 分3). Muscles are unique fibers because, they can ________.A. contractB. stretchC. retractD. do all of the above正确答案：D 满分：4 分4). Under a microscope, muscle cells appear to be _______.A. textured like woodB. colored like woodC. smooth and redD. short and thick正确答案：A 满分：4 分5). According to the selection more than half of a person’s body is composed of ______.A. voluntary musclesB. involuntary musclesC. muscle fibersD. sensory nerves正确答案：C 满分：4 分3. Long after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing (裁判) decisions that deniedvictory to their team. A researcher was appointed to study the performanceof some top referees.The researcher organized an experimental tournament (锦标赛) involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge.Observers noted down the referees' errors, of which there were 61 overthe tournament. Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number.The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyze the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when thereferees were close to the incident. When the officials got it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distancein the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the optimum (最佳的) distance is about 20 meters.There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second.If FIFA, football's international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage refereesto keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing tokeep up with the ball, the researcher argues.He also says that FIFA's insistence that referees should retire atage 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical.1). The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to _______.A. set a standard for football refereeingB. reexamine the rules for football refereeingC. review the decisions of referees at the 1998 World CupD. analyze the causes of errors made by football referees正确答案：D 满分：4 分2). The number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches was_______.A. quite unexpectedB. as high as in a standard matchC. slightly above averageD. higher than in the 1998 World Cup正确答案：A 满分：4 分3). The findings of the experiment show that _______.A. the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely will errors occurB. errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spotC. errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ballD. the farther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errors正确答案：C 满分：4 分4). The word "officials" (Line 2, Para. 4) most probably refers to _______.A. the referees of the football tournamentB. the observers at the site of the experimentC. the researchers involved in the experimentD. the inspectors of the football tournament正确答案：A 满分：4 分5). What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment?A. A football referee should be as young and energetic as possible.B. An experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physical condition.C. The ideal retirement age for an experienced football referee is 45.D. Age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee.正确答案：D 满分：4 分-END-。
