阅读理解 （共两节，满分50分）第一节：（ 共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分 ）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。ain the eighteenth century one of the first modern economists, adam smith, thought that “ the whole annual produce of the land and labour of every country” provided revenue to “three different orders of people: those who live by rent, those who live by wages, and those who live by profit”. each successive stage of the industrial revolution, however, made the social structure more complicated.many intermediate groups grew up during the nineteenth century between the upper middle class and the working class. there were small-scale industrialists as well as large ones, small shopkeepers and tradesmen, officials and salaried employees, skilled and unskilled workers, and professional men such as doctors and teachers. farmers and peasants continued in all countries as independent groups.during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries the possession of wealth inevitably affected a persons social position. intelligent industrialists with initiative made fortunes by their wits which lifted them into an economic group far higher than that of their working-class parents. but they lacked social training of the upper class, who despised them as the “new rich.”they often sent their sons and daughters to special schools to acquire social training. here their children, mixed with the children of the upper classes, were accepted by them, and very often found marriage partners from among them. in the same way, a thrifty, hardworking labourer, though not clever himself, might save for his son enough to pay for an extended secondary school education in the hope that he would move in a “white-collar” occupation, carrying with it a higher salary and a move up in the social scale.in the twentieth century the increased taxation of higher incomes, the growth of the social services, and the wider development of educational opportunity have considerably altered the social outlook. the upper classes no longer are the sole, or even the main possessors of wealth, power and education, though inherited social position still carries considerable prestige.41. what criterion did adam smith seem to go by in his classification of social groups?a. the amount of wealth b. the amount of moneyc. the social status d. the way of getting money42. if you compare the first and second paragraph, what groups of people did adam smith leave out in his classification?a. officials and employees. b. peasants and farmers.c. doctors and teachers. d. tradesmen and landlords.43. who were the new rich during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries?a. they were still the upper class people.b. they were owners of large factories.c. they were intelligent industrialists.d. they were skilled workers who made their fortune.44. according to the passage, what did those people do who intended to make their children move up in the social ladder?a. they saved a lot of money for their children to receive higher education.b. they tried to find marriage partners from the children of the upper class.c. they made greater fortunes by their wits.d. they worked even harder to acquire social training.45. in the twentieth century class differences have been partly smoothed out by _.a. increased income and decreased taxationb. taxation, social services and educational opportunitiesc. education, the increase of income and industrial developmentd. the decrease of the upper class populationbwe all know what it is like to be unable to turn your head because of a cold in the muscles of your neck, or because an unexpected twist has made your neck ache. the slightest move makes you jump with pain. nothing could be worse than a pain in the neck.that is why we use the phrase to describe some people who give you the same feeling. we have all met such people.one is the man who always seems to be clapping his handsoften at the wrong timeduring a performance in the theater. he keeps you from hearing the actors.even worse are those who can never arrive before the curtain goes up and the play begins. they come hurrying down to your row of seats. you are comfortably settled down, with your hat and heavy coat in your lap. you must stand up to let them pass. you are proud of yourself-control after they have settled into their seatswell, what nowgod, one of them is up again. he forgot to go to the mens room, and once more you have to stand up, hanging on to your hat and coat to let him pass. now, that is “a pain in the neck”.another, wellknown to us all, is the person sitting behind you in the movies. his mouth is full of popcorn ; he is chewing loudly, or talking between bites to friends next to him. none of them remain still. up and down, back and forth, they gofor another bag of popcorn, or something to drink.then, there is the man sitting next to you at lunch, smoking. he wants you to enjoy it too, and blows smoke across your food into your mouth.we must not forget the man who comes into a bus or subway and sits down next to you, just as close as you will let him. you are reading the newspaper and he gets closer so that he can read the paper with you. he may even turn the paper to the next page before you are ready for it.we also call such a person a “rubber neck”, always getting close to where it does not belong, like neighbors who watch all your visitors. they enjoy learning about your personal business. people have a strong dislike for “rubber necks”. they hate being watched secretly.46according to the passage, how do you feel when late comers walk back and forth in front of you in a cinema?a. disturbed. b. bored. c. ignored. d. relaxed.47a “rubber neck” often _ .a. says bad words behind people. b. quarrels face to face with neighbors.c. bargains with salespeople over the price d. asks about other peoples business48which of the following persons cannot be described as a “pain in the neck”?a. someone who often claps at the wrong time during a performance.b. someone who feels ache in his neck due to a cold in the muscles.c. someone who sits next to you smoking, which you never enjoy. d. someone who keeps eating or talking all through the movies. 49what is the main purpose of the author? a. to tell people what might be bad manners in public.b. to criticize (批评) the people who might be a “pain in the neck” c. to show anger to those who are described as a “pain in the neck”. d. to tell people how to stop the pain in the neck. cit seems hard to watch someone yawn（打哈欠） and not to yawn ourselves. even reading about yawning can make you do it. now, a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force. yawning when others yawn, the study suggests, is a sign of pity and a form of social connection. kids dont develop this deeply rooted behavior until around age four, the study found. kids with autism (自闭症) are less likely to catch yawns. in the most serious cases, they never do. yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly. the work could also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people communicate and connect. emotional infection seems to be a born thing that connects us together, said molly helt, a graduate student in psychology at the university of connecticut. yawning may be part of that. inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane. she repeatedly yawned at him, hoping he would yawn back. he never did. the fact that autistic kids dont do it might mean theyre really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them, she said. the biggest thing people try to figure out after birth is how we become humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others, she added. autistic people never seem to understand that. like infectious （有感染力的）laughter and crying, scientists have found that yawning is a shared experience that promotes social connection. helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group.50. what does the new study suggest, according to the first two paragraphs? a. yawning is a form of communication. b. it is easy to stop yawning when you see others yawn.c. children follow others in yawning just after they are born. d. yawning has some mysterious force which is related to god.51. according to molly helt, _. a. humans differ from animals because they communicate with others b. yawning is a kind of emotional connection among humansc. emotions are infectious, but yawning is notd. yawning helps clear ears on planes52. which of the following is not true about yawning? a. it is natural to yawn back if people around you yawn.b. some kids are too young to yawn after others.c. yawning can be used to test childrens development.d. kids with autism yawn easily when others yawn. 53. the author implies in the last paragraph that _.a. yawning is different from infectious laughter and crying in theoryb. it is bad manners to yawn on some social occasionsc. the more you yawn, the happier you will be d. yawning can make people feel relaxed dspace is where our future is trips to the moon, mars and beyond. most people would think that aside from comets(彗星) and stars, there is little else out there. but, since our space journey started we have left so much trash（垃圾） there that scientists are now concerned that if we dont clean it up, we may all be in mortal （致命的）danger.the first piece of space junk was created in 1964, when the american satellite vanguard i stopped operating and lost its connection with the ground center. however, since it kept orbiting around the earth without any consequences, scientists became increasingly comfortable abandoning things that no longer served any useful purpose in space.it is estimated that there are now over 500,000 pieces of man-made trash orbiting the earth at speeds of up to 17,500 miles per hour. the junk varies from tiny pieces of paint chipped off rockets to cameras, huge fuel tanks, and even odd items like the million-dollar tool kit that astronaut heidemarie stefanyshyn piper lost during a spacewalk.the major problem with the space trash is that it may hit working satellites and damage traveling spacecraft(飞船). moreover, pieces of junk may collide（碰撞） with each other and break into pieces which fall back to the earth. to avoid this, scientists have invented several ways for clearing the sky. ground stations have been built to monitor larger pieces of space trash to prevent them from crashing into working satellites or space shuttles. future plans include a cooperative effort among many nations to stop littering in space and to clean up the trash already there.54. what was the first piece of man-made space trash?a. a camera.b. a tool kit.c. a fuel tank. d. a broken satellite.55. why were scientists not concerned about space trash in the beginning?a. it no longer served any useful purpose.b. it was millions of miles away from the earth.c. it did not cause any problems.d. it was regarded as similar to comets and stars.56. which of the following statements is true about space junk?a. it is huge, heavy machines.b. it never changes position.c. it floats slowly around the earth.d. it may cause problems for space shuttles.57. what has been done about the space trash problem?a, scientists have cleaned up most of the trash.b. large pieces of space trash ar
