26、the upper class possesses at least 25 percent of the nations wealth. This class has two segments: upper-upper and lower-upper. Basically, the upper-upper class is the “old rich”families that have been wealthy for several generationsan aristocracy of birth and wealth. Their names are in the Social Re

27、gister, a listing of acceptable members of high society. A few are known across the nation, such as the Rockefellers, 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 co

28、ntrast, the lower-upper class is the “new rich”. Although they may be wealthier than some of the old rich, the new rich are anxious to make their money like everybody else beneath their class. Thus their prestige(威望) is generally lower than that of the old rich, who have not found it necessary to li

29、ft 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, paintings, and sculptures. They generally live in

30、exclusive areas, belong to exclusive social clubs, communicate with each other, and marry their own kindall of which keeps them so distant from the masses that they have been called the out-of-fight class. More than any other class, they tend to be conscious of being members of a class. They also co

31、mmand an enormous amount of power and influence here and abroad, as they hold many top government positions, run the Council on Foreign Relations, and control multinational corporations. Their actions affect the lives of millions. 56. According to the author, the “old rich” get richer _. A. through

32、the Social RegisterB. through their reputation C. by investing their inherited wealthD. by collecting paintings and sculptures 57.

33、w rich” have no interest in arts D. the “old rich” are conscious of being members of the upper class 58. The upper class is also called the out-of-sight class because _.

35、 six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table. I couldnt help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked: So, how have you been? And the boywho could not have been more than seven or eight years o

36、ldreplied, Frankly, Ive been feeling a little depressed lately. This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didnt find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school. The evidence of a change in ch

37、ildren has increased steadily in recent years. Children dont seem childlike any more. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to. Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no lon

38、ger exists. Why? Human development is based not only on innate (天生的) biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and

39、 in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders. In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation (透露) machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information, and indiscriminately (不加区分地), to all

40、viewers alike, be they children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures. Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to w

41、hich children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practiced. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials. 60. According to the author, feeling depressed is _. A. a sure sign of a psychological problem in a child B.

42、something hardly to be expected in a young child C. an inevitable phase of childrens mental development D. a mental state present in all humans, including children 61. Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world _. A. through contact with societyB. gradually and under guidance

43、C. naturally and by biological instinctD. through exposure to social information 62. Why is the author in favor of communication through print for children? A. It enables children to gain more social information. B. It develops childrens interest in reading and writing. C. It helps children to memor

44、ize and practice more. D. It can control what children are to learn. 63. What does the author think of the change in todays children? A. He feels amused by their premature behavior. B. He thinks it is a phenomenon worthy of note. C. He considers it a positive development. D. He seems to be upset abo

45、ut it. C Abby Subark is a mother of two from Boston. “For my kids, Im nervous. I dont know if theyll be able to achieve their American dream.” She may be right. More than hard work or education, the best way to get rich in America is to be born rich. It is the case that somebody who is in the upper

46、third of income, poor scores, in the bottom on tests when they are in eighth grade, is more likely to go to college and finish college than a poor kid with the top scores. Thats what the working persons children are up against. The Economic Policy Institute finds it would take a poor couple with 2 c

47、hildren 9 or 10 generations to achieve middle class status. Thats about 200 years. The hallmark (特征) of American opportunity has always been the ability to do better than your parents. But compared with similar developed countries, the United States ranks fifth out of six for so-called intergenerati

48、onal mobility (变动). If you look at the mechanisms (机制) for upward mobility that were so readily available 50 years ago, they are becoming out of reach, like plentiful factory jobs with good wages and affordable education and health care. White families are twice as likely as blacks to be upwardly mo

49、bile. For most people in America today, where you end up depends on where you start. If you started in the middle-income class, about 40 to 45 percent of what you are making right now is due to the fact that your parents were in the middle-income class. The rest is up to you. But for the millions of

50、 people who find themselves below the poverty line (贫困线) and the millions more who are the working poor, their starting point for the American dream leaves them painfully far away from the middle class. 64. The main idea of the passage is _. A. How the middle class comes about in the U.S. B. Its har

51、d to realize the American dream for the poor. C. Wealth and social status depend on family background. D. Upward mobility in America is never easy. 65. Which of the statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. People used to have job opportunities and welfare for upward mobility. B. A great m

52、any poor people can hardly realize their American dream. C. You can make all your dreams come true in America if born rich. D. Rich kids are more likely to go to college than poor kids. 66. What can we infer after reading the passage? A. Poverty causes people much pain. B. People below the poverty l

53、ine can never be in the middle class. C. Lower starting point makes it hard for people to realize their dream. D. Poor peoples starting point is too low. D Most of us are used to seasons. Each year, spring follows winter, which follows autumn, which follows summer, which follows spring. And winter i

54、s colder than summer. But the earth goes through temperature cycles over much longer periods than those that we experience. Between 65,000 and 35,000 years ago, the planet was much colder than it is now. During that time the temperature also changed a lot, with periods of warming and cooling. Ice me

55、lted during the warm periods, which made sea levels rise. Water froze again during the cold periods. A new study from Switzerland sheds light on where ice sheets melted during the ice age. It now seems that the ice melted at both ends of the earth, rather than just in either northern or southern are

56、as. This surprised the researchers from the University of Bern. Scientists have long assumed（认为）that most of the ice that melted was in the Northern hemisphere（半球）during the 30,000-year-long ice age. That belief was held because the North Pole is surrounded by land, while the South Pole is surrounde

57、d by the Antarctic Ocean. It is easier for ice sheets to grow on land. If surrounded by sea, the ice can easily just slip to the ocean instead of building up. The researchers used a computer model to look at the ways the ice could melt and how it might affect sea levels. They compared these results

58、to evidence (迹象) of how temperatures and currents actually changed during that time. The model showed that if it was only in the Northern hemisphere that ice melted, there would be a bigger effect on ocean currents (洋流) and sea temperatures than what actually happened. Studies suggest that melting j

59、ust in the Southern hemisphere would have been impossible, too. The only reasonable conclusion, the scientists could make, was that the ice melted equally in the North and the South. It is still a mystery as to what caused the temperature changes that caused the ice to melt. 67. We can learn from th

60、e text that . A. we have experienced temperature cycles since they began. B. what caused ice to melt is still unknown C. the planet was much colder than it is now between 65,000 and 35,000 years ago, during which time temperature hardly changed D. before the new study, scientists long believed that
