Class, power and status are important in deciding peoples rank in society. Class means a persons economic position in society. A commonly used classif
24、ication 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.
25、 Interestingly, a surgeon earning 500,000 a year and a bus driver earning 50,000 a 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 peopl
26、e who take orders from others have less power. Power and class do not always go hand in hand, however.

D.A语篇解读：独特的文化，独特的风情，巴厘岛无疑是印度尼西亚的一朵奇葩，焕发出奇异的光彩，尽情地向世人展现自己的绚烂。 5解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的内容可知，巴厘人生活在大家庭中，而且彼此之间关系非常亲密。答案：B6解析：细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句的内容可知，印度教对巴厘岛的影响渗透到艺术方面，这使它不同于印度尼西亚的其他地方。答案：D7解析：词义猜测题。由
31、画线词所在句可知，尽管每年都有无数的游客涌往巴厘岛，巴厘人仍然能够设法”保存”他们自己独特的文化。故conserve与preserve的意思最接近。答案：A8解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“death is a joyous and colorful event for the Balinese”可推知，当巴厘人去世时，人们的惯例是将其视为重大的好事进行庆祝。答案：B9解析：主旨大意题。第一段的第一句是本文的主题句，本文叙述的是巴厘文化，后面四段从不同的侧面对巴厘文化进行诠释。故C项最能概括本文的主旨。答案：CB 1.【分析】这是一道细节题。从文中For children six to t
32、welve yours old，give half the amount.可以看出612岁的孩子服药应该减半，那么题干中over 12就该用成人量，并且从第二段的最后一句Do not take more than six tablets in twentyfour hours.可以推断出C为正确答案。 2.【分析】这是一道计算题。C为本题的最佳答案。注意题干中normally与文中as required同义，成人首量为 2片，随后8小时服一片，即正常情况成人服4片，而小孩自然是2片了，至于为缓解疼痛成人所服的2片，并非属于正常之内。此题通过率为48，区分度为O.496。 3.【分析】这是一道细
33、节题。正确答案为D。文中的信息句是：Reduce the amount if you suffer from restlessness or sleep lessness。 4.【分析】这是一道判断题。从说明书上的For children under six years old，ask your doctors advice.一句话中可以领悟出其言外之意。这种药对六岁以下儿童很危险。况且成人服药量24小时都不得超6片，足以可以判断B为该题的最佳答案。此题难度适宜，通过率为5l。 5.【分析】这是一道综合判断题。考生须将药品说明书和文章开头的自然段联系在一起才能得出正确答案。从考卷分析结果看，当
34、年相当部分考生忽视文章的开头一段，而误选D为答案。所以A为本题答案。C答案 64.B 65.A 66.B 67.AD【要点综述】本文体裁为议论文，社会类阅读理解，谈到关于社会等级权利地位的话题。社会学家研究了美国社会阶层中的权利与阶层关系问题。54.【答案】B【解析】细节理解题。根据文章第二段话46% the middle class可以直接得出答案为B。55.【答案】A【解析】根据文章第三段话第三行power and class do not always go hand in hand, however可知答案为A。56.【答案】A【解析】篇章结构题。根据对文章整体理解，文章为总分结构，第一段综述，其余三段分述，故选A。w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m- 10 - 版权所有高考资源网
