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 people who take orders from others have less power. Power and class do not always go hand in hand, however. For example, the governor of a state has great power, but he or she may not belong to a corresponding （相应的）economic class. Generally, however, there is a relationship between power and class. To our knowledge, there aren’t too many people who aren’t millionaires in the U.S. Senate!
Status is the honor or respect attached to a person’s position in society. It can also be affected by power and class, but not necessarily so. For example, a university professor may have a high status but not belong to a high social class or have a lot of power over others.
54. What can we learn about “the middle class” from Paragraph 2? A. People earning ＄50,000 a year belong to the middle class. B. Nearly half Americans belong to the middle class.
C. People generally consider bus drivers as the middle class. D. Sociologists have a clear definition of the middle class. 55. According to the text, we know that _____.
A. power and class do not always correspond with each other B. status refers to a person’s economic position in society C. people with high status have a lot of control over others D. class is less important in deciding a person’s social rank 56. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?
D
About 30 years ago,I left Cuba for the United States with my son.After getting settled finally in Brunswick,New Jersey,I enrolled(注册) my son in kindergarten. Several weeks later,my son’s teacher asked me to meet him at his office.
In the teacher’s office, and exchange of greetings was followed by his questions: “Is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)？Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability?”
Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? NO,no,it can’t be. What a helpless,lonely moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet,sweet little boy,instead.I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.
My son could not follow the teacher’s directions, he told me,and thus,Scola was disrupting the class.Didn’t he know my son did not speak English yet?
He was angry; “Why hasn’t your son been taught to speak English? Don’t you speak English at home?”
No,I didn’t speak English at home,I replied. I was sure my son would learn
English in a couple of months,and I didn't want him to forget his native language.Well,wrong answer! What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all times? “Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country, never wanting to be a part of this society?”
Needless to say,I tried to tell him I was not one of “those people.” Then he told me the meeting was over,and I left.
As I had expected,my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over.He went on to graduate from college and got a job,earning close to six figures.He travels widely and leads a well-adjusted, contented life. And he has benefited from being bilingual(双语的)。
Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others;it teaches people about other cultures and other places—something very basic and obviously lacking in the “educator” I met in New Jersey.
57.The teacher asked the author to his office__________. A to discuss Scola’s in-class performance B to get Scola enrolled in kindergarten
C to find a language partner for Scola D to work out a study plan for Scola
58.What does the underlined word “disrupting” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A Breaking B Following C Attending D Disturbing
59.The author’s attitude towards being bilingual may best be described as__________.
A critical B casual C positive D passive 60.This text is likely to be selected from a book of _________.
A medicine B education C geography D history 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从下框的A---F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余选项。
A. Adults keep pets with their children. B. Pet-keeping has a very long history. C. Pet-keeping may do harm to animals. D. People keep pets for their aesthetic need. E. Caged pets become increasingly popular. F. Pet-keeping is helpful for children’s growth.
61. B Pet-keeping is a time-honoured tradition. One of the reasons for people to raise dogs or cows was usefulness. While people in the past hunted animals and kept them in their backyards, the civilsed man today is less cruel towards them and is less exploitative(利用的).
62. D We keep animals as pets because they are attractive. We all have the urge to possess something that has aesthetic（审美的）value, and that is why we treasure paintings or fine furniture. Keeping pets is one form of this urge. A Siamese cat in the house can be a decorative object. Pets are playful animals and they amuse us. A little rabbit amuses us by its playful and lively runs. 63. F Many parents find it helpful to have pets in the house for their children. Having pets is an excellent way of developing in children the love of animals and responsibility. Children get the opportunity to take on full responsibitity for another creature’s life. It will be an educational expreience for a child to watch the natural life cycle of an animal. There are psychological(心理的) benefits for children. Pets are welcome friends for children who are lonely. Pets are excellent companions. Keeping pets means giving love and being loved. We find comfort in giving care and receiving care in return. We get pleasure from their appearance and their behavior. 64. E As more people move into apartments, there are limitations on keeping of animals like dogs and monkeys. Therefore, caged animals have increased in popularity. Birds fall into this group. We keep them for their beautiful songs and feathers. Fish-keeping is a widespread hobby and the keeper can observe their behaviour in the glass tank and study its entire life cycle. The cat is a fine house pet and it fits neatly into human habitation(居住地) without requiring its own cage. They are wonderful hunters, if there are rats around. 65. C Pets satisfy man’s desire to care for a bit of nature. The pet owner has the responsibility for supplying those needs that nature provides. Pets are amusing and entertaining, but we are in a way doing animals harm by making them live in a human environment. Are we not enslaving(奴役)them? 第三部分 写作 （共三节，满分55分）

书面表达：
I am an 18-year-old middle school student. I have been busy with my study and seldom helped my parents with the housework. Feeling quite sorry for that, I begin to think about what to do to help.
Last Sunday, when my parents went out shopping, I suddenly got an idea: why not give the rooms a thorough cleaning? Firstly I collected all the books, newspapers and other things scattered in the rooms and put them in place. Then I wiped the dust off all the furniture. After that, I swept and mopped the floors.
At this very moment, my parents came back and were quite surprised to see all the rooms tidy and floors shinning. My mother gave me a hug and I could see satisfaction in her eyes. Tired as I was, I never felt so happy.
