The United States perceives itself to be a middle-class nation.However,middle class is not a real designation,nor does it carry privileges.It is more of a perception,which probably was as true as it ever could be right after World War Ⅱ.The economy was growing,more and more people owned their own homes,workers had solid contracts with the companies that employed them,and nearly everyone who wanted a higher education could have one.Successfi1l people enjoyed upward social mobility.They may have started out poor,but they could become rich.Successful people also found that they had greater geographic mobility.In other words,they found themselves moving to and living in a variety of places.
The middle class collectively holds several values and principles.One strong value is the need to earn enough money to feel that one can determine one's own economic fate.In addition,middle class morality embraces principles of individual responsibility,importance of family,obligations to others,and believing in something outside oneself.
But in the 1990s those in the middle class found that there was a price for success.A U. S. News&World Report survey in 1994 indicated that 75 percent of Americans believed that middle class families could no longer make ends meet.Both spouses now worked,as did some of the children;long commutes became routine;the need for child care put strains on the family;and public schools were not as good as they once were.Members of the middle class were no longer financing their lifestyles through earnings but were using credit to stay afloat. The understanding of just what middle class meant was changing.

The word"collectively"means__________.
A:as a group
B:hesitatingly
C:unknowingly
D:weakly

  • 第9题:

    根据以下材料,回答
    The American Revolution was not arevolution in the sense of a radical or total change. It was not a sudden andviolent overturning of the political and social framework, such as lateroccurred in France and Russia, when both were already independent nations.Significant changes were ushered in, but they were not breathtaking. Whathappened was accelerated evolution rather than outright revolution. During theconflict itself people went on working and praying, marrying and playing. Mostof them were not seriously disturbed by the actual fighting, and many of themore isolated communities scarcely knew that a war was on.
    America′s War of Independence heralded thebirth of three modem nations. One was Canada, which received its first largeinflux of English-speaking population from the thousands of loyalists who fledthere from the United States. Another was Australia, which became a penalcolony now that America was no longer available for prisoners and debtors. Thethird new comer--the United States--based itself squarely on republican principles.
    Yet even the political overturn was not asrevolutionary as one might suppose. In some states, notable Connecticut andRhode Island, the war largely ratified a colonial self-rule alreadyexisting.British officials, everywhere ousted, were replaced by a home-growngoverning class, which promptly sought a local substitute for king andParliament.

    Which of the following would be thebest title for the passage?

    A.The United States: An Isolated Community
    B.Surprising Events During the AmericanRevolution
    C.Canada and the American War ofIndependence
    D.The American Revolution: Evolution NotRevolution

    答案:D
    解析:
    主旨题。通读全文可知,文章的结构是总一分结构。第一段是总括段,第二、三段是分段。根据第一段中“The American Revolution was not a revolution in the sense of aradical or total change.”“Significant changes wereushered in,but they were not breathtaking.What happened was accelerated evolution rather than outrightrevolution."可知美国革命并未导致完全的和彻底的变化,所发生的只是进化的加速,并不算是一场革命。所以D项“美国革命:进化而不是革命”作为文章标题最恰当。

    A

    Brazilian went to Pao de Acucar because it was a brand from the “First World”

Local corner shops were often considerably cheaper.”说明发达国家采用Pao de Acucar的定价政策,相对而言地方角落里的商品经常会便宜很多,可以看出中产阶级的巴西人因为标语选择去Pao de Acucar,而不是更便宜的地方性商店。故选C。

    问答题
    What we today call American folk art was, art of, by, and for ordinary, everyday I “folks” who, with increasing prosperity and leisure, created a market for art of all kinds, and especially for portraits. Citizens of prosperous, essentially middle-class republics — whether ancient Romans,seventeenth-century Dutch burghers, or nineteenth-century Americans — have always shown a marked taste for portraiture. Starting in the late eighteenth century, the United States contained an increasing number of such people, and of the artists who could meet their demands.

    正确答案:
    我们所说的美国民间艺术是由普通百姓所拥有、创造并享受的艺术。随着财富和闲暇与日俱增,他们创造了各种艺术的市场,特别是肖像绘画。家境殷实的、主要是中产阶级的市民——不管他们是古罗马人,或是l7世纪荷兰自治城市富裕居民,抑或是19世纪的美国人——都对肖像绘画艺术表现出突出的爱好。从18世纪晚期开始,美国这一群体的数量不断增加,而且满足画像要求的艺术家也不断地增加。

    本题考查细节。A选项,帝国大厦焚毁,众所周知,这是纳粹希特勒精心策划的一次政治阴谋,旨在迫害德国共产党。综上,A选项正确。

    B选项,德国征服计划,不合题意,故排除。

    C选项,纳粹之残暴,不合题意,故排除。

    D选项,迫害宗教团体在文中都提到。见第一段第二句“民主的全面摧毁、对犹太人的迫害、摧残宗教、纳粹的残忍和野蛮,特别是德国及其盟国意、日征服世界的计划激起美国极大愤怒,也带来了对又一次世界大战的恐惧。” ,不合题意,故排除。

    故正确选项为A。

    The United States perceives itself to be a middle-class nation.However,middle class is not a real designation(称号),nor does it carry privileges. It is more of a perception,which probably was as true as it ever could be right after World War Ⅱ.The economy was growing,more and more people owned their own homes,workers had solid contracts with the companies that employed them,and nearly everyone who wanted a higher education could have one.Successful people enjoyed upward social mobility.They may have started out poor,but they could become rich.Successful people also found that they had greater geographic mobility.In other words,they found themselves moving to and living in a variety of places.
    The middle class collectively holds several values and principles.One strong value is the need to earn enough money to feel that one can determine one's own economic fate.In addition,middle class morality embraces principles of individual responsibility,importance of family,obligations to others,and believing in something outside oneself.
    But in the l990s those in the middle class found that there was a price for success.A US News &World Report survey in 1994 indicated that 75 percent of Americans believed that middle class families could no longer make ends meet. Both spouses now worked,as did some of the children; long commutes became routine;the need for child care put strains on(给······带来压力)the family;and public schools were not as good as they once were.Members of the middle class were no longer financing their lifestyles through earnings but were using credit to stay afloat. The understanding of just what middle class meant was changing.

    The phrase "In other words"in the first paragraph means that the following statement is_________.
    A:an excepti6n to the previous idea
    B:a denial of the previous idea
    C:a restatement of the previous idea
    D:a contrasting idea

    答案:C
    解析:
    本题问的是:本文的信息是关于什么的?本文通篇讲述美国的中产阶级,这一阶段是一个社会和经济群体,因此选择B。
    本题问的是:一个普遍的中产阶级价值观是什么?本篇第二段最后一句话提到:中产阶级的道德观包括个人的责任感、家庭的重要性、对他人的责任感以及相信自身以外事物的存在。A、B、C三个选项不包括在内,因此正确答案是D。
    本题问的是:在第二次世界大战之后的几年,中产阶级可以被定义为什么?本篇第一段提到了当时美国经济不断增长并且人们生活水平有了提高,因此选择C选项“成功并且乐观”。
    本题问的是:第一段中的In other words这个短语与下列说法一致的是哪个?in other words意为“换句话来说”,因此正确答案是C。

    根据以下材料,回答
    The American Revolution was not arevolution in the sense of a radical or total change. It was not a sudden andviolent overturning of the political and social framework, such as lateroccurred in France and Russia, when both were already independent nations.Significant changes were ushered in, but they were not breathtaking. Whathappened was accelerated evolution rather than outright revolution. During theconflict itself people went on working and praying, marrying and playing. Mostof them were not seriously disturbed by the actual fighting, and many of themore isolated communities scarcely knew that a war was on.
    America′s War of Independence heralded thebirth of three modem nations. One was Canada, which received its first largeinflux of English-speaking population from the thousands of loyalists who fledthere from the United States. Another was Australia, which became a penalcolony now that America was no longer available for prisoners and debtors. Thethird new comer--the United States--based itself squarely on republican principles.
    Yet even the political overturn was not asrevolutionary as one might suppose. In some states, notable Connecticut andRhode Island, the war largely ratified a colonial self-rule alreadyexisting.British officials, everywhere ousted, were replaced by a home-growngoverning class, which promptly sought a local substitute for king andParliament.

    What does the author mean by "people went on working andpraying, marrying and playing" in Paragraph 1?

    A.People had enough leisure time then.
    B.More people got married than divorced.
    C.Life went on as usual.
    D.The war created new jobs.

    答案:C
    解析:
    语义题。根据题干定位于第一段最后两句话“Duringthe conflict itself people went on working and praying.marryingand playing.Most of them were not seriously disturbedby the actual fighting…”.可知在冲突期间,人们仍然上班、做礼拜、结婚、玩耍,多数人并没有受到实际战斗的严重影响。所以作者写这句话是想表明在冲突期间,人们仍照常生活。故选C。

    正确答案:
    【参考译文】
    美国把自己看作是一个中产阶级国家。然而,中产阶级并不是真正的指定,也不会带来特权。它更多的可能是一种感觉,二战以后可能就是这样的感觉。经济增长,越来越多的人拥有自己的居所,工人与雇佣公司有可靠的合同,几乎所有想得到高等教育的人都可以如愿以偿。成功人士享受向上的社会流动性。他们可能开始是穷人,但是可以变得富有。成功人士也发现,他们有更大的地域流动性,即是说,他们发现自己移居并生活在各种各样的地方。
    中产阶层持有一些价值观和原则。一个重要的价值观就是,要赚足够的钱去感受自己决定自己经济命运的感觉。除此之外,中产阶层的道德观看重个人责任、家庭重要性,对他人的义务及信任他人。
    但在上世纪90年代,中产阶层的人发现成功是有代价的。美国1994年新世界调查报告指出75%的中产阶层美国人认为家庭收支不能平衡。父母双方都在工作,对孩子都一样。长期的通勤是常规,孩子的看护给家庭添加负担。公立学校没有以前好。中产阶层的生活方式不再建立在收入上,而是靠信用来维持。对什么是中产阶级的理解正在发生变化。
