二、阅读理解（共 3 道试题，共 60 分。）V 1.      Though it is mere 1 to 3 percent of the population, the upper class possesses at  least 25 percent of the nation's 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 generations and aristocracy of birth and wealth. Their names are in the Social Register, a listing of acceptable members of  high society. A few are known across the nation, such as the Rockfellers, 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 contrast, the lower upper class is the “new rich”. Although they may be wealthier than some of the old rich, the new rich have hustled(急于做) to make their money like everybody else beneath their class. Thus their prestige is generally lower than that of the old rich, who have not found it necessary to lift 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, painting, and sculpture. They generally live in exclusive areas, belong to exclusive social clubs, communicate with each other, and marry their own kind—all of which keeps them so distant from the masses that they have been called the out-of-sight class. More than any other class, they tend to be conscious of being members of a class. They also command 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.

1). All the following statements are true except that ______.
A. the upper-upper class is of aristocratic origins.
B. the “old rich” enjoy higher prestige than the “new rich”.
C. the “old rich” isolate themselves and lead a lonely life.
D. the upper class owns at least a quarter of the country's wealth.

A. the former are wealthier than the latter.
B. the latter sweat themselves to make money.
C. the “new rich” have no interest in arts.
D. the “old rich” are conscious of being members of the upper class.
      满分：4  分
4). To a certain extent the new rich are similar to the lower and middle classes in that ______.
A. they engaged in activities to make their money energetically

2.      The chief purpose of work is not to produce things but to build the man. It is not so important what shape or form our work may take; what is vitally important is our attitude toward that work.
    Even if the particular duty is one which doesn’t seem worth doing, if you must do it, it is important to do it right. Even if no one else will ever know whether you did it right or not, you will know. By making a commitment to quality work, you make a commitment to yourself to develop your abilities and self-respect, to do the best you can do and be the best you can be. When you do as little as possible or just enough to get by, you are not merely cheating your employer, your customers, your clients, and your co-workers, but most importantly, you cheat yourself. You cheat yourself out of an opportunity to develop pride and self-worth. You cheat yourself out of an opportunity to meet a challenge and develop your own inner powers and abilities. You may be able to get away with cheating others, but never get away with cheating yourself.
    Thus, the key is a commitment to yourself to use every possible opportunity for self-development and treat every work assignment, no matter how small or boring, as a challenge that can be used in your development.
    Work is a projection (投影) of self. Consciousness (意识) can regard any job as a potential opportunity for self-expression, for play, for creativity, for the furtherance (推动) of social objectives, and it can arrange the factors in the job so that they form a means of self-expression.
    Most jobs contain at least some limited options for creativity. To the extent that any job can be done in different ways, the job presents you with an opportunity to project your unique abilities and values into that job. Any type of communication, written or spoken, presents a significant opportunity for creative expression. Even if your efforts are reviewed and must be toned down to fit into the mold (模型) of your organization, there is always a slight opening through which you can project your unique personality. Use these opportunities to express and confirm your existence.

1). The most important thing about work is __________________.
A. to produce things
B. the shape one’s work takes
C. the amount of money it makes
D. one’s attitude towards the work
      满分：4  分
2). If the work doesn’t seem worth doing, you should _____________.
A. give it up
B. tell others to do it
C. stop in the middle
D. perform it carefully
      满分：4  分
3). What can work assignments offer people?
A. An opportunity to develop oneself.
B. A chance to get away with cheating themselves.
C. Few options for creativity.
D. A way to get rid of your unique personality.
      满分：4  分
4). Which of the following statements is not true?
A. Sometimes you have to adjust yourself to your work.
B. There is space for you to show your creativity.
C. Work must be done in one way in order to be the most efficient.
D. You may never cheat yourself.
      满分：4  分
5). The main idea of the passage is __________.
A. how to improve your creativity
B. the importance of projecting your values into your job
C. when to express yourself
D. how to change one’s personality
      满分：4  分
3.      Long after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing (裁判) decisions that denied victory to their team. A researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees.
    The researcher organized an experimental tournament (锦标赛) involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge.
    Observers noted down the referees' errors, of which there were 61 over the tournament. Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number.
    The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyze the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials got it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the optimum (最佳的) distance is about 20 meters.
    There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second.
    If FIFA, football's international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues.
    He also says that FIFA's insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical.

1). The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to _______.
A. set a standard for football refereeing
B. reexamine the rules for football refereeing
C. review the decisions of referees at the 1998 World Cup
D. analyze the causes of errors made by football referees
      满分：4  分
2). The number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches was _______.
A. quite unexpected
B. as high as in a standard match
C. slightly above average
D. higher than in the 1998 World Cup
      满分：4  分
3). The findings of the experiment show that _______.
A. the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely will errors occur
B. errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot
C. errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ball
D. the farther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errors
      满分：4  分
4). The word "officials" (Line 2, Para. 4) most probably refers to _______.
A. the referees of the football tournament
B. the observers at the site of the experiment
C. the researchers involved in the experiment
D. the inspectors of the football tournament
      满分：4  分
5). What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment?
A. A football referee should be as young and energetic as possible.
B. An experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physical condition.
C. The ideal retirement age for an experienced football referee is 45.
D. Age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee.
      满分：4  分
