Passage FiveIn every language there are two great classes of words which, taken together, consist of the whole vocabulary. First, there are those words with which we become acquainted in daily conversation, which we learn, that is to say, from the members of our own family and from our familiar associates, and which we should know and use even if we could not read or write. They concern the common things of life, and are the goods in trade of all those who speak the language. Such words may be called "popular", since they belong to the whole people; and are not the exclusive possession of a limited class.On the other hand, our language includes a large number of words which are comparatively seldom used in ordinary conversation. Their meanings are known to every educated person, but there is little occasion to use them at home or in the market-place. Our first acquaintance with them comes not from our mother's lips or from the talk of our school-mates, but from books that we read, lectures that we bear, or the more formal conversation of highly educated speakers who are discussing some particular topic in a style. raised above the habitual level of everyday life. Such words are called "learned". And the distinction between them and "popular" words is of great importance to a right understanding of the language.51. One class of words can be learned ______.A. through everyday lifeB. without too much practiceC. from popular songsD. with a dictionary in one's hand

Passage 1
As regards social conventions,we must say a word about the well-known English class system.This is an embarrassing subject for English people,and one they tend to be ashamed of,though?during the present century class-consciousness has grown less and less,and the class system less?rigid.But it still exists below the surface.Broadly speaking,it means there are two classes,the"middle class"and the"working class".(We shall ignore for a moment the old"upper class",including the hereditary aristocracy,since it is extremely small in numbers;but some of its members?have the right to sit in the House of Lords,and some newspapers take surprising interest in their?private life.)The middle class consists chiefly of well-to-do businessmen and professional people of?all kinds.The working class consists chiefly of manual and unskilled workers.
The most obvious difference between them is in their accent.Middle-class people use slightly?varying kinds of"received pronunciation"which is the kind of English spoken by BBC announcers?and taught to overseas pupils.Typical working-class people speak in many different local accents?which are generally felt to be rather ugly and uneducated.One of the biggest barriers of social?equality in England is the two-class education system.To have been to a so-called"public school"immediately marks you out as one of the middle class.The middle classes tend to live a more formal?life than working-class people,and are usually more cultured.Their midday meal is"lunch"and?they have a rather formal evening meal called"dinner",whereas the working man′s dinner,if his?working hours permit,is at midday,and his smaller,late-evening meal is called supper.
As we have said,however,the class system is much less rigid than it was,and for a long time it?has been government policy to reduce class distinctions.Working-class students very commonly?receive a university education and enter the professions,and working-class incomes have grown so?much recently that the distinctions between the two classes are becoming less and less clear.However,regardless of one′s social status,certain standards of politeness are expected of?everybody,and a well-bred person is polite to everyone he meets,and treats a laborer with the same?respect he gives an important businessman.Servility inspires both embarrassment and dislike.Even?the word"sir",except in school and in certain occupations(e.g.commerce,the army,etc.)sounds?too servile to be commonly used.
The most obvious difference between the working class and the middle class in English is?their__________.查看材料A.dress

Key James,Secretary of Health and Human Resources in the Virginia State government,loves to turn the tables on those who don't think it's possible to be middle-class,conservative,educated and still be truly black．Once,during an abortion debate,a woman in the audience angrily told James she was so middle-class she didn't have a clue about real African American life．"If you understood what these women go through,"the woman said,"you would realize that abortion is their only choice."
James then asked the woman to consider a poor black mother on welfare．She already has four children and an alcoholic husband who has all but abandoned the family．Now she discovers another child is on the way．"How would you counsel that woman?"asked James.
"Have an abortion,"the woman responded．"That child would have a very poor quality of life."
"I have a vested interest in your answer,"James said．"The woman I described was my mother．I was the fifth of six children born into poverty．And,in case you're interested,the quality of my life is just fine!"
James'family led a__life when she was born.A.miserable
B.happy
C.well-off

They Say Ireland's the BestIreland is the best place in the world to live in for 2005,according to a life quality ranking that appeared in Britain's Economist magazine last week.The ambitious attempt to compare happiness levels around the world is based on the principle that wealth is not the only measure of human satisfaction and well-being.The index of the countries uses data on incomes,health,unemployment,climate,political stability,job security,gender equality as well as what the magazine calls“freedom,family and community life”.Despite the bad weather,troubled health service,traffic congestion,gender inequality,and the high cost of living,Ireland scored an impressive 8 .33 points out of 10.That put it well ahead of second-place Switzerland,which managed 8 .07 .Zimbabwe,trou-bled by political insecurity and hunger,is rated the gloomiest,picking up only 3 .89 points.“Although rising incomes and increased individual choices are highly valued,”the report said,“some of the factors associated with modernization such as the breakdown in traditional in-stitutions and family values in part take away from a positive impact.”“Ireland wins because it successfully combines the most desirable elements of the new with the preservation of certain warm elements of the old,such as stable family and community life.”The magazine admitted measuring the quality of life is not a straight forward thing to do,and that its findings would have their critics.No. 2 on the list is Switzerland.The other nations in the top 10 are Norway,Luxembourg, Sweden,Australia,Iceland,Italy,Denmark and Spain.The UK is positioned at No.29,a much lower position chiefly because of the social and fam-ily breakdown recorded in official statistics.The US,which has the second highest per capita GDP after Luxembourg,took the 13th place in the survey.China was in the lower half the league at 60th.Family life in Zimbabwe is not stable.A: RightB: WrongC: Not mentioned

This is an embarrassing subject for English people，and one they tend to be ashamed of ，though during the present century class-consciousness has grown less and less，and the class system less rigid.But it still exists below the surface.Broadly speaking，it means there are two classes，the middle class and theworking class. (We shallignore for a moment the old upper class，including the hereditary aristocracy，since it is extremely small in numbers; but some of its members have the right to sit in the House of Lords，and some newspapers take surprising interest in their private life.) The middle class consists chiefly of well-to-do businessmen and prof essional people of all kinds.The working class consists chiefly of manual and unskilled workers.The most obvious difference between them is in their accent.Middle-class people use slightly varying kinds of received pronunciation which is the kind of English spoken by BBC announcers and taught to overseas pupils.Typical working-class people speak in many different local accents which are generally felt to be rather ugly and uneducated.One of the biggest barriers of social equality in England is the two-class education system.To have been to a so-called public school immediately marks you out as one of the middle class.The middle classes tend to live a more formal life than working-class people，and are usually more cultured.Their midday meal islunch and they have a rather formal evening meal calleddinner，whereas the working man's dinner，if his working hours permit，is at midday，and his smaller，late-evening meal is called supper.As we have said，however，the class system is much less rigid than it was，and for a long time it has been government policy to reduce class distinctions.Working-class students very commonly receive a university education and enter the professions，and working-class incomes have grown so much recently that the distinctions between the two classes are becoming less and less clear. However，regardless of one's social status，certain standards of politeness are expected of everybody，and a well-bred person is polite to everyone he meets，and treats a laborer with the same respect he gives an important businessman.Servility inspires both embarrassment and dislike.Even the word sir，except in school and in certain occupations (e.g.commerce，the army，etc.) sounds too servile to be commonly used.The middle class mainly refers to people ____.A
who were born as aristocratB
who have the right to sit in the House of LordsC
who speak in many different local accentsD
who are prosperous businessmen or who work in some professions
