wasn't very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn't catch anything.I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why.He always answered,"Son,if you want to catch a fish,you have to think like a fish",I remember being even more upset then because,"I'm not a fish!"I didn't know how to think like a fish.Besides,I reasoned,how could what I think influence what a fish does?As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant.So,I read some books on fish.And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings.I learned that a fish is a cold﹣blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature.That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer.Besides,water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade.Yet,fish don't have any eyelids(眼皮)and the sun huts their eyes…The more I understood fish,the more I became effective at finding and catching them..When I grew up and entered the business world,I remember hearing my first boss say,"We all need to think like sales people."But it didn't completely make sense.My dad never once said,"If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman."What he said was,"You need to think like a fish."Years later,with great efforts to promote long﹣term services to people much older and richer than me,I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers.It is not an easy job.I will show you how in the following chapters.31.Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?A.He could not catch a fish.B.His father was not patient with him.C.His father did not teach him fishing.D.He could not influence a fish as his father did.32.What did the author's father really mean?A.To read about fish.B.To learn fishing by oneself.C.To understand what fish think.D.To study fishing in many ways.33.According to the author,fish are most likely to be found.A.in deep water on sunny daysB.in deep water on cloudy daysC.in shallow water under sunlightD.in shallow water under waterside trees.34.After entering the business world,the author found.A.it easy to think like a customerB.his father's fishing advice inspiringC.his first boss's sales ideas reasonableD.it difficult to sell services to poor people35.This passage most likely comes from.A.a fishing guideB.a popular sales bookC.a novel on childhoodD.a millionaire's biography.36.(10分)Daniel Anderson,a famous psychologist,believes it's important to distinguish television's influences on children from those of the family.We tend to blame TV,he says,for problems it doesn't really cause,overlooking our own roles in shaping children's minds.One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child's ability to think and to understand the world.While watching TV,children do not merely absorb wordsand images (影像).Instead,they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see.Actually,children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows.Furthermore,as many teachers agree,children understand far more when parents watch TV with them,explaining new words and ideas.Yet,most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment.But according to Anderson,the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability.TV doesn't take the place of reading for most children;it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation,such as listening to the radio and playing sports.Things like parents'educational background have a stronger influence on a child's reading."A child's reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads."Anderson says.Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television﹣watching lowers IQ (智商)scores and affects school performance.But here,too,Anderson notes that no studies have proved it.In fact,research suggests that it's the other way around."If you're smart young,you'll watch less TV when you're older,"Anderson says.Yet,people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children.However,by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed,Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.36.By watching TV,children learn.A.images through wordsB.more than explicit meaningsC.more about images than wordsD.little about people's psychology37.An educational program is best watched by a child.A.on his ownB.with other kidsC.with his parentsD.with his teachers38.Which of the following is most related to children's reading ability?A.Radio﹣listeningB.Television﹣watchingC.Parents'reading listD.Parents'educational background39.Anderson believed that.A.the more a child watches TV,the smarter he isB.the younger a child is,the more he watches TVC.the smarter a child is,the less likely he gets addicted to TVD.the less a child watches TV,the better he performs at school40.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To advise on the educational use of TV.B.To describe TV's harmful effects on children.C.To explain traditional views on TV influences.D.To present Anderson's unconventional ideas.41.(10分)It was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction.Each class had unique characteristics.In recent years,many writers have begun to speak the'decline of class'and'classless society'in Britain.And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.But pronouncing the death of class is too early.A recent wide﹣ranging society of public opinion found 90percent of people still placing themselves in particular class;73percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society;and 52percent thought there were still sharp class differences.Thus,class may not be culturally and politically obvious,yet it remains an important part of British society.Britain seemsto have a love ofstratification.One unchanging aspect of a British person's class position is accent.The words a person speaks tell her or his class.A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice,Most people said this accent sounded'educated'and'soft'.The accents placed at the bottom in this study,on the other hand,were regional(地区的)city accents.These accents were seen as'common'and'ugly'.However,a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least.This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.In recent years,however,young upper middle﹣class people in London,have begun to adopt some regional accents,in order to hide their class origins.This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed.However,the 1995pop song'Common People'puts forward the view that though a middle﹣class person may'want to live like common people'they can never appreciate the reality of a working﹣class life.41.A recent study of public opinion shows that in modern Britain.A.it is time to end class distinctionB.most people belong to middle classC.it is easy to recognize a person's classD.people regard themselves socially different42.The word stratification in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to.A.varietyB.most people belong to middle classC.authorityD.qualification43.The study in the US showed that BBC English was regarded as.A.regionalB.educatedC.prejudicedD.unattractive44.British attitudes towards accent.A.have a long traditionB.are based on regional statusC.are shared by the AmericansD.have changed in recent years45.What is the main idea of the passage?A.The middle class is expandingB.A person's accent reflects his classC.Class is a key part of British societyD.Each class has unique characteristics.第二节信息匹配(共1小题;每小题10分,满分10分)请阅读下列应用文及相关信息,并按照要求匹配信息.46.(10分)首先阅读下列活动介绍:请根据以下人物介绍选择他们可能参加的活动:46.Edward Leonardo Norton,connoisseur of Chinese and Japanese antiques.He has a strong

in the woods with his wife and children.He owned (16)a farm,which looked almost abandoned.(17)Luckily(lucky),he also had a cow which produced milk every day.He sold or exchanged some of the milk in

考查冠词.句意为:他拥有一个农场,这个农场看起来都快废弃了.a 是不定冠词,表示泛指一个…,修饰可数名词单数.根据文意可知,Johnson 先生和家人住在树林里,他拥有一个农场.故填a.17 Luckily 考查副词.幸运的是,他还有一头奶牛,每天都能产奶.luckily副词,幸运的是.根据文意可知,Johnson先生的农场很破旧,都快要废弃了.但是还有奶牛每天都产奶,能让他维持生存,所以这是一件幸运的事.所以填Luckily.18 for 考查介词搭配.根据上下文可知:他去附近的镇里卖牛奶,或是用牛奶来换其他的食物.本句话中exchange 的意思是"交换",根据句意可知,Johnson 先生用牛奶来换其他的食物.这里是用短语exchange…for…,故填介词for.19 was left 考查时态语态.他去附近的镇里卖牛奶,或是用牛奶来换其他的食物,用剩下的牛奶制作奶酪和黄油.leave离开;剩下,留下.根据文意可知,Johnson先生一家靠农场里的奶牛产奶来生活.除去卖掉的和换其他食物的牛奶,剩下的他就用来制作奶酪和黄油.这里what was left是一个宾语从句,根据句意可知用被动语态.20 when 考查连词.句意:一天,奶牛正在吃草,这时突然开始下起大雨.when 是并列连词,意思是正在这时.这句话使用的句型是be doing sth.when…,正在做某事这时….21 fell 考查动词时态.在慌忙逃跑的时候,奶牛摔下了山死了.fall摔倒,掉下来,根据文意可知,这篇短文使用的是一般过去时态,故这里填过去式fell.22 without 考查介词.奶牛死了,Johnson先生不得不继续生活.with和…一起.根据文意可知,牛奶在慌忙躲雨的时候,不小心摔死了,因此Johnson先生就不得不没有了奶牛来生活.故填without.23 to sell 考查非谓语动词.句意为:因为这些药草和蔬菜需要花费时间来生长,Johnson先生就开始砍树来卖木头.sell卖,销售.根据文意可知,Johnson先生一边种植药草和蔬菜,一边砍树去卖掉木柴.这里用动词不定式形式在句中做目的状语.24 where 考查关系副词.丰收的时候,他已经在人们定期赶集的市场上去卖药草、蔬菜和棉花了.where 在这里引导的是一个定语从句,修饰先行词the market,从句中不缺主语、宾语和表语,所以用关系副词where.25 him 考查人称代词.现在看来好像他的农场是非常有潜能的,奶牛的死也似乎给他带来了好运气.It occurred to sb.that…某人突然发现…,这是一个固定的句型,因为这篇短文讲述的是Johnson先生,故填him.阅读(共两节,25题,满分40分)第一节阅读理解(共4小题;每小题10分,满分40分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项.26.(10分)(2015•广东)Peter loved to shop used articles.Almost a month ago,he

As he was purchasing it, the salesgirl said, “Uh, look, the game box haven’t even been opened yet. That might be worth some money. ”Peter examined the box, and, sure enough, it was completely covered in factory-sealed plastic. And he saw a date of 1973 on the back of the box.“You should put that up for auction (拍卖) on the Internet, and see what happens.”the salesgirl said.“Yes, you’re right.

But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty up set and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish”, I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun huts their eyes…The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them..When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like sales people.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.31. Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?A. He could not catch a fish.B. His father was not patient with him.C. His father did not teach him fishing.D. He could not influence a fish as his father did.32. What did the author’s father really mean?A. To read about fish.B. To learn fishing by oneself.C. To understand what fish think.D. To study fishing in many ways.33. According to the author, fish are most likely to be found _________.A. in deep water on sunny daysB. in deep water on cloudy daysC. in shallow water under sunlightD. in shallow water under waterside trees.34. After entering the business world, the author found _________.A. it easy to think like a customerB. his father’s fishing advice inspiringC. his first boss’s sales ideas reasonableD. it difficult to sell services to poor people35. This passage most likely comes from _________.A. a fishing guideB. a popular sales bookC. a novel on childhoodD. a millionaire’s biographyCDaniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes it’s important to distinguish television’s influences on children from those of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn’t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children’s minds.One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child’s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images (影像). Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn’t take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents’ educational background have a stronger influence on a child’s reading. “A child’s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads.” Anderson says.Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it’s the other way around. “If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV when you’re older,” Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.36. By watching TV, children learn _________.A. images through wordsB. more than explicit meaningsC. more about images than wordsD. little about people’s psychology37. An educational program is best watched by a child _________.A. on his ownB. with other kidsC. with his parentsD. with his teachers38. Which of the following is most related to children’s readin g ability?A. Radio-listeningB. Television-watchingC. Parents’ reading listD. Parents’ educational background39. Anderson believed that _________.A. the more a child watches TV, the smarter he isB. the younger a child is, the more he watches TVC. the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TVD. the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school40. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To advise on the educational use of TV.B. To describe TV’s harmful effects on chi ldren.C. To explain traditional views on TV influences.D. To present Anderson’s unconventional ideas.DIt was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had unique characteristics.In recent years, many writers have begun to speak the 'decline of class' and 'classless society' in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an important part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratification.One unchanging aspect of a British person's class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice, Most people said this accent sounded 'educated' and 'soft'. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional(地区的)city accents. These accents were seen as 'common' and 'ugly'. However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.In recent years, however, young upper middle-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song 'Common People' puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may 'want to live like common people' they can never appreciate the reality of a working-class life.41.

Something rare is worth a large amount of money.99BWhen I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t0001very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually02got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answ ered, “Son, if you want to catch afish, you have to think like a fish”, I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m0304not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what05I think influence what a fish does?06As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some07books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly08meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive towater temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is 0910warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t11have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun huts their eyes… The more I understood fish, the more Ibecame effective at finding and catching them..1213When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We14all need to think like sales people.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never on ce15said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was,16“You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services17to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more18like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.1931. Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?20 His father was not patient with him.A. He could not catch a fish.B.21C. His father did not teach him fishing.D. He could not influence a fish as his father22did.2332. What did the author’s father really mean?24A. To read about fish.B. To learn fishing by oneself.25C. To understand what fish think.D. To study fishing in many ways.2633. According to the author, fish are most likely to be found _________.27A. in deep water on sunny daysB. in deep water on cloudy days28C. in shallow water under sunlightD. in shallow water under waterside trees.34. After entering the business world, the author found _________.2930A. it easy to think like a customerB. his father’s fishing advice inspiring31C. his first boss’s sales ideas reasonableD. it difficult to sell services to poor people3235. This passage most likely comes from _________.33A. a fishing guideB. a popular sales book34C. a novel on childhoodD. a millionaire’s biographyC3536Daniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes it’s important to distinguish 37televisio n’s influences on children from those of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn’t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children’s minds.3839One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child’s ability to think 40and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images (影像). Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually,4142 characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as manychildren learn early the psychology ofwords and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids4445in front of the set and do something in another room.46Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment.47But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to48reading ability. TV doesn’t take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place49of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things likeparents’ educational background have a stronger influence on a child’s reading. “A child’s5051reading ability is best predicted by how much a p arent reads.” Anderson says.52Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores andaffects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In5354fact, research suggests that it’s the other way around. “If you’re smart young, you’ll55watch less TV when you’re older,” Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong56television viewers.57For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children.58However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionallybelieved, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other 5960influences.6136. By watching TV, children learn _________.62A. images through wordsB. more than explicit meanings63C. more about images than wordsD. little about people’s psychology6437. An educational program is best watched by a child _________.65A. on his ownB. with other kidsC. with his parentsD. with his teachers6638. Which of the following is most related to children’s reading ability?67 B. Television-watchingA. Radio-listeningC. Parents’ reading listD. Parents’ educational background686939. Anderson believed that _________.70A. the more a child watches TV, the smarter he isB. the younger a child is, the more he watches TV7172C. the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TV73D. the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school7440. What is the main purpose of the passage?75A. To advise on the educational use of TV.B. To describe TV’s harmful effects76on children.C. To explain traditional views on TV influences.D. To present Anderson’s7778unconventional ideas.79DIt was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had8081unique characteristics.82In recent years, many writers have begun to speak the 'decline of class' and 'classless83society' in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle84class.85But pronouncing the death of class is too early.

It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.31. Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?A. He could not catch a fish.B. His father was not patient with him.C. His father did not teach him fishing.D. He could not influence a fish as his father did.32. What did the author’s father really mean?A. To read about fish.B. To learn fishing by oneself.C. To understand what fish think.D. To study fishing in many ways.33. According to the author, fish are most likely to be found _________.A. in deep water on sunny daysB. in deep water on cloudy daysC. in shallow water under sunlightD. in shallow water under waterside trees.34. After entering the business world, the author found _________.A. it easy to think like a customerB. his father’s fishing advice inspiringC. his first boss’s sales ideas reasonableD. it difficult to sell services to poor people35. This passage most likely comes from _________.A. a fishing guideB. a popular sales bookC. a novel on childhoodD. a millionaire’s biographyCDaniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes it’s important to distinguish television’s influences on children from those of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn’t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children’s minds.One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child’s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images (影像). Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn’t take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sp orts. Things like parents’ educational background have a stronger influence on a child’s reading. “A child’s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads.” Anderson says.Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it’s the other way around. “If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV when you’re older,” Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.36. By watching TV, children learn _________.A. images through wordsB. more than explicit meaningsC. more about images than wordsD. little about people’s psychology37. An educational program is best watched by a child _________.A. on his ownB. with other kidsC. with his parentsD. with his teachers38. Which of the following is most related to children’s reading ability?A. Radio-listeningB. Television-watchingC. Parents’ reading listD. Parents’ educational background39. Anderson believed that _________.A. the more a child watches TV, the smarter he isB. the younger a child is, the more he watches TVC. the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TVD. the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school40. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To advise on the educational use of TV.B. To describe TV’s harmful effects on children.C. To explain traditional views on TV influences.D. To present Anderson’s unconventional ideas.DIt was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had unique characteristics.In recent years, many writers have begun to speak the 'decline of class' and 'classless society' in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an important part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratification.One unchanging aspect of a British person's class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice, Most people said this accent sounded 'educated' and 'soft'. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional(地区的)city accents. These accents were seen as 'common' and 'ugly'. However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.In recent years, however, young upper middle-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song 'Common People' puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may 'want to live like common people' they can never appreciate the reality of a working-class life.41. A recent study of public opinion shows that in modern Britain ________.A. it is time to end class distinctionB. most people belong to middle classC. it is easy to recognize a person’s classD. people regard themselves socially different42. The word stratification in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.A. varietyB. most people belong to middle classC. authorityD. qualification43. The study in the US showed that BBC English was regarded as _________.A. regionalB. educatedC. prejudicedD. unattractive44. British attitudes towards accent _________.A. have a long traditionB. are based on regional statusC. are shared by the AmericansD. have changed in recent years45. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The middle class is expandingB. A person’s accent reflects his classC. Class is a key part of British societyD.
