B．Nearly half Americans belong to the middle class.
C．People generally consider bus drivers as the middle class.

7、ition of the middle class.
解析 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章第二段第三句中“...46% the middle class...”可知，B項(xiàng)正確。文中并未說出middle class的清晰定義，所以A、C、D三項(xiàng)的表述都是不恰當(dāng)?shù)摹?
答案 B
2．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
8、
C．people with high status have a lot of control over others
D．class is less important in deciding a person's social rank
解析 推理判斷題。由文章第三段第三句“Power and class do not always go hand in hand，however.”可知，A項(xiàng)正確。A項(xiàng)correspond with意為“與……相符合”；B項(xiàng)status的定義在最后一段第一句；C項(xiàng)從最后一段最后一句可知是錯(cuò)誤的；D項(xiàng)在文中找不到依據(jù)。
答案 A
3．Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?

解析 文章結(jié)構(gòu)題。文章第一段總述三者對(duì)一個(gè)人社會(huì)等級(jí)的影響，然后依次分述class，power和status三個(gè)因素。文章是總分式。故選擇A項(xiàng)。
答案 A
