Read the passage below. Then choose one best answer (A), (B), (C) or (D) to each question.
British society is considered to be divided into three main groups of classes — the upper class, the middle class, and
the lower or working class. This is known as the class system and it is important to know something about it, if
you mean to understand British people and society. Most British people grow up with a deep knowledge and
understanding of the class system even if they are not very conscious of it. As a result, more people know which
class they belong to and are able to tell which class other people come from by the way they speak, the kind of
clothes they wear, their interests and hobbies or even the type of food they eat.
Social class is not only about behaviour and attitudes. For example, although many upper-class people are rich and
may own a lot of land, having a lot of money does not necessarily make a person one member of the upper class. It
is also important to come from a particular kind of family, have friends who are considered suitable, have been to a
certain type of private school and speak with the right kind of accent. There are people who are poor but do not
think of themselves as working class because their family background, education, political opinions, etc. are
basically different from those of most working-class people. Many people do not like the class system but it is
impossible to pretend that these differences do not exist or that British people do not sometimes form opinions in
this way.
41. According to the passage, you cannot judge an Englishman's social class by ______
A. where he was born B. the way he speaks C. the clothes he wears D. the interests he has
42. The idea of the class system in Britain_________
A. exists only in the mind of foreigners B. is deeply rooted in the British people
C. is now under severe attack D. is regarded as a long custom
43. If an Englishman has much money, ___________
A. he belongs to the middle class B. he must be a member of the upper class
C. he is not likely to be from the upper class D. he may buy an upper-class title with the money
44. What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?
A. Many rich people do not belong to the upper class.
B. Today many British people do not like the class system.
C. Many poor people do not consider themselves.
D. An Englishman's social class is determined by many factors.
45. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. An Unequal Society B. Social Class in Britain
