Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 35.
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 behavior 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 a certain type of private school and speak with
the right kind of accent. There are people who are poor but they 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.

A. the interests he had
B. the way he speaks
C. where he was born
D. the clothes he wears
Question 15: 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 an old custom
Question 16: If an Englishman has much money, ______.
A. he belongs to the middle class
B. he may buy an upper class title with the money
C. he must be a member of the upper class D. he is not likely to be from the upper class
Question 17: What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?
A. Many rich people do not belong to the upper class.
B. An Englishman’s social class is determined by many factors.
C. Today many British people do not like the class system.
D. Many poor people do not consider themselves.

Question 18: What would be the best title for the passage?

B. An Unequal Society.
C. British people and Society.
D. Information about Britain.
