It's ften said f British peple that they are very aware f each ther's scial rank. Britns can usually wrk ut a fellw cuntryman's backgrund frm the way they speak r dress, and may even treat them differently based n this. But althugh this may have been truer in the past than it is tday, visitrs t Britain say that they still ntice it. The cmic play Pygmalin(1913)，by the Irishman Gerge Bernard Shaw (1856—1950)，is a famus explratin f the imprtance f scial rank in British sciety.
The main stry f the play cncerns a wrking class girl, Eliza Dlittle, a flwer seller frm Lndn. Tw upper class gentlemen try t see if they can get Dlittle t appear like an upper class lady after sending her fr elcutin lessns. Prfessr Henry Higgins，a language expert, says it can be dne; his friend Clnel Pickering says that it's impssible.Even s, Higgins sets ut t teach Eliza hw t “speak prperly”．
Of curse，Eliza isn't a lump f clay; she has her wn will. She can see that it' s in her best interest t g alng with Higgins' plan t “imprve herself”. She wants t be able t sell flwers in a shp rather than n the street. After the training, Eliza prves that a flwer girl can pass herself ff as a lady at a ball. She is a triumph(赢家)，and Higgins has wn his bet.
But what happens next? Eliza has her future t wrry abut. She may be able t fl the upper class int thinking she's ne f them, but she isn't really ne f them.
Shaw seems t be telling us that scial rank is abut mre than the way smene talks—it's abut wealth and privilege.The whle experiment prves the idea that accents and classes are very superficial(肤浅的). The ways ne speaks and dresses are nly markers f class. The class system itself, hwever, is smething cmpletely different.
5．What can we learn abut speaking and dressing frm Paragraph 1?
A．They determine Britns' scial rank.
B．Britns are stricter in them nwadays.
C．Britns n lnger care abut them.
D．They culd affect thers' pinin f a persn.
6．Which can replace the underlined wrd “elcutin”？
A．Dress. B．Manners.
C．Speech.D．Dance.
7．What happens t Eliza Dlittle during the experiment?
A．She is frced t give up selling flwers n the street.
B．She is unwilling t participate in the experiment.
C．She is thught f as an upper­class lady at the hall.
D．She is hpeful abut her future.
8．Which f the fllwing wuld Shaw prbably agree with?
A．One can enter the upper class after receiving training.
B．Peple shuld try their best t imprve their accents.
C．The way peple speak greatly affects their scial status.
D．Scial rank can't be judged by dressing r speaking.
【语篇解读】 作者通过《皮格马利翁》这部戏剧阐述了社会地位不仅仅是人们谈话的方式。也就是说不能通过穿衣或说话来判断一个人的社会地位。
5．D [推理判断题。根据第一段中“Britns can usually wrk ut a fellw cuntryman's backgrund frm the way they speak r dress，and may even treat them differently based n this.”可知讲话和穿衣会影响别人对一个人的看法。故选D。]

8．D [推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“Shaw seems t be telling us that scial rank is abut mre than the way smene talks—it's abut wealth and privilege.”可知Shaw似乎在告诉我们社会地位不仅仅是人们谈话的方式，还涉及财富和特权。也就是说不能通过穿衣或说话来判断一个人的社会地位。故选D。]
