题目是25. According to the passage, Pessen indicates that
   all of the following weretrue of the very wealthy
   in the United States between 1825 and 1850
   EXCEPT:
    (A) They formed a distinctupper class.
    (B) Many of them were ableto increase their holdings.
    (C) Some of them worked asprofessionals or in business.
    (D) Most of themaccumulated their own fortunes.
    (E) Many of them retained their wealth inspite offinancial upheavals.


答案是D，错在own，但个人觉得B选项似乎也有点问题


原文是


  Tocqueville, apparently, waswrong.Jacksonian
America was not a fluid, egalitarian society where
individual wealth and poverty were ephemeral condi-
tions. At least to argues E. Pessen in his iconoclastic
study of the very rich in the United States between
1825 and 1850.
  Pessen does present aquantity of examples,
together with some refreshingly intelligible statistics,
to establish the existence of an inordinately wealthy
class. Though active in commerce or the professions,
most of the wealthy were not self-made, but had in-
herited family fortunes. In no sense mercurial, these
great fortunes survived the financial panics that de-
stroyed lesser ones. Indeed, in several cities the
wealthiest one percent constantly increased its share
until by 1850 it owned half of the community’s wealth.
Although these observations are true, Pessen over-
estimates their importance by concluding from them
that the undoubted progress toward inequality in the
late eighteenth century continued in the Jacksonian
period and that the United States was a class-ridden,
plutocratic society even before industrialization.



关于B选项文中的定位是红色字体部分，但是选项中说的是many of them，而文中则说的是the wealthiest one percent，最富有的1%的人并不是many of them啊~各位觉得呢？

原文中的the wealthiest one percent （金字塔顶端那1%的人）对应题干的 the very wealthy。并不是1%和many of them对应
