27、coring ANSWER SHEET. 30 The rich have traditionally passed their wealth on to their children. But an increasing number of billionaires are choosing not to. The reason? They want their children to live on themselves and not to turn into spoiled successors. Nicola Horlick or “supermom“, a famous Briti
28、sh billionaire.owing to the fact that she has high-flying jobs and five kids has spent her career making a report 250m. She now seems determined to throw off large parts of it. She already gives away about 25% of her income each year; she has just revealed, in a report on the state of charity in the
29、 city, that she will not be leaving most of the remainder to her children.“ I think it is wrong to give too much inherited wealth to children, “Horlick told the reports authors. “I will not be leaving all my wealth to my children because that would just ruin their lives.“ She is by no means the firs
30、t to go public with this convition. Bill Gates has put an estimated $30bn into the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. This was supplemented, in 2009, by another $24bn or so from his friend Warren Buffett. Buffett has always been colorful, quotably clear on where he stands. His daughter often tells a
31、 story of finding herself without change for a car parking ticket her father lent her $20,then promptly made her write him a check. “To suggest that the children of the wealthy should be just as wealthy,“ he has said, “is like saying the members of Americas 2004 Olympic team should be made up only o
32、f the children of the 1980 Olympic team“. Antia Roddick, the late founder fo the Body Shop, told her kids that they would not inherit one penny. The money that she made from the company would go into the Body Shop Foundation. which isnt one of those awful tax shelters, like some in America. It just
33、functions to take the money and give it away. 31 The billionaires mentioned in the passage dont want to leave much of their wealth to their children because_. （ A） they prefer to give their wealth to charity （ B） they want their business to go on healthily （ C） they believe too much wealth will harm
34、 their children （ D） they hope their children can make more money themselves 32 What do we learn about Nicola Horlick? （ A） She has already given away about 25% of her wealth. （ B） She is the first one who declares to give away her wealth. （ C） She will leave only a small portion of her wealth to he
35、r kids. （ D） She inherited most of her wealth from her parents. 33 Buffett distinguishes himself for_. （ A） his clear-cut position （ B） being strict with his children （ C） his talent in financial management （ D） being a giant in the stock market 34 According to Buffetts daughter, her father_. （ A） r
36、efuses to lend her money （ B） wants her to invest in the Olympic Games （ C） never gives her more money than necessary （ D） always makes sure that she returns his money 35 It is implied in the last paragraph that some foundations are used by the rich to_. （ A） provide shelter for the poor （ B） build
37、good fame （ C） avoid paying tax （ D） support their business 36 The attitude of the writer toward that billionaires dont pass their wealth to their children is_. （ A） negative （ B） positive （ C） objective （ D） casual 36 Much has been written about poverty but none of the accounts seem to get at the r
38、oot of the problem. It must be noted that the debilitating effects of poverty are not only the result of lack of money but are also the result of powerlessness. The poor are subject to their social situation instead of being able to affect it through action, that is, through behavior that flows from
39、 an individuals decisions and plans. In other words, when social scientists have reported on the psychological consequences of poverty, it seems reasonable to believe that they have described the psychological consequences of powerlessness. The solution to poverty most frequently suggested is to hel
40、p the poor secure more money without otherwise changing the present power relationships. This appears to implement the idea of equality while avoiding any unnecessary threat to the established centers of power. But since the consequences of poverty are related to powerlessness, not to the absolute s
41、upply of money available to the poor, and since the amount of power purchasable with a given supply of money decreases as a society acquires a large supply of goods and services, the solution of raising the incomes of the poor is likely, unless accompanied by other measures, to be ineffective in a w
42、ealthy society. In order to reduce poverty related psychological and social problems in the United States, the major community will have to change its relationship to neighborhoods of poverty in such fashion that families in the neighborhoods have a greater interest in the broader society and can mo
43、re successfully participate in the decision-making process of the surrounding community. Social action to help the poor should have the following characteristics: the poor should see themselves as the source of the action; the action should effect in major ways the preconceptions of institutions and
44、 persons who define the poor; the action should demand much in effect or skill; the action should be successful and the successful self-originated important action should increase the feeling of potential worth and individual power of individuals who are poor. The only initial resource which a commu
45、nity should provide to neighborhoods of poverty should be on a temporary basis and should consist of organizers who will enable the neighborhoods quickly to create powerful, independent, democratic organizations of the poor. Through such organizations, the poor will then negotiate with the outsiders
46、 for resources and opportunities without having to submit to concurrent control from outside. 37 By “powerless“ (sentence 2, Para 1), the author most probably means that the poor_. （ A） have no right to make individual decisions and plans （ B） can not exercise control over other groups of people （ C
47、） are not in a condition to change their present situation （ D） are too weak to resist any social situation imposed on them 38 The author expresses his opinion in the first paragraph that_. （ A） the hopeless condition of the poor is caused by their powerlessness rather than lack of money （ B） great
48、efforts should be made to help poor to secure more money without changing present power relationships （ C） it is no use raising the incomes of the poor while not improve their state of powerlessness （ D） in helping the poor attention should be paid to avoiding any unnecessary threat to the establish
49、ed centers of power 39 Social action to help the poor should have the characteristics include_. （ A） the poor should see themselves as the source of the action （ B） the action should effect in major ways preconceptions of institutions （ C） the action should demand much in effect or skill （ D） all of the above 40 According to the author, the primary role of the major community in helping the neighborhoods of poverty is_. （ A） to
