survey，published by the bank of america, studied the rich with $3 million or more in assets.it found that “surprisingly few of those surveyed have welldeveloped plans to preserve and pass on their

percent have given away nothing about the family wealth.one in three parents said they had never thought to do it. they are worried that their children would become lazy，spend money freely，make bad decisions and even become a target for gold diggers.only 34 percent strongly agreed that their children would be able to handle any inheritance(遗产)they plan to leave them.“there is an expectation about the wealthy parents that they have a responsibility to pass down their fortune to the next generation，”said sallie krawcheck，president of the global wealth and investment management of the bank of america.“our research，however，uncovered changing views of what one generation owes the next.”the trend is led by the worlds richest man bill gates，who promised in 2008 that he would leave his $58 billion fortune to the charity started by him and his wife，the bill and melinda gates foundation(基金会)，and not to his children.“we want to give it back to society in the way that it will have the most positive impact，”he said.of his plans for his children，gates said：“i will give the kids some money but not a meaningful percentage.they will need to work but they will feel reasonably taken care of.”【语篇解读】 调查表明，大部分美国富人不愿向孩子炫富，甚至不打算将丰厚的资产传给后代。1we can learn from the passage that _.arich parents may not know how to manage their inheritancebrich parents dont equal rich kids，at least in the

time to say a simple “hello”. after considering this phenomenon, i decided i was going to _36_ the way i was doing things.my _37_ came one morning when i was in the community library. i passed by a girl who _38_ her books out of her locker. thinking like most that someone else would help her pick them up, i continued my way. however, when i had to _39_ because i stupidly forgot my book, i noticed she had just finished packing them up by herself. no one had stopped to _40_ her. “ok，” i thought to myself, “this is where i should have changed.”my best opportunity came a few days later when i saw a man _41_ by himself waiting for the library to open, so i sat down next to him and began a _42_. it was difficult to get started, and even when i had to say goodbye, almost every _43_ from my new friend had a tone (语气) of doubt in it.and who could blame him?people arent used to making an _44_ chat with a stranger. but a change, no matter how _45_ it is needed, doesnt just happen. it takes people like us to make it possible. i _46_ you to take a small step out of your comfort zone and try to make someones day a little brighter. together, we can really make society come _47_ as

a考查动词。根据文义，作者在思考了社区内人与人之间距离逐渐疏远这一现象后，决定改变之前的行为。值得注意的是，后文即对作者的行为进行描述，第三段的最后一词即为change，符合前后对应原则。【解析】37. d考查名词。句意：一天早上，当我在社区图书馆的时候，我的出现了。可以通过理解得出答案，但也可以简单地按照完形名词解题法寻找重复，第四段第三个词即为答案。【解析】38. b考查动词。对应后文pick up，可知小女孩之前是书掉落，选dropped。【解析】39. c考查短语。根据文义，作者后来发现没人帮助小女孩，说明作者必定重新返回原来的地方。【解析】40. c考查动词。前文someone else和后文的no one对应，所以动作也应该对应，所以选help。【解析】41. a考查动词。后文so是解题点，说明作者的动作也和一位男士的动作一致，故选sitting。【解析】42. d考查名词。寻找重复后发现，第44题后面一个词chat即为本题答案，因此选chat的同义词conversation。【解析】43. b考查名词。句意：我的新朋友的每个中都显示出怀疑的语气。joke，cry和story在文中均未提及，直接排除，选response。【解析】44. b考查形容词。此题考查文章归纳总结能力。文章说：对于一个陌生人，人们并不习惯于进行的交谈。此句是由前文作者对于陌生人的反应而总结出来的。前文作者对陌生人的交谈很不顺利，如何开始、如何结束都显得十分困难，因此本题应选择与“困难”相近的词。纵观备选项，unprepared(未准备好的，即兴的)较符合文义。【解析】45. a考查副词。句意：和陌生人交谈的方式的改变无论是的需要，它都不会发生。此题单纯从文义理解比较困难，建议用排除法。frequently, simply, widely这3个选项均不是文章讨论的内容，可以排除，剩下答案desperately(十分，非常地)修饰这种需要的迫切程度。 【解析】46. d考查动词。最后一段作者针对与陌生人疏远这种情况，建议人们努力改善，答案则容易得出。【解析】47. c对应第一段的apart，此处应选择相对应的反义词closer。阅读理解。 going on a road trip? the st. louis arch, statue of liberty and golden gate bridge are great tourist sites. but if you prefer offbeat destinations(目的地), check out
