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 assets to their children”The majority of the 457 people surveyed are selfmade，firstgeneration rich.Fiftytwo percent of parents have chosen not to tell their children just how wealthy they are，and 15 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】

dont believe they have any，and worry over the ups and downs of relationships.Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do，in truth，though，no boy is an island；boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers.Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships，most boys consider their friends a very important part of their lives，and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are.A recent study of 10to15yearold boys and girls found that girlsfriendships are actually more fragile.Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys，and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship.Boys are the living definition of the phrase “peer group”；they love games with rules，competition，and doing things together.Boys seem to enjoy，even need the opportunity to test themselves against others，and many lasting friendships begin in karate (空手道) class or on the basketball court.Competence and skill are widely respected；being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can haunt (萦绕心头) a boy for years.As boys mature，the friendship becomes even more important，and it frequently widens to include girls.During the teen years，friends can become the most important part of a boys lifeand a part in which his parents are not included.The confusion of being a teenager leads boys to form close bonds with friends.There is the sense for many boys that a friend is someone who is “always there for me”，someone he can trust.They may be partners in crime or partners in study，but the friendship of adolescent boys can run surprisingly deep.26The common belief of adults is that boys _.Adont care about others as much as girlsBdont value friendships as much as girlsChave the same friendship as girls Dhave healthier friendship than girls27According to the passage，_.Aboys usually build friendships by playing competitive games Bboys like to have small groups of friends Cboysfriendships seldom result in anyone being hurt Dboysfriendships can hardly end in failure28The author mentions the study in Para.2 to prove _.Agirls value relationships more than boysBmost boys consider their friends very importantCboys may be better at keeping friendships than girlsDboys may be more active in a friendship29As a boy gets older，he tends to _.Awiden his circle of friends to include his parentsBshift his focus from his friends to himself Cleave his parents out of his friendsDbe confused about what a friendship is 30Whats the best title of the passage?AFriendships Between Boys and GirlsBBoys and Their FriendshipCChildhood and Adolescent FriendshipDTips on Making Friends with Boys26B细节理解题。根据第一段“Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do.”可知答案为B。27A推理判断题。根据第三段“Boys seem to enjoy，even need the opportunity to test themselves against others，and many lasting friendships begin in karate class or on the basketball court.”可推知答案为A。28C推理判断题。该研究显示“girlsfriendships are actually more fragile”，并解释了其原因，由此可推知男孩比女孩更注意对友谊的维护。29C细节理解题。根据最后一段“a part in which his parents are not included”可知答案为C。30B主旨大意题。本文说明了男孩怎样重视友谊，并分析了男孩间的友谊，因此B为正确答案。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。【2013届广东省六校第二次联考】The flag, the most common symbol of a nation in the modern world, is also one of the most ancient. With a clear symbolic meaning, the flag in the traditional form is still used today to mark buildings, ships and other vehicles related to a country.The national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive artifact. It is, rather, the product of thousands of years development. Historians believe that it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier served to show wind direction.Early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. Often strong winds would tear roofs from houses or cause high waves that endangered travelers. Peoples food supplies were similarly vulnerable. Even after they had learned how to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. Therefore they feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from another.Using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods, such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire. The connection of the flag with heavenly power was therefore reasonable. Early human societies began to fix long pieces of cloth to the tops of totems (图腾) before carrying them into battle. They believed that the power of the wind would be added to the good wishes of the gods and ancestors represented by the totems themselves.These flags developed very slowly into modern flags. The first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked. The king of China around 1000 B.C. was known to have a white flag carried ahead of him. This practice might have been learned from Egyptians even further in the past, but it was from China that it spread over trade routes through India, then across Arab lands, and finally to Europe, where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag.41. The best title for the passage would be “_”.A. Development of the National FlagB. Power of the National FlagC. Types of FlagsD. Uses of Flags【答案】A【解析】标题归纳题。“It is, rather, the product of thousands of years development.”说明国旗是几千年发展的产物。而且整片文章从旗帜最初用于表示风向，一直讲到它演变为现代的旗帜。所以本文说的是国旗的发展。故选A。42. The underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 means _.A. impossible to make sure ofB. likely to be protectedC. easy to be damagedD. difficult to find【答案】C【解析】词义猜测题。本段第一句“Early human beings used very fragile houses and boats.”说早期人类使用非常易坏的的房屋和船只。而本句 “Peoples food supplies were similarly vulnerable.” 中“similarly”意为“同样地”，所以vulnerable”也表示“易损坏”。故选C。43. The earliest flags were connected with heavenly power because _.A. they could tell direction B. they could bring good luck to ancient fightersC. they were handed down by the ancestorsD. they were believed to stand for natural forces【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。本段第一句“Using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable than earlier methods,”“用一块布系到标杆顶部来判断风向比早期的办法更可靠。”因此，最早的旗帜与天的力量有关。故选D。44. What does the author know of the first national flag?A. He knows when it was sent to Europe.B. He believes it was made in Egypt.C. He thinks it came from China.D. He doubts where it started.【答案】D【解析】细节理解题。最后一段“The first known flag of a nation or a ruler was unmarked.。”说明第一个国家的旗帜未被标明，所以作者不知道第一面国旗是从哪儿诞生的。45. What will the author most probably talk about next?A. The role of China in the spread of the national flag.B. The second ancestor of the national flag.C. The use of modern flags in Europe.D. The importance of modern flags.【答案】B【解析】推理判断题。结尾处“This practice might have been learned from Egyptians even further in the past, but it was from China that it spread over trade routes through India, then across Arab lands, and finally to Europe, where it met up with the other ancestor of the national flag.”说明中国国王树立旗帜的做法遍及到了贸易行路，通过印度，穿过阿拉伯大陆，最终到达欧洲。在那与另一个国旗的原型结合。所以，接下来最可能讨论的是过国旗的第二个始祖。故选B。【广东省2012届高三考前冲刺卷(五)】 BChildren start out as natural scientists，eager to look into the world around them.Helping them enjoy science can be easy；theres no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment.You only have to share your childrens curiosity.Firstly，listen to their questions.I once visited a classroom of sevenyearolds to talk about science as a job.The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling，salary and whether I liked my job.When I finished answering，we sat facing one another in silence.Finally I said，“Now that were finished with your lists，do you have questions of your own about science？”After a long pause，a boy raised his hand，“Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚱蜢)eat? When I try eating leaves like that，I get a stomachache.Why？”This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.Secondly，give them time to think.Studies over the past 30 years have shown that，after asking a question，adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer，no time for a child to think.When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more，children give more logical，complete and creative answers.Thirdly，watch your language.Once you have a child involved in a science discussion，dont jump in with “Thats right” or “Very good”These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior.But in talking about science，quick praise can signal that discussion is over.Instead，keep things going by saying “Thats interesting” or “Id never thought of it in that way before”，or coming up with more questions or ideas.Never push a child to “think”It doesnt make sense.Children are always thinking，without your telling them to.Whats more，this can turn a conversation into a performance.The child will try to find the answer you want，in as few words as possible，so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement.Lastly，show；dont tell.Reallife impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program.Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass(放大镜)，and theyll understand why you want them to wash before dinner.Rather than saying that water evaporates(蒸发)，put a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.31According to the passage，children are natural scientists，and to raise their interest，the most important thing for adults to do is _.Ato let them see the world aroundBto share the childrens curiosityCto explain difficult phrases about scienceDto supply the c
