17、on to their children. But an increasing number of billionaires are choosing not to. The reason? They want their children to live on themselvesand not to turn into spoiled successors. Nicola Horlick or “supermom“, a famous British billionaire, owing to the fact that she has high-flying jobs and five

18、kidshas 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 city, that she will not be leaving most of the remainder to her children

19、. “I think it is wrong to give too much inherited wealth to children,“ Horlick told the report“s 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 first to go public with this convition. Bill Gates has put an estimated $30b

20、n 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 story of finding herself without change for a car parking tickether fat

21、her 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 America“s 2004 Olympic team should be made up only of the children of the 1980 Olympic team.“ Antia Roddick, the late found

22、er of 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 isn“t one of those awful tax shelters, like some in America.

27、t none of the accounts seem to get at the root 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

28、, that is, through behavior that flows from an individual“s 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

29、 poverty most frequently suggested is to help 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 rel

30、ated to powerlessness, not to the absolute supply 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

31、 by other measures, to be ineffective in a wealthy society. In order to reduce povertyrelated 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

32、 interest in the broader society and can more 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

33、ways the preconceptions of institutions and 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 po

34、or. The only initial resource which a community 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

35、poor will then negotiate with the outsiders for resources and opportunities without having to submit to concurrent control from outside.（分数：6.00）(1).By “powerless“ (sentence 2, Para 1), the author most probably means that the poor _.（分数：1.00）A.have no right to make individual decisions and plansB.ca

36、n not exercise control over other groups of peopleC.are not in a condition to change their present situationD.are too weak to resist any social situation imposed on them(2).The author expresses his opinion in the first paragraph that _.（分数：1.00）A.the hopeless condition of the poor is caused by their

37、 powerlessness rather than lack of moneyB.great efforts should be made to help poor to secure more money without changing present power relationshipsC.it is no use raising the incomes of the poor while not improve their state of powerlessnessD.in helping the poor attention should be paid to avoiding

38、 any unnecessary threat to the established centers of power(3).Social action to help the poor should have the characteristics include _.（分数：1.00）A.the poor should see themselves as the source of the actionB.the action should effect in major ways preconceptions of institutionsC.the action should dema

39、nd much in effect or skillD.all of the above(4).According to the author, the primary role of the major community in helping the neighborhoods of poverty is _.（分数：1.00）A.to provide long-term assistance from outsideB.to offer necessary opportunities of securing more moneyC.to carry out more social pro

40、grams in the neighborhoodsD.to lend experienced advice in the formation of democratic self-help organizations(5).What does the word “concurrent“ (Para. 3) most probably mean?（分数：1.00）A.Following.B.Subsequent.C.Previous.D.Simultaneous.(6).The main purpose of the author in writing the passage is _.（分数

41、：1.00）A.to criticize the present methods employed to help the poorB.to analyze the social and psychological aspects of povertyC.to propose a way in which the poor can be more effectively helpedD.to describe the attitude of the community towards the poor十一、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：4.00)Someday a strang

42、er will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the Websites you“ve visited, or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits. In fact, it“s likely some of these things have already happene

43、d to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seenthe 21st century equivalent of being caught naked. Psychologists tell us boundaries are

44、healthy, that it“s important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs (碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple

45、 Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret. The key question is: Does that matter? For many Americans, the answer apparently is “no“. When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about

46、 losing it. A survey found an overwhelming pessimism about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me“. But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their pr

47、ivacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like S

48、ocial Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon (优惠券). But privacy does matterat least sometimes. It“s like health: When you have it you don“t notice it. Only when it“s gone do you wish you“d done more to protect it.（分数：4.00）(1).Why does the author list several cases

49、that your information can be accessed without your permission?（分数：1.00）A.To introduce the topic.B.To remind the importance of privacy.C.To inform what 21st century is like.D.To call for the action against the spread of website.(2).What does the author mean by saying “the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked“?（分数：1.00）A.People“s personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge.B.In the 21st century people try every means to look into others“ secrets.C.People tend to be more frank with each other in the information
