II. 阅读理解
A
More than half of rich Americans have not shown their full wealth to their children，a new survey showed last Tuesday.
The 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 well-developed plans to preserve and pass on their assets to their children”．
The majority of the 457 people surveyed are self-made，first-generation rich.Fifty-two 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 world’s 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 Malinda 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.”
1．We can learn from the passage that________.
A．rich parents may not know how to manage their inheritance
B．rich parents don’t equal rich kids，at least in the US
C．American children don’t get to inherit their parents’ wealth
D．poor children don’t expect themselves to be as rich as their parents
2．According to the survey，most rich Americans________.
A．think they owe their children nothing
B．think it best to give their money back to society
C．doubt their children’s ability to handle wealth
D．are confident of their children’s ability to handle wealth
3．The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 6 refers to________.
A．responsible children B．Bill Gates and his wife
C．first-generation rich D．rich parents
4．From the last paragraph，we can see that Bill Gates wants to show________.
A．the trend of leaving no inheritance to children
B．the positive impact of charity on society
C．the way of giving back to society
D．the importance of independence for children
【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。

2．C[推理判断题。

根据第四段内容可推知，大部分美国富人怀疑他们的孩子处理财富的能力。

]
3．D[猜测词义题。

人们期望富裕的父母把他们的财富传给下一代，此处they指代的是画线词前面的“the wealthy parents”，即“rich parents”。

]
4．D[推理判断题。

根据本段中比尔·盖茨所说的话可推知，他更强调孩子的个人奋斗，认为培养孩子的自立很重要。

Cigarette smoking is the most important preventable cause of death
in the United States.It accounts_for more than 440，000 of the more than
2.4 million annual deaths.Cigarette smokers have a higher risk of
developing several chronic disorders.These include fatty buildups in
