For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark

24、 your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. Passage One 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 themselvesand not to turn into spoil

25、ed successors. Nicola Horlick or “supermum”, a famous British billionaire, owing to the fact that she has high-flying jobs and five kids has spent her career making a reported 250m.She now seems determined to throw off large parts of it. She already gives away about 25% of her income each year, she

26、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. “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 t

27、hat would just ruin their lives.” She is by no means the first to go public with this conviction. 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,

28、 quotably clear on where he stands. His daughter often tells a 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

29、members of Americas 2004 Olympic team should be made up only of the children of the 1980 Olympic team.” Anita Roddick, the late founder 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 isnt o

30、ne of those awful tax shelters, like some in America. It just 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

31、go on healthily C. they believe too much wealth will harm their children D. they hope their children can make money themselves http:/东北财经大学法律硕士天津教育中心 法硕 QQ群： 107581621 Http:/东北财经大学法律硕士天津教育中心 电话： 022-27056009 23348578 32. What do we learn about Nicola Horlick? A. She has already given away about 25%o

32、f 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 her kids. D.

34、ied in the last paragraph that some foundations are used by the rich to _. A. provide shelter for the poor B. build good fame C. avoid paying tax D. support their business Passage Two It is football time again. Currently, the qualifying rounds are being played to decide which countries will send tea

35、ms to the 2010 World Cup. Some Soccer is becoming more and more popular on a worldwide scale and these qualifying legs are causing much excitement. The game is popular at club level as well. Many fans go every week to support their teams, whether the event is a home or away one, hoping to get a resu

36、lt. They all hope an attacking game, with a lot of goals being scored. Obviously, they do not want to see a boring, defensive match where the players are aimlessly passing the ball to each other. Sadly, not all the action always takes place on the ground. All too frequently, there is action in the s

37、tands, too. Football supporters, most of whom declare their loyalty by wearing their team colors, in the form of shirts, are not known for their quiet behavior. They are often very noisy, shouting noisy encouragement to their team and singing deafening songs. There is much rivalry between supporters

38、. Mostly, this is good-natured, but trouble can easily arise. Fans gets angry if they feel that a referee has made a wrong decision, perhaps giving one of their team a red or yellow card unfairly, or perhaps failing to notice a foul(犯规 ) committed by a member of the other team. When trouble breaks o

39、ut in a football crowd, it can be difficult to control. Stadium officials often seat the opposing fans in separate parts of the ground as a precaution against fighting. However, preventing trouble is more difficult outside the ground. In the worst cases, riot police have to be called in. Unfortunate

40、ly, there are some fans who enjoy this violent aspect of football. These football hooligans(流氓 ) really enjoy a running battle with the police, and call up other people to throw stones and bottles at them. They regard football not as a sport, but as an excuse for trouble makings. Inevitably, their b

41、ehavior spoils the reputation of the game. 36. The qualifying rounds are played to_. http:/东北财经大学法律硕士天津教育中心 法硕 QQ群： 107581621 Http:/东北财经大学法律硕士天津教育中心 电话： 022-27056009 23348578 A. attract soccer fans B. select the best teams for the next rounds C. raise funds for the organization D. decide which playe

42、rs are the best 37. What do football fans hope to see? A. A home game. B. A defensive game. C. An evenly matched game. D. An exciting game. 38. Fans get angry when they think_. A. the referee is unfair B. their team is losing C. their team is not playing well D. there is an intentional foul 39. Riot

43、 police are called in_. A. to separate the opposing fans inside the ground B. as a precaution against trouble inside the ground C. to stop fighting occurring outside the ground D. as a precaution against fighting outside the ground 40. It is implied in the last paragraph that_. A. football fans enjo

44、y spoiling games B. football hooligans are crazy about the games C. football can be an excuse for troublemaking D. football has a poor reputation Passage Three Our sense of smell, which we normally take for granted, is nowadays being increasingly used for purposes which might surprise us if we were

45、aware of them. One area in which smells are created to achieve particular results is marketing. For some time manufacturers have taken advantage of our sense of smell with regard to household goods. Millions of dollars are spent on product research in the hunt for the right smell as it is believed p

46、erfume influences the way consumers perceive a brand. In a survey in the United States, when people were asked what was the most important factor in their choice of detergent(洗衣粉 ), smell was rated highly, above ingredients and price. Now stores are becoming even more direct in the use of smell. The

47、 smell of fresh bread in a supermarket tends to encourage people to buy, and people selling their houses are recommended to have coffee being heated when potential buyers arrive. Suddenly smell is becoming big business. One company specializing in the use of smells to attract consumers now has many

48、large stores on its own list of customers. They find that when pleasant smells are filtered through a stores air conditioning system, people tend to spend longer in the store and buy more. Research shows that smells can increase peoples view of a product. In a test, people looked at the same types of shoes in two rooms-one filled with purified air, the other with a smell of mixed flowers. 84% of the people preferred the
