　　(2016·东北三校第一次联考)

　　When Taylor Swift first came to the attention of the public，she was a 17-year-old newcomer who loved singing to her guitar.She seemed far more enthusiastic than skillful.

　　Four years later，Swift became a multi-award winner.This month，she was crowned “Woman of the Year” by Billboard magazine，the youngest singer-song-writer ever to receive the honor.“Aged only 21，Taylor has already made a maior impact on music and has been an unbelievable role model for hopeful artists and young women everywhere，” said Bill Werde，Billboard’s director.

　　Werde’s_words_do_not_come_from_nowhere. Unlike many pop singers，especially those who do not write their own material，Swift has the power of turning her ideas into lyrics that will set people thinking.“Hidden beneath Taylor Swift’s not-a-girl，not-yet-a-woman sweetness is a very skillful songwriting technique，” wrote Leah Greenblatt in an American magazine.

　　Songwriting，as Swift explains，is to cope with issues.“I tend to write about things that really impact me most.” There certainly seems to be something true and honest running through every one of the 14 songs on her album，Speak Now，about “the lessons and confusion and heartbreak and all the different things that go along with being 18,19 and 20.”

　　“For the audience too young to have experienced real passion or heartbreak，Swift’s songs are like a potential road map，promising things will work out OK，” commented Dorian ynskey in a British newspaper.

　　Now Swift is getting ready to go further and has so far written about 10 songs for her 2012 album，which is about feelings of growing up and becoming an adult.“They’re sad，if I’m being honest.”“They’re about my heartbreaks and my moving on.But more importantly，they are about achieving contentment.You’re not always going to be perfectly happy as you grow up.”

　　1．What does the writer mean by saying “Werde’s words do not come from nowhere”？

　　A．Swift stands out as a singer and songwriter.

　　B．Only Swift writes her own songs.

　　C．Swift begins to take interest in singing.

　　D．Swift decides to deal with problems in her new album.

　　2．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

　　A．Swift has the ability to write songs with deeper meanings.

　　B．Swift is both enthusiastic and skillful now.

　　C．Swift became a multi-award winner when she began to sing on the stage.

　　D．Swift’s album Speak Now has 14 songs.

　　3．Taylor Swift’s 2012 album mainly records________.

　　A．dream and reality B．heartbreak and despair

　　C．pain and growth D．problems and society

　　4．What is the best title for the passage?

　　A．Swift comes to people’s attention

　　B．Swift rises to fame

　　C．Swift wins many awards

　　D．Swift experiences real passion

　　B

　　(2016·西安市第一次质量检测)

　　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.”

　　5．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

　　6．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

　　7．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

　　8．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
