Question

20．Many of us assume that the child of one of the richest men on earth must enjoy endless privilege．But 52-year-old Peter Buffett，a son of billionaire investor Warren，doesn't think so．
"People who are born with a silver spoon in their mouth can fall victim to what my father has called a silver dagger （匕首） in your back，"?Buffett told Reuters in an interview．"It leads to a sense of entitlement （權(quán)力） and a lack of personal achievement．"
Entitlement，he believes，is the worst thing ever．"Anybody who acts as if they deserve something‘just because…'is a disaster，"he said．In his new book，Buffett says that the only read inheritance handed down from his parents was a philosophy（人生觀）：Forge（努力建立）your own path in life．It is a belief that has allowed him to follow his own passions，establish his own identity，and achieve his own successes．
Did his father ever want him to go into finance？"It was encouraged for a moment when I was open to the idea，he told Reuters．But as he grew older，it became clear the financial world was not speaking to my heart．"
His father accepted his choice to become a musician．He began his musical career by writing music for TV commercials．He then released his own albums．
"I am my own person and I know what I have achieved in my life，"he told Reuters．"This isn't about wealth or fame or money or any of that stuff，it is actually about values and what you enjoy and finding something you love doing．"
Along with the book，Buffettt has begun a"Concert & Conversation"tour in which he plays the piano，talks about his life and warns against consumerist（消費(fèi)主義）culture and damaging the environment．
"Economic prosperity may come and go； that's just how it is，"he writes in the book．"But values are the steady currency that earns us the all-important rewards．"

Answer 1

分析 我們很多人都認(rèn)為富人的孩子肯定會有無盡的特權(quán)，但是作為一名億萬投資者的兒子，52歲的巴菲特卻不這樣認(rèn)為，即擁有一個富裕的家庭可以對于一個孩子有利，也可以毀掉他．巴菲特認(rèn)為從父母那里傳承下來的財(cái)產(chǎn)是一種人生觀：努力建立你自己的生活道路．就是這種信念讓他追求自己的夢想，建立屬于自己的身份，實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的成績．生活中的成就不是財(cái)富，名望或者類似的東西，而是你的價(jià)值觀，你喜歡的東西已經(jīng)找到你喜歡做的事，他更注重一個人的內(nèi)在成功．所以他的父母會讓他追求自己的音樂夢想．

解答 答案：53--56ACDB
53．A．詞義猜測題．根據(jù)第一段中的Many of us assume that the child of one of the richest men on earth must enjoy endless privilege可知我們很多人都認(rèn)為富人的孩子肯定會有無盡的特權(quán)；又根據(jù)第二段中People who are born with a silver spoon in their mouth can fall victim to what my father has called a silver dagger （匕首） in your back可知含著銀勺子出生的人會變成受害者，因?yàn)樵谒�的背后總有一把銀匕首，所以本句It leads to a sense of entitlement （權(quán)力） and a lack of personal achievement．中的it 指的就是出生在富人家庭里，即出生在富人家庭里會導(dǎo)致權(quán)力欲和個人成就的缺乏．因此答案是A．Being born to a wealthy family．
54．C．細(xì)節(jié)題．根據(jù)第一段Many of us assume that the child of one of the richest men on earth must enjoy endless privilege．But 52-year-old Peter Buffett，a son of billionaire investor Warren，doesn't think so．可知我們很多人都認(rèn)為富人的孩子肯定會有無盡的特權(quán)，但是作為一名億萬投資者的兒子，52歲的巴菲特卻不這樣認(rèn)為，所以答案是C．A wealthy family can benefit a child but also spoil him or her．即擁有一個富裕的家庭可以對于一個孩子有利，也可以毀掉他．
55．D．推理判斷題．根據(jù)第三段Buffett says that the only read inheritance handed down from his parents was a philosophy（人生觀）：Forge（努力建立）your own path in life．It is a belief that has allowed him to follow his own passions，establish his own identity，and achieve his own successes可知巴菲特認(rèn)為從父母那里傳承下來的財(cái)產(chǎn)是一種人生觀：努力建立你自己的生活道路．就是這種信念讓他追求自己的夢想，建立屬于自己的身份，實(shí)現(xiàn)自己的成績．所以答案是 D．the values he learned from his parents即他認(rèn)為自己的成功應(yīng)歸功于從父母那里學(xué)到的價(jià)值觀．
56．B．推理判斷題．根據(jù)第五段This isn't about wealth or fame or money or any of that stuff，it is actually about values and what you enjoy and finding something you love doing．可知巴菲特認(rèn)為生活中的成就不是財(cái)富，名望或者類似的東西，而是你的價(jià)值觀，你喜歡的東西已經(jīng)找到你喜歡做的事，因此可以看出他更注重一個人的內(nèi)在成功，所以答案是  B．A person's value lies within．

點(diǎn)評 科教類閱讀．
   對于事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題，剖析一下不難看出，事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)的內(nèi)容不會單獨(dú)出現(xiàn)，它總會與前前后后的段落內(nèi)容相呼應(yīng)．考生只要抓住整體大綱，看懂主題，利用內(nèi)容間的因果關(guān)系，通過時間空間的關(guān)系轉(zhuǎn)換，并對細(xì)節(jié)進(jìn)行深入的剖析了理解，確定主題，將零碎的細(xì)節(jié)組成一個有機(jī)整體，就能深刻理解材料的內(nèi)容，從而輕松解決問題．
