Answer 1

分析 我们很多人都认为富人的孩子肯定会有无尽的特权，但是作为一名亿万投资者的儿子，52岁的巴菲特却不这样认为，即拥有一个富裕的家庭可以对于一个孩子有利，也可以毁掉他．巴菲特认为从父母那里传承下来的财产是一种人生观：努力建立你自己的生活道路．就是这种信念让他追求自己的梦想，建立属于自己的身份，实现自己的成绩．生活中的成就不是财富，名望或者类似的东西，而是你的价值观，你喜欢的东西已经找到你喜欢做的事，他更注重一个人的内在成功．所以他的父母会让他追求自己的音乐梦想．

解答 答案：53--56ACDB
53．A．词义猜测题．根据第一段中的Many of us assume that the child of one of the richest men on earth must enjoy endless privilege可知我们很多人都认为富人的孩子肯定会有无尽的特权；又根据第二段中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可知含着银勺子出生的人会变成受害者，因为在他的背后总有一把银匕首，所以本句It leads to a sense of entitlement （权力） 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会导致权力欲和个人成就的缺乏．因此答案是A．Being born to a wealthy family．
54．C．细节题．根据第一段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．可知我们很多人都认为富人的孩子肯定会有无尽的特权，但是作为一名亿万投资者的儿子，52岁的巴菲特却不这样认为，所以答案是C．A wealthy family can benefit a child but also spoil him or her．即拥有一个富裕的家庭可以对于一个孩子有利，也可以毁掉他．
55．D．推理判断题．根据第三段Buffett says that the only read inheritance handed down from his parents was a philosophy（人生观）：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可知巴菲特认为从父母那里传承下来的财产是一种人生观：努力建立你自己的生活道路．就是这种信念让他追求自己的梦想，建立属于自己的身份，实现自己的成绩．所以答案是 D．the values he learned from his parents即他认为自己的成功应归功于从父母那里学到的价值观．
56．B．推理判断题．根据第五段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．可知巴菲特认为生活中的成就不是财富，名望或者类似的东西，而是你的价值观，你喜欢的东西已经找到你喜欢做的事，因此可以看出他更注重一个人的内在成功，所以答案是  B．A person's value lies within．
