【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 60。 In another experiment, a group of college students was asked if they would do immoral things in various everyday situations. Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change. Students from higher — class families were more likely to act dishonestly. According to the scientists, rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other people39。s feelings. Finally, it just makes them greedier. “Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more, and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self interest,” said Paul Piff, lead scientist of the study. Piff pointed out that the findings don39。t mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor people honest. He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts（本能）and values in different ways.（1）By saying “money is the root of all evil”, the author wants to . A.link wealth with bad behaviorB.draw readers39。 attention to the researchC.show how the saying proves the findingsD.defend rich people who do immoral things（2）According to the scientists, which is NOT the factor that makes rich people immoral? A.They wele risks.B.They have more desires.C.They believe money talks.D.They bee more selfish.（3）Why did the scientists do the experiments? A.To show how social status affects people39。s morality.B.To show people39。s instincts and values in different ways.C.To test whether the saying “money is the root of all evil” is true.D.To show the difference between higher class people and lower class people.（4）What does the passage really want to show us? A.The poor are respectable.B.Money is the root of all evil.C.All rich people are untrustworthy.D.The rich are more likely to act badly.【答案】（1）B（2）A（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文，作者主要通過(guò)展示幾個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)的結(jié)果，旨在證明金錢(qián)是一切罪惡的根源這一說(shuō)法可能是有一定道理的。(1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying…that rich people are more likely to do immoral things, such as lie or cheat, than poorer people.”可知，用這個(gè)俗語(yǔ)“金錢(qián)是萬(wàn)惡之源”來(lái)引出本文的話題——富人們是否比窮人們更加有可能做不道德的事情，通過(guò)一些實(shí)驗(yàn)來(lái)證實(shí)，讓讀者們看到這一研究，目的是吸引讀者對(duì)這個(gè)研究的注意，故選B。(2)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中的“According to the scientists, rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other people39。s feelings.”按照科學(xué)家的研究，富人們通常認(rèn)為錢(qián)可以解決一切麻煩，所以他們更不害怕冒險(xiǎn)，也意味著他們更少在乎其他人的感受，可知，他們喜歡冒險(xiǎn)并不是讓他們不道德的因素，而且從常識(shí)來(lái)說(shuō)，并不是所有喜歡冒險(xiǎn)的人就是富人，而且喜歡冒險(xiǎn)也不代表不道德，故選A。(3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts(本能) and values in different ways.”可知，實(shí)驗(yàn)的目的是展示生活在不同的社會(huì)狀況下的人們?nèi)绾我圆煌姆绞絹?lái)表達(dá)他們的本能和價(jià)值觀。故選A。(4)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Piff pointed out that the findings don39。t mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor people honest.”可知，并不是所有的富人都是不值得信任的，也并不是所有的窮人都是誠(chéng)實(shí)的，故A，C都錯(cuò)誤；B項(xiàng)“金錢(qián)是萬(wàn)惡之源”這只是一個(gè)引子，并不是文章要告訴我們的；根據(jù)文章第一段科學(xué)家發(fā)表的聲明可知，富人們更加有可能不道德，也就是行為上更糟糕，惡劣。故選D。【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇教育類(lèi)閱讀，要求考生根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Two young giantpanda twins born in the United States have returned home to China, but are straggling to adapt to the language and food. The 3yearold sisters, Mei Lun and Mei Huan, wens the first surviving panda twins to be born in the United States, and were returned to China from Zoo Atlanta on Nov. 5. But the pair still understand English belter than Chinese, and prefer American biscuits to Chinese bread. A zookeeper said that his main concern is that the pair are so addicted to American biscuits that everything they eat — from bamboos to apples — has to be mixed with biscuits. They even want to snack on (零食) biscuits when drinking water. The zoo keeper is trying to wean them off their biscuit habit, gradually replacing the American food with Chinese bread. Mei Huan is adapting, but Mei Lun doesn39。t want to touch the unfamiliar bread. Mei Lun is the livelier of the two, often jumping onto the roof and hanging upside down from a rail, but her slightly younger sister Mei Huan is calmer, preferring to sit still, observe her new environment and occasionally snack on bamboo. A language barrier is also reported. While the pair respond to their own names, and understand some English phrases such as “e here,” they don39。t understand the Sichuan dialect of Chinese. The news caused some laughter on Chinese social media, with some users menting that the pandas would soon get used to Sichuan39。s famously spicy cuisine.（1）Based on the passage, which statement do you think is right? A.The panda twins can fit in well in Sichuan.B.The panda twins are only fond of Sichuan food and dishes.C.The panda twins have been used to the new environment very quickly.D.It39。s hard for the panda twins to get used to the new environment soon.（2）What does the underlined part “wean them off” in the fourth paragraph mean? A.help them get rid of.B.help them form.C.help them strengthen.D.help them keep.（3）From the passage we learn that of the two sisters . A.Mei Huan mainly eats bambooB
