第13题：
James died on 22 January 2015. He had made the following gifts during his lifetime:
(1) On 9 October 2007, a cash gift of ￡35,000 to a trust. No lifetime inheritance tax was payable in respect of this gift.
(2) On 14 May 2013, a cash gift of ￡420,000 to his daughter.
(3) On 2 August 2013, a gift of a property valued at ￡260,000 to a trust. No lifetime inheritance tax was payable in respect of this gift because it was covered by the nil rate band. By the time of James’ death on 22 January 2015, the property had increased in value to ￡310,000.
On 22 January 2015, James’ estate was valued at ￡870,000. Under the terms of his will, James left his entire estate to his children.
The nil rate band of James’ wife was fully utilised when she died ten years ago.
The nil rate band for the tax year 2007–08 is ￡300,000, and for the tax year 2013–14 it is ￡325,000.
Required:
(a) Calculate the inheritance tax which will be payable as a result of James’ death, and state who will be responsible for paying the tax. (6 marks)
(b) Explain why it might have been beneficial for inheritance tax purposes if James had left a portion of his estate to his grandchildren rather than to his children. (2 marks)
(c) Explain why it might be advantageous for inheritance tax purposes for a person to make lifetime gifts even when such gifts are made within seven years of death.
Notes:
1. Your answer should include a calculation of James’ inheritance tax saving from making the gift of property to the trust on 2 August 2013 rather than retaining the property until his death.
2. You are not expected to consider lifetime exemptions in this part of the question. (2 marks)
正确答案：(a) James – Inheritance tax arising on death
Lifetime transfers within seven years of death
The personal representatives of James’ estate will be responsible for paying the inheritance tax of ￡348,000.
Working – Available nil rate band
(b) Skipping a generation avoids a further charge to inheritance tax when the children die. Gifts will then only be taxed once before being inherited by the grandchildren, rather than twice.
(c) (1) Even if the donor does not survive for seven years, taper relief will reduce the amount of IHT payable after three years.
(2) The value of potentially exempt transfers and chargeable lifetime transfers are fixed at the time they are made.
(3) James therefore saved inheritance tax of ￡20,000 ((310,000 – 260,000) at 40%) by making the lifetime gift of property.

Lifetime Employment in Japanese Companies
In most large Japanese companies,there is a policy of lifetime employment.What this means is that when people leave school or university to join an enterprise,they can expect to remain with that organization until they retire.In effect,the employee gets job security for life,and can only be fired for serious mistakes in work.Even in times of business recession,he or she is free from the fear of being laid off.
One result of this practice is that the Japanese worker identifies closely with his company and feels strong loyalty to it.By working hard for the company,he believes he is safeguarding his own future.It is not surprising that devotion to one's company is considered a great virtue in Japan.A man is often prepared to put his firm's interests before those of his immediate family.
The job security guaranteed by this system influences the way employees approach their work.They tend to think in terms of what they can achieve throughout their career.This is because they are not judged on how they are performing during a short period of time.They can afford to take a longer perspective than their western counterparts.
This marriage between the employee and the company-the consequence of lifetime employment-may explain why Japanese workers seem positively to love the products their company is producing and why they are willing to stay on after work,for little overtime pay,to participate in earnest discussions about the quality control of their products.The Japanese worker is fond of his company's product because of the close link between him and his company.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：A解析：由第一段第三句“In effect , the employee gets job security for life , and can only be fired forserious mistakes in work.”可知，员工如果在工作中犯严重错误，就会被辞退，可见日本的终身雇佣制并非意味着员工可以在工作中犯严重错误。
根据第二段第四句可知，日本员工时刻准备着把公司的利益放在他的直系亲属的利益的前面。由此可知，日本员工把公司利益看得比家庭利益重要。
根据第二段第二句“By working hard for the company , he believes he is safeguarding hisown future.”可知，日本员工通过努力工作来保证他自己能够有个好未来。
根据第三段第一、四句可知，终身雇佣制会影响员工的职业选择，与西方国家的员工相比，他们在选择职业方面的目光更长远。
根据第四段可知，终身雇佣制使日本员工与公司关系亲密，这也使他们比较喜爱自己公司的产品。
本篇文章只在第四段提到了日本公司的产品，指出日本员工比较喜爱他们公司的产品，并在结尾处讲到，尽管加班费不多，日本员工也常常加班讨论产品质量的控制，可没有提到他们的产品是否物美价廉。
本篇文章主要介绍了日本的终身雇佣制以及终身雇佣制对员工的影响，而非对终身雇佣制的评价。 -
第16题：
Socrates was arrested because of the following reasons EXCEPT( )A.economic corruption
B.religious problem
C.being associated with traitors
D.his teaching答案：A解析：细节题。由题干关键词Socrates was arrested可定位到文章第三段。该段提到“公元前399年，他因荼毒青年和宗教异端而受到审判。围绕审判的是模糊的政治问题，但苏格拉底似乎也因为是阿尔基比阿德斯和克里蒂亚斯的朋友和老师而受到审判，原因是这两个人都背叛了雅典。柏拉图的《道歉》《克里托》和《法耶多》以巨大的戏剧性力量描述了苏格拉底的审判和死亡”，由此可知，B项“宗教问题”、C项“和叛国者有联系”和D项“他的教学”均正确。A项“经济腐败”文中并未提及。 -
