【题目】One day a teacher was giving her young students a lesson on how the government works. She was trying to explain the principle(原理) of income tax(所得税).“You see,” she began, speaking slowly and carefully, “Each person who works must pay part of his or her salary( 薪水) to the government. If you make a high salary, your taxes are high. If you don’t make much money, your taxes are low.”“Is that clear?” she asked. “Does everyone understand the meaning of income tax?”. All the students nodded.“Are there any questions? ”sheasked. All the students shook their heads.“Very good!”she said. “Now, I would like you to take a piece of paper and write a short composition on the subject of income tax.”

【1】细节理解题。从文章第一段中“She was trying to explain the principle(原理) of income tax(所得税).”她正试图在解释个人所得税的原理。故选C。
【2】细节理解题。从文章第一段中““Does everyone understand the meaning of income tax?”. All the students nodded.“Are there any questions? ”sheasked. All the students shook their heads.”老师问:是每个人都明白了个人所得税的意思了吗?学生们都点头。老师问学生还有问题吗?学生们都摇头。但由后面Joey的小笑话知,实际上是同学似乎是明白了个人所得税的意思。故选A。
【3】细节理解题。从文章第一段“Now, I would like you to take a piece of paper and write a short composition on the subject of income tax.”现在,我将要你们拿出几张纸,以“个人所得税”为题写下一篇小短文。故选C。
【4】细节理解题。从Joey写的文章内容来看:我曾有一只名叫Tax的狗。我打开门,然后它就进来了。他完全没有理解“个人所得税”的意思。故选D。
【5】文章推断题。从Joey写的文章内容来看,可知“income tax” and “in come Tax” 是有点相似的。故选B。
