Question

One day a teacher was giving her young students a lesson on how the government works. She was trying to explain the principle of income tax (收入稅).

“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?” The students nodded.

Are there any questions?” she asked. The students shook their heads.

“Very good!” she said.” “Now, I would like you to take a piece of paper and write a short paragraph on the subject of income tax.”

Little Joey was a slow learner. He had lots of problems with spelling and grammar, but this time he at least seemed to understand the task.. He took his pen and after a few minutes, he handed the teacher the following composition:

Once I had a dog. His name was Tax. I opened the door and in come Tax.

【解析】

試題分析: 本文講述老師在給學生們講述什么叫收入稅，講完后讓同學們寫關(guān)于這個主題的文章，而理解力很差的Joey理解錯了。

1.C 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段提到She was trying to explain the principle of income tax (收入稅)，故選C項。

2.A 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段提到Once I had a dog. His name was Tax. I opened the door and in come Tax.可知Joey并沒有明白這個問題，故選A項。

3.A 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段可知“Now, I would like you to take a piece of paper and write a short paragraph on the subject of income tax.”老師讓學生拿出紙來，寫一下關(guān)于這個收入稅的短文，故選A項。

4.A 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Once I had a dog. His name was Tax. I opened the door and in come Tax.可知他寫的是自己的小狗叫Tax，故選A項。
