Taxes, Taxes and More Taxes
Americans often say that there are only two things a person can be sure of in life: death and taxes. Americans do not have a corner on the “death〞 market, but many people feel that the United States leads the world with the worst taxes.
Taxes consist of the money which people pay to support their government. There are generally three levels of government in the United States: federal (联邦), state, and city; therefore, there are three types of taxes.
Salaried people who earn more than a few thousand dollars must pay a certain percentage of their salaries to the federal government. The percentage varies (变化) form person to person. It depends on their salaries. The federal government has a graduated income tax, that is, the
percentage of the tax (14 to 70 percent) increases as a person’s income increases. With the high cost of taxes people are not very happy on April 15, when the federal taxes are due.
The second tax is for the state government: New York, California, North Dakota, or any of the other forty-seven states. Some states have an income tax similar to that of the federal government. Of course, the percentage for the state tax is lower. Other states have a sales tax, which is a percentage charged to any item(工程) which you buy in that state. For example, a person might want to buy a packet of cigarettes for twenty -five cents. If there is a sales tax of eight percent in that state, then the cost of the cigarettes is twenty-seven cents. This figure includes the sales tax. Some states use income tax in addition to sales tax to raise their revenues (财政收入) . The state tax laws are diverse (多样的) and confusing.
The third tax is for the city. This tax comes in two forms: property tax (people who own a home have to pay taxes on it) and excise tax〔特许权税〕, which is charged on cars in a city. The cities use these funds (资金) for education, police and fire departments, public works and municipal (市政的) buildings.
Since Americans pay such high taxes, they often feel that they are working one day each week just to pay their taxes. People always complain about taxes. They often protest that the government uses their tax dollars in the wrong way. They say that it spends too much on useless and impractical programs. Although Americans have different views on many issues, they tend to agree on one subject: taxes are too high.
64. How do you understand the s entence “Americans do not have a corner on the ‘death’ market〞?
A. It means that Americans, just like all other people, must die.
B. It means that Americans do not have a secret place to keep from death in their life.
C. It means that Americans are not good at doing business in the death market.
D. It means that there is no such place as a death market in the U. S .
65. Why should the American people usually pay three types of taxes?
A. There are three levels of government—federal, state and city—to support the United States.
B. There are three kinds of taxes to pay. They are graduated income tax, sales tax and property
tax.
C. They earn different salaries: high, middle, and low.
D. Tax laws in different states are different.
66. What does the title “Taxes, Taxes, and More Taxes〞 imply?
A. Americans are not satisfied with the three types of taxes.
B. The three levels of government do not use the taxes in a right way.
C. Americans complain that taxes are too high.
D. Americans’ taxes are diverse and confusing.
D.
Breathe, wave and smile. Along with more than 300 other seniors, I marched into the stadium on the afternoon of May 10. The audience burst into deafening cheers. The huge stadium shook with all the whistling and clapping.
It was as if a Hollywood superstar had walked on stage. And indeed, every single senior that day was a star of the moment. Each deserved it. The seniors had been preparing for four years for this once-in-a-lifetime moment—the commencement.
Seated, I waited anxiously for the opening address. As a foreign exchange student, I was not able to receive a diploma. However, I still had the wonderful feeling of being part of things.
Like the other graduates, I was dressed in marron cap and gown(方帽长袍).
Our principal, Mr. Glover, delivered a short, warm greeting. The US national anthem followed and then, hands on chests, a solemn Pledge of Allegiance(对的忠孝宣誓).
Students who had excelled academically gave farewell speeches. The tears in some eyes convinced me that many had deep feelings about the occasion. It was as the class motto says, “Life brings us tears, smiles and memories. The tears dry; the smiles fade; but the memories last forever.〞
Then came the core (核心) of the commencement. Hundreds of names were announced. Each graduate walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma from the principal. From the different cheers each graduate got, we had the funny sense that it was a kind of competition of who could cheer the loudest.
To be honest, the presentation of diplomas got boring. A girl sitting next to me even started yawning. But it wasn’t boring for those receiving the diploma: they would treasure the moment the principal placed the sacred brown document in their hands for the rest of their lives.
A new page in the book of that person’s life had turned. They were glimpsing their futures: futures of challenge, hardship, perhaps loneliness too, which would take all of their courage.
67. What’s the article mainly about?
A. An American high school’s graduation ceremony.
B. The opening ceremony of a sports meeting.
C. A presentation of college diplomas.
D. A US college’s farewell party.
68. Which of the following statements about the author is FALSE?
A. She was one of the graduates.
B. She was a foreign exchange student.
C. She was excited to receive her diploma.
D. She felt it great to be at the ceremony.
69. The right order of the following events is_____________.
a. Diplomas were presented to graduates.
b. Students gave farewell speeches.
c. The US national anthem was playe
d. d. The principal gave a short, warm speech.
e. Seniors went into the stadium.
A. b,c,a,d,e
B. c,d,b,e,a
C.
d,b,e,a,c D. e,d,c,b,a
70. From the text, we can conclude that_______.
A. a diploma ensures a good job
B. a diploma guarantees a bright future
C. the commencement symbolizes the beginning of a new stage in life
D. everyone felt excited at the presentation of the diploma
E.
As computers become all the more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they
may end up forgetting the exact strokes〔笔画〕of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.
Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more wide-spread among university students. Almost all their homework and essays are typed on a computer.
All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.
It's faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that's why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.
"When I'm writing with a pen, I find I often can't remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it."
"I'm not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper."
Many students don't feel this is something to worry about. Now that it's more convenient and quick to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?
Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei , the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said "Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(审美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only have their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer's emotion(情绪). Through one's handwriting, people can get to know one's thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.〞
To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的)and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.
71.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
A. The Importance of Handwriting and Typing.
B. To Type or To Hand Write
C. Writing By Computer Will Replace Writing By Hand
D. Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters.
72.The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because______.
A. they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and Essays
B. they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently
C. they find it not easy to remember how to write a character
D. computers have become popular in China.
73.. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE of the advantages of handwriting?
A. Handwriting contains the writer's emotion.
B. The writer’s thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting,
C. Handwriting can impress people well and build up one’s self-confidence
D. Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.
74. The underlined expression “taking stock in〞(Paragraph 4) probably means_____.
A. getting bored with
B. getting dependent on
C. becoming crazy about
D. getting curious about
75..We can draw the conclusion from the passage that_______.
A. more and more students will give up writing on a computer
B. writing by hand will give way to typing by computer one day
C. more and more students will pay attention to handwriting
D. the typing article better expresses one’s emotion and quality

认真阅读以下短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填1个单词。

请将答案写在答题纸相题号的横线上。

The World Band, the United Nations and the London School of Hygienne and Tropical Medicine did a study to urge hand-washing around the world. They found that one million lives could be saved each year if people washed their hands with soap often. They said that programs to increase hand-washing with soap could be among the most effective ways to reduce infectious(有传染性的)disease.
Doctors say, many diseases can be prevented from spreading by hand-washing. These include pinworms〔寄生虫〕，influenza, the common cold, hepatitis〔肝炎〕A, meningitis〔脑膜炎〕 and infectious diarrhea〔腹泻〕.
Hand-washing destroys germs from other people, animals or objects a person has touched. When people get bacteria(细菌) on their hands, they can infect themselves by touching their eyes, nose or mouth. Then these people can infect other people.
The experts say the easiest way to catch a cold is to touch your nose or eyes after someone nearby has sneezed or coughed. Another way to become sick is to eat food prepared by someone whose hands were not clean.
The experts say that hand-washing is especially important before and after preparing food, before eating or after using the toilet. People should wash their hands after handling animals or animal waste, and after cleaning a baby. The experts say it is also a good idea to wash your hands after handling money and after sneezing or coughing. And it is important to wash your hands often when someone in your home is sick. The experts say the most effective way to wash your hands is to rub them together while using soap and warm water. They say you don’t have to use special antibacterial soap. Be sure to rub all areas of the hands for about ten to fifteen seconds. The
rubbing action helps remove germs. Then rinse(冲洗) the hands with water and dry them.
