　　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．

　　“You see ” she began speaking slowly and carefully “each person who works must pay part of his or her salary 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 assignment．He grabbed 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．

Answer 1

答案：1．A;2．C;3．C;4．C;5．B;
解析：
(1) 从第一段“She was trying to explain the principle of income tax”一句可知A项为最佳选项。C、D两项表达的内容均包含在“the principle of income tax”内。B项不如A项具体。 (2) 老师解释过“income tax”后学生都点头表示理解了。但从Little Joey写作文闹出的笑话可以看出：并非所有的学生都真正理解收入所得税的含义，因此C项正确。 (3) 该答案从“…I would like you to take a piece of paper and write a short paragraph on the subject of income tax”中可以找到。 (4) 从最后两段可以看出：Little Joey没有弄懂income tax的含义而写了一篇关于狗的作文。因此只有C项符合文章。 (5) Joey写的作文是关于他的狗(Tax)的事情，与income tax的含义根本不符，由此排除A项，从“Little Joey was a slow learner…”中可以看出他并不聪明，由此排除C项。D项明显不对，易排除。Joey的作文与老师的要求大相径庭，是由于他把income tax误解为in come Tax，因为它们发音相同，而意思却相差甚远，所以闹出了笑话。
