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?” 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.

试题分析: 本文讲述老师在给学生们讲述什么叫收入税，讲完后让同学们写关于这个主题的文章，而理解力很差的Joey理解错了。

1.C 细节理解题。根据第一段提到She was trying to explain the principle of income tax (收入税)，故选C项。

2.A 细节理解题。根据最后一段提到Once I had a dog. His name was Tax. I opened the door and in come Tax.可知Joey并没有明白这个问题，故选A项。

3.A 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段可知“Now I would like you to take a piece of paper and write a short paragraph on the subject of income tax.”老师让学生拿出纸来，写一下关于这个收入税的短文，故选A项。

4.A 细节理解题。根据Once I had a dog. His name was Tax. I opened the door and in come Tax.可知他写的是自己的小狗叫Tax，故选A项。
