Just as the sun and the moon raise tides on the earth, so this star must have raised tides on the surface of the sun. But they were very different from the small tides that are raised in our oceans; a large tidal wave' must have travelled over the surface of the sun, at last forming a mountain so high that we cannot imagine it. As the cause of the disturbance (动荡) came nearer, so the mountain rose higher and higher. And before the star began to move away again, its tidal pull had become so powerful that this mountain was torn to pieces and threw off small parts of itself into space. These small pieces have been going round the sun ever since. They are the planets (行星).46.

    Income Income may be national income and personal income. Whereas national income is defined as the total earned income of all the factors of production-namely, profits, interest, rent, wages, and other compensation for labor, personal income may be defined as total money income received by individuals before personal taxes are paid. National income does not equal GNP (Gross National Product) because the factors of production do not receive payment for either capital consumption allowances or indirect business taxes, both of which are included in GNP. The money put aside for capital consumption is for replacement and thus is not counted as income. Indirect taxes include sales taxes, property taxes , and excise taxes that are paid by businesses directly to the government and so reduce the income left to pay for the factors of production. Three-fourths of national income goes for wages, salaries, and other forms of compensation to employees. Whereas national income shows the income that the factors of production earn, personal income measures the income that individuals or households receive. Corporation profits are included in national income because they are earned. Out of these profits, however, corporation profit taxes must be paid to the government, and some money must be put into the business for expansion. Only that part of profits distributed as dividends goes to the individual; therefore, out of corporation profits only dividends count as personal income. The factors of production earn money for social security and unemployment insurance contributions, but this money goes to government (which is not a factor of production), not to individuals. It is therefore part of national income but not part of personal income. On the other hand, money received by individuals when they collect social security or unemployment compensation is not money earned but money received. Interest received on government bonds is also in this category, because much of the money received from the sale of bonds went to pay for war production and that production no longer furnishes a service to the economy. The money people receive as personal income may be either spent or saved. However, not all spending is completely voluntary. A significant portion of our income goes to pay personal taxes. Most workers never receive the money they pay in personal taxes, because it is withheld from their paychecks. The money that individuals are left with after they have met their tax obligations is disposable personal income. Disposable income can be divided between personal consumption expenditures and personal savings. It is important to remember that personal saving is what is left after spending. According to this passage, the money you get as interest from government bonds is（）

    • A、the money earned
    • B、the money not earned but received
    • C、the money received for the contribution you have made to the economy
    • D、the money earned for the service you have furnished to the economy

    问答题
    Practice 1　　The greenhouse effect causes trouble by raising the temperature of the planet. The  1 rise is not very much，but the Earth’s ecosystem is very weak，and small changes can have large effects.　　It has been believed that this 2 of one degree will happen by the year 2025. This could probably  3 the North American corn belt, which produces much of the world’s grain， 4 to much higher food prices，and even less food for the Third World than they already have. However，it would also mean that some countries which are further north would be able to  5 crops they had never been able to before，although there is less land as you move north from the corn belt.　　The other serious worry is that rising sea levels from the melting of the polar ice could  6 flood many countries. A rise in sea levels of one meter，which many expels are  7 by the year 2100 (and some as soon as 2030)，would flood 15 percent of Egypt，and 12 percent of Bangladesh. The Maldives in the Indian Ocean would almost  8 disappear. Most of the countries which would suffer most from a rise in sea levels are the poor  9  states，so the islands in the Caribbean，South Pacific，Meditertgiiean and Indian Ocean have formed the Alliance of Small Island States，AOSIS，so they have a  10 voice in international politics and can make the richer developed world listen to their problems.[A] severely 　　　　 [B] damage　　　　　[C] island[D] critical　　　　　[E] grow 　　　　　 [F] mainland[G] louder 　　　　　 [H] predicting 　　 [I] rise[J] completely 　　　 [K] geometry 　　　 [L] actual[M] extending 　　　　[N] 1eading 　　　　[O] develop

    正确答案： 1.L 该处应填入形容词。根据后半句句意知道虽然温度变化的幅度很小,但还是会有很大的影响,因此可推知前半句说明的是实际的变化很小,由此可确定给定词中的actual正确,意为“实际的”。
    2.I 该处应填入名词。由this的指示作用可知此处所讲的内容上文有所提及,再根据空白处后的degree可推知此处填入的单词与温度有关,因此可确定rise为本题答案。
    3.B 该处应填入动词原形。上段说到温度上升会给生态带来不好的影响,故此处填入的单词应带有负面意义,所以可确定给定词中的damage正确。
    4.N 该处应填入能与to搭配的动词现在分词形式。这句话讲的是温度上升所带来的不利影响,因此可确定给定词中的leading正确,lead to意为“导致”。
    5.E 该处应填入动词原形。由句首的however可推知,温度上升会给一些地区带来不利影响,但也会使别的地区受益,因此可确定给定词中的grow正确,表明一些国家由于温度升高可以种植一些原本不能种植的作物。
    6.A 该处应填入副词。根据下文提到的数据可以确定给定词中的severely符合题意。
    7.H 该处应填入动词的现在分词形式。根据后文的by the year 2100可推知此处应表示预测未来的情况,故可确定给定词中的predicting一词正确,意为“预测”。
    8.J 该处应填入副词。本句讲的是马尔代夫的情况,由almost…disappear可推知所给定词中的completely正确,说明马尔代夫可能会完全消失。
    9.C 该处应填入修饰states的形容词或名词。这句话说明贫穷的岛国受到海平面上升的影响最大,再根据后半句出现的islands可确定给定词中中的island为本题答案。
    10.G 该处应填入修饰voice的形容词。本句意为岛国形成联盟让发达国家聆听他们的声音,即增强自己的影响力和声音,故可确定给定词中的louder正确。

    Income Income may be national income and personal income. Whereas national income is defined as the total earned income of all the factors of production-namely, profits, interest, rent, wages, and other compensation for labor, personal income may be defined as total money income received by individuals before personal taxes are paid. National income does not equal GNP (Gross National Product) because the factors of production do not receive payment for either capital consumption allowances or indirect business taxes, both of which are included in GNP. The money put aside for capital consumption is for replacement and thus is not counted as income. Indirect taxes include sales taxes, property taxes , and excise taxes that are paid by businesses directly to the government and so reduce the income left to pay for the factors of production. Three-fourths of national income goes for wages, salaries, and other forms of compensation to employees. Whereas national income shows the income that the factors of production earn, personal income measures the income that individuals or households receive. Corporation profits are included in national income because they are earned. Out of these profits, however, corporation profit taxes must be paid to the government, and some money must be put into the business for expansion. Only that part of profits distributed as dividends goes to the individual; therefore, out of corporation profits only dividends count as personal income. The factors of production earn money for social security and unemployment insurance contributions, but this money goes to government (which is not a factor of production), not to individuals. It is therefore part of national income but not part of personal income. On the other hand, money received by individuals when they collect social security or unemployment compensation is not money earned but money received. Interest received on government bonds is also in this category, because much of the money received from the sale of bonds went to pay for war production and that production no longer furnishes a service to the economy. The money people receive as personal income may be either spent or saved. However, not all spending is completely voluntary. A significant portion of our income goes to pay personal taxes. Most workers never receive the money they pay in personal taxes, because it is withheld from their paychecks. The money that individuals are left with after they have met their tax obligations is disposable personal income. Disposable income can be divided between personal consumption expenditures and personal savings. It is important to remember that personal saving is what is left after spending. The passage implies that（）
    A

    people willingly pay taxes because they want to do something useful to the country

    B

    people willingly pay taxes because they do not want to be looked down upon by others

    C

    people pay taxes unwillingly because they feel they will be arrested if they do not

    D

    people pay taxes somewhat unwillingly


    正确答案： A
    解析： 文章最后一段表明，并不是所有的开支都是自愿的，个人收入的很大一部分用来付种种税款即是如此。因此选项D是正确的答案。答案为D。

    A

    corporation profits

    B

    every individual even though his income is very low

    C

    those who work in joint ventures

    D

    those who work in government departments


    正确答案： A
    解析： 本文提到过个人也要缴税，但并没有说每个有收入的人都要缴纳，不管其收入是多少，但是公司的利税是必须缴的。本题的依据是第二段中的一句： Out of these profits， however， corporation profit taxes must be paid to the government... C 和D在本文中根本没有提到过，故都不对。答案为A。
