参考答案和解析
题目问的是：根据文章，富人和穷人间的收入差距可能会因为什么再次扩大？文章第2段提到“Some long-term sick...grow relatively poorer if... raise benefits only in line with prices.”，以及第5段提到“it could widen again if the real value of earnings accelerated away from the real value of prices-linked benefits”，表明了如果福利只与价格挂钩，不顾人们收入的真正价值，贫富差距很可能会拉大。故D正确。

第1题：
The above chart shows individual income tax in China. The tax free threshold is 3,500 RMB per month. The tax rates are divided into 7 brackets. The lowest rate is 3% for income between 3,501 and 5,000, while the highest rate is 45% for income over 80,000. Therefore, the higher our income is, the more tax we should pay. Tax, which can be used in public services such as education, road construction, public health and so on, is very important to our country. As we all know, tax makes up a great part of our country’s revenue, and the development of our country depends on it. From what has been discussed above, we can see that it is everyone’s legal duty to pay tax because taxes contribute to the country and create benefits for everyone. Those who try to evade taxation are sure to be punished. In short, paying tax is our responsibility to society.Decide if each of the following statements is TRUE (T) or FALSE (F).

第12题：
单选题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. This passage is mainly about（）Athe difference between national income and GNP
Bthe difference between national income and personal income
Cthe concept of income
Dthe difference between disposable income and nondisposable income

第15题：
Few laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect. But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled--to $1.01 per pack--smokers have jammed telephone "quit lines" across the country seeking to kick the habit.
This is not a surprise to public health advocates. They've studied the effect of state tax increases for years, finding that smokers, especially teens, are price sensitive. Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every tax increase.
The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message. Tobacco taxes improve public health, they raise money and most particularly, they deter people from taking up the habit as teens, which is when nearly all smokers are addicted. Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.
In Manhattan, for instance, which has the highest tax in the nation, a pack of Marlboro Light Kings cost $10.06 at one drug store Wednesday. Charleston, S.C, where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation. The price was $4.78.The influence is obvious.
In New York, high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys--13.8%, far below the national average. By comparison,26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky, Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records.
Hal Rogers, Representative from Kentucky, like those who are against high tobacco taxes, argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans "who choose to smoke."
That's true. But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low-income workers from getting hooked in the first place, as for today's adults, if the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on their families, cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.
The text is mainly about_________.A. the price of cigarettes
B. the rate of teen smoking
C. the effect of tobacco tax increase
D. the differences in tobacco tax rate答案：C解析：主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要是关于烟草税收增加后带来的影响。 -
