27、must we pay taxes? The answer is that the government needs money for many things, for example to pay its soldiers, sailors and airmen, to build roads, bridges, offices, schools, etc, and to buy goods from abroad; and only the people of the country can supply the money. One of the most important taxe
28、s is income-tax which a person pays according to the amount of his income-tax. Whether he is a merchant, a doctor, a lawyer, a shopkeeper, a miner, or anything else. This is called a “direct” tax, because it is paid in money direct to the government.Another tax is paid on goods such as watches, jewe
29、llery, new clothes, tobacco, wine, etc, when they are brought into a country, such a tax is paid as part of the price of these goods if they are later sold in shops. We call it “indirect” tax, because it is paid indirectly through the shopkeeper.People usually complain about having to pay taxes, but
30、 they forget that the money is spent on things that they and their families need. We need policemen to catch thieves, to see that men obey the laws, to direct traffic, etc, and they must be paid what they earn; children need education and there must be schools and teachers; we want our streets to be
31、 kept clean, and the wages of men who do this kind of work have to be paid. Above all, the country must always be ready to defend itself against attacking enemies, and we cannot have an army without paying for it.Taxes, therefore, cannot be avoided. We buy our own food and clothes and pay for our ow
32、n amusements; but, there are several things that the State finds the money for, and that are necessary for us if our society is to continue. We have no real cause to complain, therefore, when we are asked to supply money to be spent for the good of ourselves and for our fellow-citizens.56. Indirect
33、tax means .A. tax that one pays directly to the government B. tax that is not paid directly to the governmentC. tax that is paid as an extra amount added to the price of certain goods D. both B and C57. Which of the following is right?A. Taxes are paid to the sellers. B. Income-tax is an indirect ta
34、x.C. The tax on new clothes is paid in money direct to the government.D. Tax is amount of money that you pay to the government for public services.58. People have no real reason to complain about having to pay taxes because .A. some shopkeepers are very rich B. they need money to buy goods from abro
35、adC. their children need educationD. the money is spent on things that they and their families need59. “Taxes cannot be avoided”means .A. people have to pay taxes to the government B. you do not have to pay tax on some goods C. soldiers do not have to pay taxes D. all goods have to be taxedB A busin
36、essman must keep records of the money he takes in and the money he spends. The work of keeping such records is called bookkeeping. The work of deciding how the records should be set up is called accounting. An accountant also finds out, by studying the records, whether or not a business is doing wel
37、l. The accountant must know many things about the business.Suppose a man owns a small clothing store, he keeps records that show that he spent money for newspaper advertising, and for suits, shirts, shoes, and neckties to sell to his customers. He had to pay a young man to help him in the store. He
38、also paid rent and had other expenses. At the end of the year, he must take an inventory. That is, he counts how many pieces of clothing he has on hand. Then he must find out exactly how many he sold, how much money he took in, and how much money he spent in running the business. If he took in more
39、than he spent, he made a profit for the year. If he spent more than he took in, he suffered a loss. He depends on his store accounting records to get all this information.The owner of a small clothing store can keep records without much trouble. But a big oil company, or a big bank has many difficul
40、t accounting problems. The company must know how much money is to be paid by its debtors and how much it owes other companies for supplies. It must know how much it has lost in depreciation, or wear and tear of its equipment. All of this information must be kept in the companys accounts. Big compani
41、es employ many accountants.After a companys accountants finish their yearly count, their work must be officially examined. Experts from outside company double-check the records to be sure the accounts are correct.60. According to the passage, a clothing store owner needs to keep records of the money
42、 he spends for .A. clothing only B. newspaper advertising C. all necessary expenses D. housing61. After taking an inventory, if the owner found that he had got more money than he had spent, he made .A. a profit B. a loss C. an income D. an interest62. A small store owner can usually keep records .A.
43、 with difficulty B. easily C. without any help D. without working63. In big companies, after the accountants finish the yearly count, .A. the work will be well done B. no one will check itC. the records will be finished D. experts will check the recordsCYou may think that inventions are far away fro
44、m your everyday life. But in fact, almost everyone can invent. Its just that they do not recognize that their idea could be the start of an invention. Once inventors see their ideas have some practical value, they dont let them slip away. For example, the inventor of the dishwasher, American Josephi
45、ne Cochrane, loved to give dinner parties. But she found it took too long to wash her dishes by hand and too many of them broke. She decided that a machine could do the job faster and with fewer mistakes. So, in 1886, she set out to make one for herself. Like Cochranes, most inventions are created t
46、o solve a problem. So, the first and most important step is to find the problem. You can start by looking at what is wrong with things you use now. You can ask grandparents or neighbors if they remember ever saying: I wish someone would invent something for. Or you can look at people in different ar
47、eas such as on the street, or at school. Then you might notice situations or things in need of improvement. Remember to record your ideas and work. This will help you develop your invention and protect it when it is completed. The next step is to think about possible solutions. An invention is a new
48、 way of solving a problem. So think of many, varied, and unusual ways. You can often come up with a solution for a problem by looking at it from a different angle (角度) or thinking about it in a new way. Example 1 instead of thinking of shoes as protecting your feet from the ground, think of using so
49、mething to protect the ground from your feet. Example 2 instead of thinking about how you can carry oranges home from a store, think of how they can come to you by delivery or growing your own. Example 3 instead of experimenting with only one solution, can you put two or threesolutions together, or
50、arrange them in different orders? And if one solution doesnt work, can it be put to other uses? That was how yellow post-it notes (N次贴) came about a failed adhesive (粘合剂) experiment proved a weak adhesive had good uses too! After all, most inventions are not brand new. They do not come out of nowher
51、e, but come out of things or ideas that already exist (存在). And the hardest part of inventing, even for a lot of inventors, is coming up with a problem and finding a solution. Once you have an idea, you can always get help building your invention. This problem-solving technique can also work in your
52、 everyday lives. So, why not try it in your studies, in your relationship with others, or even in the way you look at the world? 64. The main idea of this story is _.A. how to improve the world around you B. that you can invent and how you will be able to do so C. problem-solving technique D. how in
53、ventors invent65. What makes inventors different from other people is probably that _. A. they consider every new idea as an inventionB. they are full of creative ideas C. they enjoy solving problems D. they look for problems and try to solve them in a new and better way66. What made Josephine Cochr
54、ane decide to invent the dishwasher? A. Her love of parties. B. Her dislike of dishwashing. C. Her desire for something that could do the dishwashing better.D. Her love of inventing.67. Which of the following is one of the ways to find a problem? A. Look at the world from a different angle. B. Never
55、 let a practical idea slip away.C. Find out things that people are not satisfied with. D. Do experiments.68.The underlined phrase come about probably means to _. A. come into beingB. put to useC. workD. become D When dinning in restaurants, Americans usually order drinks first, then soup, salad, mai
56、n course or entree(主菜), and dessert at last. This is somewhat a different order way from that in Europe.Until about the middle of the nineteenth century, Americans didnt have to worry about whether the salad came before or after the main course since they didnt eat salad at all. Chomping(大声地咀嚼) on g
57、reens was once considered sissy(女人气的), and Americans preferred to get their greens indirectly, after they had been processed by rabbits or deer. The shift of public taste toward the salad may be attributed to New Yorks Delmonico brothers, who originally introduced smorgasbord from Europe, and served
58、 it in their restaurant. Such novelties(新奇的东西) became so popular that by the end of the nineteenth century, the Waldorf salad has swept the country.Europeans still chomp on greens after the main course, as a way of clearing the palate(味觉), and being ready for the cheese. Why Americans eat their sala
59、d first is uncertain. The following joking suggestions might make sense: The custom may be related to the slimming craze, for “salad first” may fill you up without any worry about fattening; to avoid customers impatience with waiting, the restaurant serves salad first to keep them busy while the mai
60、n courses are being prepared; eating raw food while one is waiting for the cooked food may be a way of announcing that one is not wasting time, which is seen as a virtue; probably unfair to the restaurant, this custom has been encouraged by the merchant as trick-the meagerness(不足量) of a meal is less
61、 noticeable if it comes after “free” salad-after all, rabbit food is much cheaper than the rabbit.69. Before the middle of the nineteenth century, _ . A. Americans ate the salad before the main course B. Americans ate the salad after the main course C. Americans ate the salad either before or after
62、the main course D. Americans didnt eat salad at all70. In the last sentence of the passage, “rabbit food” refers to_ . A. the salad B. food made of rabbit meat C. junk food D. food prepared for the rabbit71. Which of the following statements is true? A. Salad first appeared in America, and then was
63、introduce to Europe. B. The American tradition of eating salad before the main course was formed mainly due to health. C. In less than fifty years, salad became popular throughout the United States. D. Serving Salad before the entree by the restaurants is a way of cheating the diners.EA century ago
64、in the United States, when an individual brought suit（起诉） against a company, public opinion tended to protect that company. But perhaps this phenomenon was most striking in the case of the railroads. Nearly half of all carelessness cases decided through 1896 involved railroads. And the railroads usu
65、ally won.Most of the cases were decided in sate courts, when the railroads had the climate of the times on their sides. Government supported the railroad industry; the progress railroads represented was not to be slowed down by requiring them often to pay damages to those unlucky enough to be hurt w
66、orking for them.Court decisions always went against railroad workers. A Mr. Farwell, an engineer, lost his right hand when a switchman carelessly ran his engine off the track. The court reasoned that since Farwell had taken the job of an engineer voluntarily at good pay, he had accepted the risk. Th
67、erefore the accident, though avoidable had the switchmen acted carefully, was a pure accident. In effect a railroad could never be held responsible for injury to one employee caused by the mistake of another.In one case where a Pennsylvania Railroad worker had started a fire at a warehouse and the f
68、ire had spread several blocks, causing widespread damage, a jury found the company responsible for all the damage. But the court overturned the jurys decision because it argued that the railroads carelessness was the immediate cause of damage only to the nearest buildings. Beyond them the connection
69、 was too far-off to consider.As the century wore on, public feeling began to turn against the railroads - against their economic and political power and high fares as well as against their coldness toward individuals.72. Which of the following is NOT true in Farwells case?A. Farwell was injured beca
70、use he carelessly ran his engine off the track.B. Farwell would not have been injured if the switchman had been more careful.C. The court argued that the victim had accepted the risk since he had willingly taken his job.D. The court decided that the railroad should not be held responsible.73. What m
71、ust have happened after the fire case was settled in court?A. The railroad compensated（赔偿）for the damage to the immediate buildings.B. The railroad compensated for all the damage by the fire.C. The railroad paid nothing for the damaged building.D. The railroad worker paid for the property damage him
72、self.74. The following aroused public anger EXCEPT _.A. political power B. high fares C. economic loss D. indifference75. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Railroad oppressing individuals in the US. B. History of the US railroads.C. Railroad workers working rights. D. Law cases concerning the

77、。【解题关键】一位脸部畸形、相貌丑陋的妇女，用自己的内心美和所表现出的优雅深深地打动了作者。作者首先叙述自己看到的便笺，而没有说明作者是谁，为读者留下悬念；后来便笺的作者出现，相貌出乎作者的意料，作者以此展开自己对美的认识和议论。理清文章的结构、把作者的叙述和想要表达的观点结合起来分析理解是做好这篇完形填空的关键。36. C前文已经提到了这些小便笺。37. D从前面的转折词But判断，作者很久以后才遇见了便笺的作者。It was long before.意为很久以后才。38. A tell告知符合语境。39. B从上文看，这位妇女是在听作者讲道时随手写了一些感想，写完后就把它们放在了教堂的篮子
78、里面。40. A作者没有预料到写这些便笺的是这样一位妇女，因此感到震惊。41. C从下文她抬起头来向我微笑可推知，此处她垂着头。42. B后文有提示，她微笑起来非常困难。43. D由前面她脸部畸形可以推断出答案。44. A作者和这位妇女见面时聊天，符合常理。45. A此处表示后来情况怎样，因此用turned out后来证明。46. D两个人互相探讨人生，其他选项表达的意思都太片面。47. B此处表示两个人谈起了读过的书的作者。48. D文章第一段提到这位妇女写读书感想，前面提到两个人谈论彼此熟悉的作者，我们可以断定，读书是这位妇女的乐趣。49. C脸部畸形使她不可能相貌动人。50. A因为这位妇女相貌不好，因此内心的痛苦可想而知。51. D作者强调她所表现出来的不是外表的美，而是内心的美。52. C表示转折。53. A因为她珍视友谊，因此她害怕失去友谊。文章并没有介绍她已经失去了友谊，因此不选regret 后悔。54. B作者强调这位妇女的美不是表面的。55.
