Passage 1Most people agree that taxes must be paid. Government couldn’t run without money. But people argue about how taxes should be collected.Now the government works with a “progressive tax”. Not everyon e pays the same percentage of his salary in taxes. Poor people are in a low tax bracket. They pay the smallest percentage of income in taxes. Middle-income workers pay a larger percentage than the poor. And the rich fall into the high tax brackets. Few rich people like the progressive tax.The government took a poll. Among other people, the government talked to Ray Mathers and Eve Winick. “Let’s change to a flat rate tax,” Says Ray Mathers. “Everyone should be taxed the same percentage. It’s fair. And it’s easy to figure out.” Mathers is president of Trig Computer Company. He makes over $80,000 a year. “I don’ t want a flat rate income tax,” says Eve Winick. Winick is a grammar school teacher. Her school is in a poor neighborhood. She makes $14,000 a year. “I don’t care if it’s easier to figure out. What I want to know is, would I pay less tax?” Winick worries about her students’ parents. “Some of them can hardly support themselves. Why should they pay heavier taxes? They’re the people who need government services.”Mathers thinks a flat rate would help in the long run. “The country could lower taxes after a while. See, if I paid fewer taxes, I’d save money. I’d put that money into my business and hire more people. Those people could pay taxes. Everybody would be better off.”31. Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?A. The flat rate taxes everyone the same percentage.B. The progressive tax covers a percentage of people’s wages.C. Ray Mathers and Eve Winick answered a government poll.D. There is an argument over two different types of taxation.32. You can infer that an unstated reason Mathers likes the flat rate tax is that _________.A. it is easy to figure outB. he probably pays heavy taxesC. it is fairD. he is poor33. The people who are presently supposed to pay the highest percentage of their income in taxes are the _________.A. richB. middle classC. poorD. businessmen34. Winick does not want a flat rate tax, because _________.A. she is richB. the flat rate tax is hard to figure outC. she might have to pay more taxesD. the flat rate fax is unfair to the rich35. The phrase “better off” (in the last sentence of the passage) means _________.A. in a worse conditionB. wealthyC. doing more than expectedD. in a better conditionPassage 2NEW YORK — E-commerce has revolutionized the business world and won’t disappear despite investors pulling the plug on many dot-coms, says Marcia H. Flicker, Ph. D., a Ford- ham University marketing professor.“Venture capitalists are disgusted ［with the lack of returns］,”she says. “The uncertainty went too far to the investment side in 1998 and 1999, and now it’s gone too far the other way. Investors are so conservative that they are reluctant to invest even i n sustainable businesses.”Flicker says pure Internet-based companies will have limited success. However, “click and mortar” sites —those that are affiliated with a store and have catalogs in addition to a web address—will thrive. This strategy, employed by companies such as Pottery Barn and Eddie Bauer, is working well, she says.Flicker predicts that web services will start charging fees now that revenues from banner ads are waning. The fee structures will allow some users to pay a higher price to avoid unsolicited advertising. Flicker presented these and other ideas at the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International 2001 E-Commerce Conference last month. Fordham’s Graduate School of Business Administration was established in 1969. Its part-time MBA program is ranked 12th by U.S. News & World Report. The College of Business Administration, founded in 1920, is ranked among the “best buys” in undergraduate education by U. S. News & World Report.Founded in 1841, Fo rdham is New York City’s Jesuit University. It has residential campuses in the north Bronx and Manhattan, a graduate center in Tarrytown and the Louis Calder Center Biological Field Station in Armonk, N.Y.36. The reporter sent the report from _________.A. FordhamB. New YorkC. TarrytownD. Armonk37. From the second paragraph, we get to know that _________.A. venture capitalists invested a great deal in e-business in 1998 and 1999B. e-businesses are likely to disappearC. investors got little return from their investment in e-business in 1998 and 1999D. more and more capitalists began to invest in e-business now38. Which of the following is the most likely to be successful in e-business according to Flicker?A. A well-designed web site.B. A company with a large investment.C. A purely Internet-based company.D. A company having a store, catalogue and a website.39. When was this report written?A. In 1998.B. In 1999.C. In 2000.D. In 2001.40. Which is not true about Fordham University?A. It was founded in 1841.B. It has the College of Business Administration.C. Its undergraduate education is better than graduate education.D.
