[单项选择]Passage Four
Most cities and/or states in the U. S. collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy.
You must ask when you move into a new community how much the local sales tax is, and
what items are and are not taxable. Both taxable items and the amount of tax vary
considerably from place, from one of two percent in some places up to eight or ten in others.
The New York City sales tax, for examples, is currently 8%, so if you buy a pair of $ 40
shoes you will actually have to pay $ 43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change
much more difficult (not to mention making everything more expensive).
Another thing that makes money changes more complicated is tipping. The Chinese
people have happily put an end to tipping, but Westerners are still plagued(遭受折磨) with
this indignity. Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers and hairdressers
and all sorts of other people must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because
it is
A. shopping and tipping
B. sales and shopping
C. sales taxes and tipping
D. sales taxes and people
[简答题]Passage 2
American cities are similar to other cities around the world. In every country, cities reflect the values of the culture. Cities contain the very best aspects of a society: opportunities for education, employment, and entertainment. They also contain the very worst parts of a society: violent crime, racial conflict, and poverty. American cities are changing, just as American society is changing.
After World War II, city residents became wealthier, more prosperous. They had more children. They needed more space. They move out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes. They bought houses in the suburbs, areas near a city where people live. These are areas without many offices or factories. During the 1950s the American "dream" was to have a house in the suburbs.
Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in 1950s are now adults. They, unlike their parents, want to live in the cities. Many young professionals, doctors, lawyers,
A. A．explains why American cities are changing
B． shows tat American cities have many problems
C．is a description of cities
D．says: American cities contain the very best aspects of a society
