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

21、 government talked to Ray Mathers and Eve Winick. “ Lets change to a flat rate tax. “ Says Ray Mathers. “ Everyone should be taxed the same percentage. Its fair. And its easy to figure out. “ Mathers is president of Trig Computer Company. He makes over $80 000 a year. “ I dont want a flat rate incom

22、e tax. “says Eve Winick. Winick is a grammar school teacher. Her school is in a poor neighborhood. She makes $ 14 000 a year. “I dont care if its 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 themselv

23、es. Why should they pay heavier taxes? Theyre 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.

24、e could pay taxes.

B

29、ut people still act surprised when you ask if the coffee is to go. You mean I can take it with me? they ask. “The German Coffee Association says the number of coffee bars in Germany offering takeaway coffee has mushroomed to more than 400 in the past few years.“ Europe is often 5 or 8 years behind t

30、rends in America, “ says Joann. “ In the States, coffee to go is part of everyday life.Owing in part to Starbucks, it appears to be very much part of everyday life in many other countries too. The Seattle-based group competes with a growing number of global chains in attempting to reshape coffee dri

31、nking cultures in regions including Asia and the Middle East.The US is the model for continental Europes new“ coffee to go “culture-. Each of the new cafe bars offers cakes and cookies to go with the coffee. But then “coffee to go, might sound a little odd to English ears used to the words“takeaway“

32、or“takeout“.It does sum up the brisker pace of life here since the city resumed its status as the German capital following the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989.

33、l chain of coffee shops across the city.It may take the concept to other German cities. A key aim of the new coffee to go cafes is to push aside the outdated and stodgy(单调无味的)cafe and cake scene with one hiss of the cappuccino(卡布奇诺咖啡加牛奶或奶油用蒸汽加热煮出的浓咖啡 )machine.Taking coffee, slowly and indecorous sur

34、roundings, has been a feature of European coffee houses, particularly in German-speaking countries, for decades.

35、6 Which of the following best fit the title of the passage?（A）US“ Coffee to Go“ Culture（B） Take away the Coffee（C） Coffee to Go Booms across Europe（D）Coffee to Go in Germany47 Why“ coffee to go “is popular in Europe?（A）Because of fast-paced life.（B） Because people like snacks to go with coffee.（C） T

All we really know is that m

40、en, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be written down. These sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we

41、 call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associationthe things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more t

42、he number of words that mean something to us increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet

43、is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.51 Which of the following

44、is TRUE about the words?（A）They are used to express feelings only.（B） They can not be written down.（C） They are simply sounds.（D）They are mysterious.52 The real power of words consists in their_.（A）properties（B） characteristics（C） peculiarity（D）representative function53 By“ association“, the author

47、almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and medieval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading“ undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only during nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace.One should be wary, however, of assuming that silent reading came about sim

48、ply because reading aloud is a distraction to others. Examination of factors related to the historical development of silent reading reveals that it became the usual mode of reading for most adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.The last century saw a steady gr

49、adual increase in literacy, and thus in the number of readers. As readers increased, so the number of potential listeners declined, and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a private activity in such publi
