阅读理解练习【广东省2012届高三考前冲刺卷(一)】everyone knows that taxation is necessary in a modern state：without it，it would not be possible to pay the soldiers and policemen who protect us；nor the workers in government offices who look after our health，our food，our water，and all the other things that we cannot do for ourselves；nor the ministers and members of parliament(国会) who govern the country for us.by means of taxation，we pay for things that we need just as much as we need somewhere to live and something to eat.but everyone knows that taxation is necessary，different people have different ideas about how taxation should be arranged.should each person have to pay a certain amount of money to the government each year？or should there be tax on things that people buy and sell？if the first kind of taxation is used，should everyone pay the same tax，whether he is rich or poor？if the second kind of tax is preferred，should everything be taxed equally?in most countries，a direct tax on persons，which is called income tax，exists.it is arranged in such a way that the poorest people pay nothing，and the percentage of tax grows greater as the taxpayers income grows.in england，for example，the tax on the richest people goes up as high as ninetyfive percent!but countries with direct taxation nearly always have indirect taxation too.many things imported into the country have to pay taxes or “duties”of course，it is the men and women who buy these imported things in the shops who really have to pay the duties，in the form of higher prices.in some countries，too，there is a tax on things sold in the shops.if the most necessary things are taxed，a lot of money is collected，but the poor people suffer most.if unnecessary things like jewels and fur coats are taxed，less money is got but the tax is fairer，as the rich pay it.probably this last kind of indirect tax，together with a direct tax on incomes which is low for the poor and high for the rich，is the best arrangement.36the first paragraph tells us about the_.atax policiesbtaxable itemscarrangement of taxationdimportance of taxation37which of the following statements about income tax is not true in most countries?athe poorest pay no tax.bthe poor pay the same taxes as the rich.cthe rich pay more taxes than the poor.dthe rich pay a very high percentage of tax.38people who buy imported items in the shops have to pay duties_.ato the government

and，a decade later，citizens in shanghai will drink the best water in the world.these were the goals set by the shanghai water authority.with the citys population expected to increase only slightly and the economy to boom by 2020，chen yin，an official with the water authority，said shanghais water consumption will not increase from its present amount.zhang yue，director of the urban construction division under the ministry of construction，said，“shanghai is the first city in the country to publicize these ambitions.they will not be easy to achieve.”he said water saving will help keep the sustainable development of chinas economy.saving one cubic meter of water means saving the citys infrastructure(基础设施) costs by 10,000 yuan.last year，shanghai saved 300 million cubic meters of water either from readjustment of industrial structure or the employment of new technology.“the_aim is to arouse public awareness of the seriousness of water shortage，” chen said，“the abundant surface water and amount of rain of the city are so misleading that they result in improper use of water.”shanghai lacks drinkable water.the huangpu river，which supplies 80 percent of the citys drinkable water，is nearing exhaustion.the city，therefore，has been exploring new sources from the yangtze river and growing forests along it to conserve quality water.besides penning regulations，the authority is popularizing technology among the public to efficiently cut the amount of water used.at present，the city has 600,000 family toilets，each using 13 liters of water per flush.these are to be renovated(整修) to use only 9 liters of water per flush.the authority is renovating the first 200 toilets for householdsat a cost of 40 yuan each.in three years，all the toilets will be renovated，which saves the city nearly 15 million yuan every year in water conservation.another task the city is engaged in is the treatment of sewage(污水) to improve the water environment.at present the city can only treat 44 percent of its daily 5.04 million tons of waste water.to meet the total demand,27 more sewagetreatment factories are to be established with an estimated investment of 18 billion yuan.1the
