　　When school officials in Kalkaska, Michigan, closed classes last week, the media flocked to the story, portraying the town’s 2,305 students as victims of stingy(吝嗇的)taxpayers.There is some truth to that; the property?tax rate here is one?third lower than the state average.But shutting their schools also allowed Kalkaska’s educators and the state’s largest teachers’ union, the Michigan Education Association, to make a political point.Their aim was to spur Passage of legislation ? Michigan lawmakers are debating to increase the state’s share of school funding.

　　Q： We learn from the Passage that schools in Kalkaska, Michigan, are funded .

　　A) mainly by the state government

　　B) exclusively by the local government

　　C) by the National Education Association

　　D) by both the local and state government

　　快速閱讀本段可知答案在A)、B)、D)選項(xiàng)中，選項(xiàng)A)和選項(xiàng)B)說得過于絕對(duì)，D)項(xiàng)用了both…and句型，所以D)為正確答案。但是，如果時(shí)間來得及，一定要到原文中驗(yàn)證答案。由本段第一句話中“students as victims of stingy taxpayers”和第二句話中提到的當(dāng)?shù)氐亩惵瘦^低這一點(diǎn)可知，當(dāng)?shù)氐慕逃��?jīng)費(fèi)一部分來自于地方的稅收;再由本段最后一句話中“the state?s share of school funding”可知，州政府也分擔(dān)教育經(jīng)費(fèi)。故驗(yàn)證D)為正確答案。

　　5.議論文中，那些符合一般常識(shí)的選項(xiàng)，富有深刻哲理，符合一般規(guī)律的選項(xiàng)常常是正確答案。

　　It is where prices and markets do not operate properly that this benign(良性的) trend begins to stumble, and the genuine problems arise.Markets cannot always keep the environment healthy.If no one owns the resource concerned, no one has an interest in conserving it or fostering it: fish is the best example of this.

　　Q： The primary solution to environmental problems is.

　　A) to allow market forces to operate properly

　　B) to curb consumption of natural resources

　　C) to limit the growth of the world population

　　D) to avoid fluctuations in prices

　　答案為A)。本題題干是問解決環(huán)境問題的基本方法是什么，四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中D)項(xiàng)“避免價(jià)格波動(dòng)”與題干無關(guān)，B)項(xiàng)“限制自然資源的消耗”和C)項(xiàng)“控制世界人口的增長”雖然有利于環(huán)境問題的解決，但不是基本解決方法。故A)項(xiàng)為正確答案。由文章最后一段話說：在價(jià)格和市場手段不能正常運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)的地方便會(huì)出現(xiàn)環(huán)境、能源等問題，可以推出：環(huán)境問題的解決之道便在于讓市場、價(jià)格手段正常地發(fā)揮作用，從而驗(yàn)證A)項(xiàng)正確。
