　　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)選項中，選項A)和選項B)說得過于絕對，D)項用了both…and句型，所以D)為正確答案。但是，如果時間來得及，一定要到原文中驗證答案。由本段第一句話中“students as victims of stingy taxpayers”和第二句話中提到的當地的稅率較低這一點可知，當地的教育經費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，州政府也分擔教育經費。故驗證D)為正確答案。

　　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境問題的基本方法是什么，四個選項中D)項“避免價格波動”與題干無關，B)項“限制自然資源的消耗”和C)項“控制世界人口的增長”雖然有利于環境問題的解決，但不是基本解決方法。故A)項為正確答案。由文章最后一段話說：在價格和市場手段不能正常運轉的地方便會出現環境、能源等問題，可以推出：環境問題的解決之道便在于讓市場、價格手段正常地發揮作用，從而驗證A)項正確。
