It is often difficult for a man to be quite sure what tax he ought to pay to the govemment be-
cause it depends on so many different things: whether the man is married; how many children he
has; whether he supports any relations; how much he earns; how much interest he receives; how
much he has spent on his house during the year, and so on and so forth. All this makes it difficult to decide exactly how much the tax is.
There was a certain artist who was always very careful to pay the proper amount.
One year, after posting his check as usual, he began to wonder if he had paid enough, and af ter a lot of work, with a pencil and paper, he decided that he had not. He believed that he owed the government something.
He was just writing another check to send to the tax-collector when the postman dropped a let ter into the box at the front door. Opening it, the artist was surprised to find inside it a check for five pounds from the tax-collector. The official explained that too much had been paid, and that therefore the difference was now returned to the taxpayer.

[ A] how much education one has received
[ B ] whether one is single or married
[ C] how old one" s children are
[ D] where one lives请帮忙给出正确答案和分析,谢谢!
参考答案
正确答案:B
参考译文C一个人往往很难确切地知道他应该向政府交多少税。交税的金额由很多方面决定:是否已婚、孩子的多少、是否要资助亲戚、挣多少钱、能得到多少利息以及每年在房子上花费多少钱等等。所有这些方面使得很难决定税款的确切数额。有个艺术家,他总是很小心地缴纳合适的税款数额。有一年,他照例邮寄了纳税支票后,却开始怀疑自己是否交足了税额。用纸笔经过一番计算后,他认为自己没有交够,还欠政府一些钱。但是正在他写另一张缴税支票时,邮递员在他前门的邮箱里放了一封信。打开后,艺术家惊奇地发现原来是税务官寄来的£5的支票。税务官解释说,他的税额交多了,因此,多余的税款现在要退还纳税人。答案及解析65.B【解析】事实细节题。题干意为“文章提到,一个人应该根据什么来缴税?”由文章的第一段第一句话看出,一个人所缴税款是由很多方面决定的。whetherthemanismarried是其中的一项。所以正确的答案为B。
