问题
Fares on the city-run public buses in Greenville are subsidized by city tax revenues, but among the beneficiaries of the low fares are many people who commute from outside the city to jobs in Greenville. Some city councilors argue that city taxes should be used primarily to benefit the people who pay them, and therefore that bus fares should be raised enough to cover the cost of the service. Each of the following, if true, would weaken the argument advanced by the city councillors EXCEPT:
选项
A、Many businesses whose presence in the city is beneficial to the city’s taxpayers would relocate outside the city if public-transit fares were more expensive.
B、By providing commuters with economic incentives to drive to work, higher transit fares would worsen air pollution in Greenville and increase the cost of maintaining the city’s streets.
C、Increasing transit fares would disadvantage those residents of the city whose low incomes make them exempt from city taxes, and all city councillors agree that these residents should be able to take advantage of city-run services.
D、Voters in the city, many of whom benefit from the low transit fares, are strongly opposed to increasing local taxes.
E、People who work in Greenville and earn wages above the nationally mandated minimum all pay the city wage tax of 5 percent.
答案
D
解析
注意问题目的中的“EXCEPT”。本市议员的论述的前提是本市的税收应该主要让那些交税的人受益,其结论是公共汽车票价该上升。(D)表明许多本市的从低交通费中受益的选民反对增加本地的税收,也就是说他们不愿市政府通过增加他们的税收的办法来补偿交通费用的不足,由此推出在不增加税收和维持较低的交通费用两者之间,他们选择了前者。因此选项(D)对本市议员的论述起支持作用,为正确答案。(A)、(B)和(C)都通过找它因的方法削弱了本市议员的公共汽车票价应该上涨的结论;选项(E)削弱了本市议员论述的前提。
