Narrator
Listen to a talk between two students.
Student A Hi, Gilbert!
Student B Hi, Sally! You look so depressed. Anything wrong?
Student A I’m really worried about paying my tuition for the next term at school.
Student B Why? Are you having financial problems?
Student A Yeah. School fees are getting so high. I may have to cut back on my classes and work more hours to earn more.
Student B I understand why you are worried about that. Every year it seems to me that more students worry about tuition.
Student A I agree. And it’s hard to study full-time and hold down any kind of job.
Student B Have you thought about applying for financial aid?
Student A You know, I have, but the real problem is that so many people apply and there’s just not enough financial aid available.
Student B Have you thought about other ways?
Student A What do you mean? Is there any other way to solve this problem?
Student B Maybe you could qualify for some kind of student loan that you would repay after you finish studying. You should go to the financial aid office and see what the requirements are. Student A I suppose that’s true. Sometimes I wish the cost of education was completely covered by the government. It would sure make my life easier.
Student B Maybe, but somebody would still be paying for it. Just not you right now. And I am sure you don’t want to pay higher taxes to cover the cost.
Student A The real problem is that you just can’t give everybody what they want. More services and programs always mean more taxes.
Student B Don’t you think that’s true everywhere, and in a lot of different situations? I’m sure we’re not the only ones who are worried about this.
Student A Oh, I think it’s quite clear that a lot of people worry about this.
Student B Yeah. That’s true. Everybody would like to have a good education and thus has to pay.
Student A With a good education becoming more and more necessary to get a good job, I think more people will need to worry about this in the future. I can’t even pay for myself! How am I supposed to save up to pay for my kids to go to school?
Student B Hey, when you find the answer to that one, be sure to tell me! You could make a lot of money selling that piece of advice.
Student A Ha, ha! That would be wonderful!
Student B So just cheer up! Nothing is insolvable.
Student A Well, I’ve just got to try! Thanks! Student B Don’t mention it.
Now get ready to answer the questions. You may use your notes to help you answer.

Hey, when you find the answer to that one, be sure to tell me! You could make a lot of money selling that piece of advice.

答案
B
解析
本题为信息关联题中的内在关系题,要求考生能够把握要点之间的内在关系。题目问:政府职能与税收之间的关系是什么?对话中,其中一个说话人说道:“Sometimes I wish the costof education was completely covered by the government.It would sure make my life easier(有时我希望教育费用全部由政府来承担,那样我的生活肯定宽裕多了)”,但另一说话人紧接着说道:“Maybe.but somebody would still be paying for it…And I am sure you don’t want to pay higher—taxes to cover-the cost(也许吧,但总归还是要有人来支付这些费用……我肯定你也不想纳更多的税来填补这些费用)”,由此可分析出免费服务(免收学费)其实并不现实,最后还是由纳税人来负担。因而,选项B为正确答案。
