For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You shou
19、ld make the correct choice 35 It would be difficult to have a society like ours without public goods such as defense, transportation, and other services. A public good is one that a person can use without reducing the use of it for another person. One of the best examples of a pubic good is national
20、 defense. One person can benefit from our national defense without reducing another persons benefits. In fact, it is difficult to keep any person in our society from enjoying the benefits of national defense. The market system does not work well in producing public goods. This is because a person wh
21、o refuses to pay for a public good cannot be kept from using it. Suppose that the neighbors in a high crime area decide to hire a police force. Each neighbor, except Mrs. Smith, agrees to pay $100 a year for it. Mrs. Smith refuses to pay because she knows that if all the others pay the $100, the pol
22、ice will guard the area anyway. So Mrs. Smith can enjoy the services of the police force without paying $100. The market system has no way to deal with this type of problem. For this reason, we cannot ask each person to make a direct payment in the form of product price. Therefore, we collect money
23、for public goods by using taxes. 36 According to the passage, public goods are _. （ A） services enjoyed by all people （ B） what we can buy and sell in public （ C） products that we make for national defense （ D） taxes paid by the people involved 37 The writer gives the example of national defense in
24、paragraph 2 in order to show that _. （ A） there will be no safety if there is no national defense （ B） all the people should be responsible for national defense （ C） a public good is a shared benefit for the whole society （ D） some public goods are more important than others 38 The person who does n
25、ot pay for a public good_. （ A） keeps himself from using its benefit （ B） cannot enjoy its benefit at any time （ C） fails to keep its benefit from being used （ D） enjoys its benefit all the same 39 In the third paragraph the author explains _. （ A） what role the market system plays in producing publ
26、ic goods （ B） how weak the market system is in producing public goods （ C） why some people refuse to pay for public goods （ D） what we can do to make use of the market system 40 From the passage we learn that the purpose of collecting taxes is to_. （ A） ensure the continuous supply of public goods （
27、 B） reduce the difference between the rich and the poor （ C） get extra money to support public goods （ D） remind people of their duty Task 2 Directions： This task is the same as Task 1 The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45 40 Rockwatch The Best Club on Earth If you are
