三、阅读理解（本大题共10小题，每小题2分，共20分）
阅读下面的(武汉自考)短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳答案填空或答题，错选、多选或未选均无分。
Passage 1
Most people agree that taxes must be paid. Government couldn’t run without money. But people argue about how taxes should be collected.
Now the government works with a “progressive tax”. Not everyone pays the same percentage of his salary in taxes. Poor people are in a low tax bracket. They pay the smallest percentage of income in taxes. Middle-income workers pay a larger percentage than the poor. And the rich fall into the high tax brackets. Few rich people like the progressive tax.
The government took a poll. Among other people, the government talked to Ray Mathers and Eve Winick. “Let’s change to a flat rate tax,” Says Ray Mathers. “Everyone should be taxed the same percentage. It’s fair. And it’s easy to figure out.” Mathers is president of Trig Computer Company. He makes over $80,000 a year. “I don’ t want a flat rate income tax,” says Eve Winick. Winick is a grammar school teacher. Her school is in a poor neighborhood. She makes $14,000 a year. “I don’t care if it’s easier to figure out. What I want to know is, would I pay less tax?” Winick worries about her students’ parents. “Some of them can hardly support themselves. Why should they pay heavier taxes? They’re the people who need government services.”
Mathers thinks a flat rate would help in the long run. “The country could lower taxes after a while. See, if I paid fewer taxes, I’d save money. I’d put that money into my business and hire more people. Those people could pay taxes. Everybody would be better off.”
31. Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?
 A. The flat rate taxes everyone the same percentage.
 B. The progressive tax covers a percentage of people’s wages.
 C. Ray Mathers and Eve Winick answered a government poll.
 D. There is an argument over two different types of taxation.
32. You can infer that an unstated reason Mathers likes the flat rate tax is that _________.
 A. it is easy to figure out  B. he probably pays heavy taxes
 C. it is fair   D. he is poor
33. The people who are presently supposed to pay the highest percentage of their income in taxes are the _________.
 A. rich  B. middle class  
 C. poor  D. businessmen
34. Winick does not want a flat rate tax, because _________.
 A. she is rich
 B. the flat rate tax is hard to figure out
 C. she might have to pay more taxes
D. the flat rate fax is unfair to the rich
35. The phrase “better off” (in the last sentence of the passage) means _
