The money put aside for capital consumption is for replacement and thus is not counted as income. Indirect taxes include sales taxes, property taxes, and excise taxes that are paid by businesses directly to the government and so reduce the income left to pay for the factors of production. Three-fourths of national income goes for wages, salaries, and other forms of compensation to employees.Which of the following statements is true according to the paragraph?A、 GNP equals national income plus indirect business taxes.B、GNP excludes both capital consumption allowances and indirect business taxes.C> Personal income is regarded as the total money income received by an individual after his or her taxes are paid.D、 The money that goes for capital consumption is not regarded as income.【正确答案】D【答案解析】此题的依据是本段的The money put aside for capital consumption is for replacement and thus is not counted as income,这个句子。对原句的词语选项 D 用了别的表达方法，但大意仍保持不变。第30题【单项选择题】15【2009.01 The twin sisters were identical appearance and character.A、ofB、withC、inD、to【正确答案】c【答案解析】此题考查介词词义。句意：这对双胞胎姐妹的面容和性格都一模一 样。be identical to/with完全相同的，一模一样的。此题要说明在某个方面是一 样的，应选C。第31题【单项选择题】2010.04 By the end of next year the bridge.A、is to completeB、has been completedC、will be completedD、will have been completed【正确答案】D【答案解析】【译文】到明年年底之前，这座桥修建将完成。【试题分析】此题 考查语法。【详细解答】动词时态。by the end of到.时为止；在之前。将来 完成时态，用于表达在将来某时间以前已经完成的动作。第32题【单项选择题】填句补文】 Although the researchers have only just made the technical details of the microscope public, it is already on sale.
