问题       Everyone knows that taxation is necessary in a modern state:  【21】______   it, it would not be possible to pay the soldiers and policemen who protect us;  【22】______   the workers in government offices who  【23】______   our health, our food, our water, and all  【24】______   things that we can not do for ourselves. By  【25】______   of taxation, we pay for things that we need as  【26】______   as we need somewhere to live and something to eat.
      In most countries, a direct tax on persons,  【27】______   is called income tax, exists. It is arranged in such a way that the poorest people pay  【28】______   , and the percentage of tax grows greater as the tax-payer’s   【29】______   grows. In England, for example, the tax on the  【30】______   people goes up as high as ninety-five percent!
   But countries with direct taxation nearly always have  【31】______   taxation too. Many things imported  into the country have to pay taxes or"duties".   【32】______   ,it is the men and women who buy the imported things in the shops who really  【33】______   pay the duties, in the  【34】______   of higher prices. In some countries, too, there is a tax  【35】______   things sold in the shops. If the most necessary things are taxed, a lot of money is collected, but the poor people suffer  【36】______   . If unnecessary things like jewels and fur coats are taxed,  【37】______   is obtained, but the tax is fairer, as the  【38】______   l pay it.
     Probably this last kind of indirect tax,  【39】______   with a direct on incomes which is low for the poor and high for the rich, is  【40】______   arrangement.

答案D
解析 这句话是说，“如果连日常必要的东西也要缴税，那么对穷人来说是最不利的(因为他们为了维系日常生活就必需在购买商品的同时缴纳与富人相同的税额，而他们的收入确与富人相差悬殊。)”
