标题: [求助]大全-A-2
2.

Which of the following best completes the passage below?


One tax-reform proposal that has gained increasing support in recent years is the flat tax, which would impose a uniform tax rate on incomes at every level. Opponents of the flat tax say that a progressive tax system, which levies a higher rate of taxes on higher-income taxpayers, is fairer, placing the greater burden on those better able to bear it. However, the present crazy quilt of tax deductions, exemptions, credits, and loopholes benefits primarily the high-income taxpayer, who is consequently able to reduce his or her effective tax rate, often to a level below that paid by the lower-income taxpayer. Therefore, ______


(A) higher-income taxpayers are likely to lend their support to the flat-tax proposal now being considered by Congress


(B) a flat-tax system that allowed no deductions or exemptions would substantially increase actual government revenues


(C) the lower-income taxpayer might well be penalized by the institution of a flat-tax system in this country


(D) the progressive nature of our present tax system is more illusory than realD


(E) the flat tax would actually be fairer to the lower-income taxpayer than any progressive tax system could be

D是对的啊.E说比FLAT TAX比任何PROGESSIVE TAX SYSTEM都公平,原文能得出这样的结论吗?原文只是提出了现在的PROGRESSIVE TAX SYSTEM有不当之处而已.

我也知道E选项有过于绝对的问题,可是D选项也没有说什么实质的东西,从原文中如何能得到“目前的税制的累进特性只是比现实更虚幻”这个选项怎么看看不象是GMAT的答案。

illusory意思是不实际的,D的意思就是说现在的TAX CODE有名无实的意思啊.跟原文的意思很一致啊.

多谢指点,可是到考试时,遇到类似的答案还是不敢选,总觉得这种答案太空洞了,不像是正式的答案。没有办法,慢慢体会吧。
