1.         GWD-29-Q17

The total market value of real estate in Altonville has steadily declined over the past four years.  This decline has meant that the overall figure on which the city’s property tax is based—the assessed value of that real estate—has also declined.  The percentage of assessed value that was paid as property taxes to the city, however, did not change from year to year during this period.

 

 

The information above most strongly supports which of the following?

 

 

1. The percentage of Altonville’s yearly revenue that comes from money collected in property taxes did not change over the past four years.
2. The percentage of Altonville’s yearly revenue that comes from money collected in property taxes has declined steadily over the past four years.
3. The amount of revenue that Altonville collected from property taxes was lower last year than it was four years ago.
4. During the past four years, Altonville officials increased tax rates on other sources of revenue such as retail sales and business profits.
5. Altonville will soon require property owners to pay a higher percentage of the assessed value of their property as property tax.

   Answer: C

这题好像没有讨论过，N人来看看吧。

根据题干应该是归纳吧。

为什么C不对呀，价值一直在下降，百分比没有改变，总的收入应该是下降的呀，而最后一个选项是推测，不一定就会提高百分比呀，我觉得C是直接从题目中来的，C正确吧，请教各位。

C should be correct

这题我虽然做对了，但今天总结的时候发现C中的时间范围好像有问题：The amount of revenue that Altonville collected from property taxes was lower last year than it was four years ago.

而题目中比较的是did not change from year to year during this period

不过实在是没有更好的答案了。

大家怎么看？

税率没变,总值变小,所以收到的税变小的阿

revenue是收到的钱,sale是卖的量,rate是率,这些在数学上很常用,表混淆了(题外话,跟本题无关)

感觉没有问题啊。 from year to year during this period是指这个时期每年的 rate是固定不变的。。。
