2 Fares on the city-run public buses in G are subsidized by city tax revenues, but among the beneficiaries of the low fares are many people who commute from outsidethe city to jobs in F. Some city councilors argue that city taxes should be used primarily to benefit the people who pay them, and therefore that bus fares should be raised enough to coverthe cost of the services
Ask: Weaken EXCEPT
D> voters in the city, many of whom benefit from the low transit fares , are strongly opposed to increasing local taxes
E> people woh work in G and earn wages above the natinally mandated minimum pay the city wage tax of 5% percent
Which one is correct, pls explain?

The answer must be D. E is a weaken choice.作者: primefang 时间: 2002-8-4 11:34
Tongxun， why D is a weaken choic, I agree with Juleyi it is an irrelevant choice作者: tongxun 时间: 2002-8-4 13:46
对不起，刚才让一个因为咱们坛里转了他的一篇机警，就来声讨的家伙给气走了，所以等他走我来。
大家还得再看看题。因为，议员的论调基于“低价让交税的人受益”，而E说明外来的也是交税的（这部分人是are many people who commute from outsidethe city to jobs in F），所以议员的提议是不正确的。
打个比方：城市公交车应该主要为城市建设出了力的市民服务，不应该让外省民工成车。但若民工也为城市的建设出了力呢？想想！作者: licheng 时间: 2002-8-5 03:54
