Question

Rent(出租)a room
Spare room? Not only will a lodger (房客) earn you some money, but also, thanks to the government-backed “rent a room” program, you won’t have to pay any tax (稅) on the first ￡4,500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommateeasy.
Make money during special events
Don’t want a full-time lodger? Then rent on a short-term basis (基礎(chǔ)). If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money. Grashpadder can advertise your space.
Use your roof (屋頂)
You need the right kind of roof, but some energy companies pay the cost of fixing solar equipment (around￡14,000), and let you use the energy produced for nothing. In return, they get paid for unused energy fed back into the National Grid. However, you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier (供應(yīng)商), which could prevent you from changing the roof

Answer 1

BDC
本文主要是教給有空閑放在的人如何利用自己的空閑放在賺錢(qián)的一些技巧的事。
1.跟據(jù)文章“You won’t have to pay any tax on the first £4500 you make per year”可知出租房子所得金額4500英鎊以下是不用交稅的，所以5000英鎊應(yīng)交稅金額為5000-4500=500英鎊。所以本題選B。
2.根據(jù)you have to sign a 25-year agreement with the supplier (供應(yīng)商), which could prevent you from changing the roof. 可知，如果你想免費(fèi)用能源，你必須25年內(nèi)不能變屋頂。”所以本題選D。
3.通過(guò)閱讀本文主要是關(guān)于教給有空閑放在的人如何利用自己的空閑放在賺錢(qián)的一些技巧，所以本文最適合房子的主人閱讀。所以本題選D。
考點(diǎn)：本題考查日常生活類(lèi)文章
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本題的難度較大，需要認(rèn)真反復(fù)閱讀，從整體上先了解文章大意，然后根據(jù)問(wèn)題加以判斷選擇。對(duì)于第1小題，需要加以計(jì)算，而第3小題需要推斷，這都增加了難度。
