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. Moreover, the percentage of assessed value that was paid as property taxes to the city did not change during this period.
The information above most strongly supports which of the following?
A. Money collected from property taxes provided most of Altonville’s revenue during the past four years.
B. The percentage of Altonville’s overall revenue that was collected from property taxes did not change over the past four years.
C. Altonville officials had proposed raising property tax rates during the past four years but never did so because of strong opposition from property owners.
D. The total amount of revenue that Altonville has collected from property taxes has declined over the past four years.
E. During the past four years, Altonville officials also did not increase tax rates on other sources of revenue such as retail sales or business profits.
题目分析：原文读的乱七八糟（可能是今天发烧的原因，原文根本读不下去），用一种蒙的方法做，错就错一个，A说从税中的钱提供大多数收入，原文读的再乱这个选项也没有提过，干掉。B说percentage（我发现这个词汇原文最后一句话提过，开头就提原文的明显词汇，这个选项不怀好意），果然，凑面说的是从property taxes收上来的收入的百分比，原文提的是评估价值的百分比，明显张冠李戴，杀。C说官员proposed，带有主观意愿（逻辑原文为了保持逻辑严密，一般是没有感情的，感情越丰富，逻辑越跳跃，就像一流的诗人永远是逻辑混乱的一样），所以当选项中带有主观意愿的时候，这个选项错误的可能性很大。D说total amount of revenue（原文说过revenue这个词，在原文提到过的词汇前面加了一个total，这个修饰词可能会使此选项的范围了原文范围不是完全一样，但是有交叉，交叉的越少这个选项越容易被考生排除，例如：原文说英吉喝水，有一个选项说所有人都在喝水，此选项和原文是有关系的，但是范围不是完全一样），当一个选项开头出现了一个原文曾经提到过的名词并在前面加入一个修饰词汇的时候，这个选项的表达方式像对的。E选项说other sources，显然范围不对，杀。
