All that we know about is the fact 7 government officials get monthly subsidies for business from www.yingyukaoshi.com

　　答案及題解

　　1. A on this account 或者on that account 的意思是為了這個緣故或者為了那個緣故，是固定搭配。

　　2. B indicating such an outcome 這個短語作為名詞report 的定語出現(xiàn)，說明這個report 是什么樣的，所以要用的不是謂語動詞，而是一個作定語的分詞，在indicating 和indicated 中應該選擇主動語態(tài)的indicating。

　　3.C 從上下文的語境中我們可以看出，杭州政府啟動了一項改革，從意義上來看，只有l(wèi)aunch 符合要求，其他選項都是表示“結束”的意思。在這里，launch 表示“開始，啟動”的意思

　　4. A involve in 后面應該跟動名詞或者名詞，C 選項中的maintenance 雖然是名詞形式，但后面應該加of，所以只有A 是合適的選項。

　　5. A such 用作前置限定詞時，其后通常跟a 及單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞，表示“這樣的、這種的、此類的”。Such that 表示“如此……以致……”。

　　6. A 介詞by 表示通過某種方式，by these measures 是表示“通過這些措施”的意思。

　　7. D 引導同位語從句時用關系連詞that。在本句中，that 引導的同位語從句具體解釋了fact 的內(nèi)容。

　　8. D ask for 有“索求”的意義，在這個句子中比較合適。其他選項provide，offer 和supply 都有“給予”的意義，用在這一語境中不成立。

　　9. A 兩個小句之間是因果關系，because 引導的小句表示的是原因，而therefore 和thus都只能引導表示結果的小旬：because of 后面只能是名詞或者名詞性質的短語。

　　10.C 這句話說的是納稅人因為擔心決策者做出有悖于他們利益的事而要求政策制定有透明度。satisfied 表示“滿意的”，不符合原句意義上的要求，由于同樣的原因，pleased指“高興的”，以及confused“疑惑的”也不符合。

　　11.B 根據(jù)語境，作者的意思是低級的公務員比高級公務員出差更多，因此補貼辦法是不合理的。

　　12.D whether 引導表示“是否”的賓語從句，that 引導表示陳述句的賓語從句。

　　13.C 不定式to increase 表示目的，“這項改革只是官員用車補的形式提高自己收入的一種手段”。

　　14.A levy 在這里是“征稅”的意思。

　　15.B 原意是“嚴格而透明的監(jiān)管”，因此“不透明的”、“模糊的”、“模棱兩可的”都不符合要求。
