Passage Two
Which of the following statements about the financial situation of the Alaska government is NOT true
A．89 percent of the state income comes from the oil revenue.
B．State sales tax and personal income tax constitute only a fraction of the state revenue.
C．With a two-month shutdown, the government may well find it difficult to make ends meet.
D．The state income is heavily dependent upon the Prudhoe Bay.
参考答案：B
解析：
[分析]： 事实细节的找寻和判断。 关于阿拉斯加州的财政情况，原文指出The state receives 89 percent of its income from oil revenue；Alaska has no state sales tax and no personal income tax. Without money coming in from Prudhoe Bay，Alaska’s government can operate for only about two months before going into the red... 即石油收入占该州收入89％，阿拉斯加州没有销售税和个人收入所得税。失去油田的这笔收入，该州政府的正常工作只能维持大约两个月，而后政府将负债。由此可见，A、C、D的说法均与原文相符，而B项与原文不符。[解题关键] 能够根据题干关键词正确定位到原文相关信息处，并将原文与选项内容仔细比较。
