The United States operates under a federal system of government. Under the federal system, power is divided between the central government and the states. The central government is given specific powers. These powers are named in the Constitution. Powers that are not assigned to the central government in the Constitution belong to the states.
The central government can pass laws that affect trade between states. The central government can also make treaties with foreign countries. It has the power to print money. The Constitution gives the central government these powers. These powers belong to the central government only. However, the states have many powers that the central government cannot control. For example, a state is allowed to tax people who live and work in the state. The central government cannot put a limit on the amount of money that a state taxes its people.
Many people feel that the federal system has many good points. One good point is that it restrains the power of the central government. The central government cannot become too powerful. Another good point is that the central government makes sure that the bigger states don’t become too powerful. Under the Constitution, all states are treated equally. The laws of the central government do not favour one state over another.

17. What is one of the powers of the state governments, according to the passage?
18. According to the passage, what is a good point about the federal system?
选项
A、Printing money.

C、Making treaties with foreign countries.
D、Passing laws affecting trade between states.
答案
B

选项中的determining state taxes,making treaties和passing laws表明,本题可能与某项权力有关。短文中提到,州政府拥有一些不受中央政府控制的权力,接下来举例说明,其中提到中央政府不能限制州政府征税的金额,也就是说州政府有决定本州税金的权利,故答案为B)。
