1.Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺騙)?When someone tells you something that is true,but leaves out important information that should be included,he can give you a false picture.
For example,someone might say,"I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票).It was great.I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!"
This guy is a winner,right?Maybe,maybe not.We then discover that he bought $ 200worth of tickets,and only one was a winner.He's really a big loser!
He didn't say anything that was false,but he left out important information on purpose.That's called a half-truth.Half truths are not technically lies,but they are just as dishonest.
Some officers often use this trick.Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term,her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs.Then she tries another term.One of the persons who don't support her says,"During Governor Smith's term,the state lost one million jobs!"That's true.However,an honest statement would have been,"During Governor Smith's term,the state had a net gain of two million jobs."
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths.It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth.An advertisement might say,"Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache."It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.
This kind of thing happens too often.It's a sad fact of life:Lies are lies,and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

34.We may infer that the author believes people shouldC.
A.buy lottery tickets if possible       
B.make use of half-truths
C.be careful about what they are told   
D.not trust the Yucky Company
35.How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive?C
A.One     
B.Two         
C.Three       
D.Four
36.Which of the following is true according to the passage?D
A.Using half truths is against the law.
B.Technically,half truths are in fact lies.
C.Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache.
D.Governor Smith did a good job during her last term.
37.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?B
A.He's really a big loser!
B.Sometimes the truth can lie.
C.Advertisers will sometimes use half truths.
D.It's against the law to make false statements.

分析 本文講了生活中的一種現(xiàn)象:用事實(shí)騙人.有的人只說出部分事實(shí)來欺騙別人,有的時(shí)候那也算是一種謊言.作者在文中舉了幾個(gè)例子來說明這一現(xiàn)象.

解答 34.C   推理判斷題   根據(jù)"Lies are lies,and sometimes the truth can lie as well 謊言是謊言,但是有的時(shí)候事實(shí)也會(huì)說謊."可知,我們對(duì)我們聽到的東西要仔細(xì)辨別.故答案為C
35.C   細(xì)節(jié)理解題   根據(jù)"For example,someone might say""Some officers often use this trick""Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths"可知,文中舉了三個(gè)例子.故答案為C
36.D    細(xì)節(jié)理解題  根據(jù)"It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth"可知,用部分事實(shí)說謊并不違反法律,因?yàn)椴⒉欢际翘摷傩畔,故A不正確;根據(jù)"sometimes the truth can lie as well"可知,事實(shí)只是有的時(shí)候會(huì)說謊,并不完全是謊言,故B不正確;根據(jù)"It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company"可知,這個(gè)做的是虛假?gòu)V告,那個(gè)藥不一定是好的,故C不正確;根據(jù)"her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs"可知,史密斯在任期間就業(yè)的凈增長(zhǎng)是200萬個(gè)工作,故D正確.
37.B   推理判斷題   作者在文章開頭提出話題Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive?,中間列舉了三個(gè)例子來證明事實(shí)也會(huì)欺騙人的情況,最后作者通過It's a sad fact of life:Lies are lies,and sometimes the truth can 1ie as well與開頭相呼應(yīng),故B選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容更能表達(dá)文章中心,答案選B.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做這道題時(shí)要通讀全文,弄清短文大意,然后在文中找出相關(guān)句子,根據(jù)句子選出最佳選項(xiàng).

6.Dear Sunday Globe,
I'm writing to you about your article in last Sunday's newspaper,"Cell Phones Make Life Easier."You did an excellent job explaining the good points of cell phones.They're (51)G and very helpful in business.We feel safer always being able to call someone.On the other hand,you didn't talk about their bad points (52)B.Thus,I hope you'll let me give your readers some advice on cell phone etiquette (禮儀).
The first point I'd like to address is loudness.When talking face to face (53)F,you wouldn't shout.Likewise,don't shout when you talk on your cell phone in public.In fact,the microphones in cell phones are so sensitive that you can be heard even if you speak(54)D.Furthermore,keep your ringer nice and quiet,and don't let it ring in meetings,at the movies,etc.
Another point that needs to be made is to (55)I personal space.I think it is very impolite to make calls in small spaces or (56)E rooms.This makes others uncomfortable and forces them to listen to your personal business.That's (57)C I use my cell phone at least three metres away from other people except in emergencies.
Lastly,let me draw your readers'attention to the dangers of doing two things at the same time.For example,cell phones and (58)A are a bad combination.Pay attention to the road!Besides,cell phones can cause you to neglect good friends.Give friends who are with you your full attention.Turn off your cell phone and enjoy their company!
Sincerely
Amber Jala
