Question

5．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's a winner，right？Maybe，maybe not．We then discover that he bought $200 worth 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 politicians 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 seeks another term．One of her opponents 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 deception happens too often．It's a sad fact of life：lies are lies，and sometimes the truth can lie as well．

Answer 1

分析 本文主要講述了生活中的一種現(xiàn)象：用事實騙人，有的人只說出部分事實來欺騙別人，有的時候那也算是一種謊言．作者以此展開談論，舉出了一些事例來說明這一現(xiàn)象．

解答 28．答案：C．推理判斷題．根據(jù)"lies are lies，and sometimes the truth can lie as well．"可知，事實也會說謊，我們對我們聽到的東西要仔細辨別．故選C．
29．答案：C．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容可知，文中一共舉了三個事例．故選C．
30．答案：D．細節(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，用部分事實說謊并不違反法律，因為并不都是虛假信息，故A錯誤．根據(jù)"sometimes the truth can lie as well"可知，事實只是有時會說謊，并不完全是謊言，故B錯誤．根據(jù)"It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company"可知，這個做的是虛假廣告，那個藥不一定是好的，故C錯誤．根據(jù)"During Governor Smith's term，the state had a net gain of two million jobs"可知，史密斯在任期間就業(yè)的凈增長是200萬個工作，故D正確．故選D．
31．答案：B．主旨大意題．閱讀全文，根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容，尤其是"It's a sad fact of life：lies are lies，and sometimes the truth can lie as well．"，本文主要講述了事實有時會說謊．故選B．
