Question

18．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，some 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  $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．

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

Answer 1

分析 謊言能騙人，但是你相信事實(shí)也能騙人嗎？在本文中作者介紹了有些人是如何利用部分事實(shí)來進(jìn)行欺騙的，比如廣告中說"十個(gè)醫(yī)生中有九個(gè)會(huì)建議他們的病人服用Yucky Pills來治療牙痛"，但是他們沒提到的事實(shí)是：被問到的這十個(gè)醫(yī)生中有九人是Yucky Pills公司的．

解答 29．D推理判斷題．作者在文章開頭用Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive？引出話題，然后給出例子來說明這一情況，由此推斷作者目的是提醒人們要注意別人告訴他們的話，答案選D．
30．C細(xì)節(jié)理解題．文章在第二、三、四段分別講述了買彩票，政客以及廣告中利用部分事實(shí)來進(jìn)行欺騙的例子，故答案選C．
31．D根據(jù)文章第三段her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs．可知在她的任職期間就業(yè)的凈增長(zhǎng)是兩百萬份工作，所以她的工作是杰出的，其他選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容錯(cuò)誤，答案選D．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 故事類文章在閱讀過程中，我們一直在某個(gè)線索的引導(dǎo)下，隨著作者的思路去了解一個(gè)故事或一件事情的始末，因此會(huì)感到比較輕松．命題往往從故事的情節(jié)、人物或事件之間的關(guān)系、作者的意圖和態(tài)度、故事的前因和后果等方面入手，考查學(xué)生對(duì)細(xì)節(jié)的辨認(rèn)能力以及推理判斷能力． 閱讀故事類文章時(shí)，應(yīng)注意把握主旨大意，弄清主要情節(jié)，立足文章的內(nèi)容揣摩作者的態(tài)度和意圖，根據(jù)文章的情節(jié)展開合理的想象，從而達(dá)到解題的目的．
