4．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$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 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．

31．The underlined word"opponents"in Paragraph 3meansA．
A．enemy    B．partner    C．cooperator   D．a(chǎn)ssistant
32．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
33．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．
34．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．
35．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 as well．
C．Advertisers will sometimes use half truths．
D．It's against the law to make false statements．

32    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(shuō)謊．"可知，我們對(duì)我們聽(tīng)到的東西要仔細(xì)辨別．故答案為C
33    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

15．A failed plot to kill Barack Obama，uncovered by US federal agents recently，has reminded people of the ideas that some humans associate with simple numbers．
Two white American Neo-Nazi racists （新納粹種族主義者） had planned to kill 88African Americans，before finally assassinating （暗殺） Obama．The number"88"is equated with"HH"，initials （首字母） for the Nazi greeting，"Heil Hitler"．"H"is the eighth letter of the alphabet．
Many people were not familiar with the Neo-Nazi importance of 88，but associations attached to other numbers are more well-known，if not always believed．The number 13，for instance，is considered deeply unlucky．
In the US，many buildings do not have a floor numbered 13．They instead label it 12A，or use the letter M，which is the 13th letter in the English alphabet．New York's John F．Kennedy International airport does not have a gate number 13．And the popular Irish flight carrier，Ryan Air，has banished （摒棄） row 13from all its planes．
Last year when Brussels Airline put 13dots in their new logo，the flood of complaints was so vast the airline was forced to change their"unlucky logo"and add an additional dot．
The fear comes from a Bible story，which states that Judas Iscariot，the disciple （門徒） who betrayed （出賣） Jesus，was the 13th to sit at the table in the Last Supper．
But the most fascinating fear of the number relates to Friday the 13th．It's a day of double bad luck．In the US，many people would not schedule a wedding for Friday the 13th．According to the Stress Management Center and Phobia Institute in the US，an estimated 17to 21million Americans are affected by a fear of this day．

51．From the first two paragraphs，we can know thatC．
A．a(chǎn) lot of Americans want to kill Barack Obama
B．the number 88is equated with 13
C．there are still racists in the US
D．the two white Americans had killed 88African Americans before killing Barack Obama
52．When you go aboard the Ryan Air，you will probably find thatD．
A．row 13is replaced with 12A
B．there is no gate 13
C．passengers complain that there is 13dots on its logo
D．none of their planes have row 13
53．If you are in the US，you will probably notA．
A．live on the 13th floor   B．a(chǎn)ttend a wedding on Saturday the 14th
C．see a floor numbered 3   D．have an M floor
54．From the passage，we can know that the Brussels AirlineB．
A．doesn't have row 13                B．has 14dots on its logo
C．has no flight take off on Fridays   D．was once stuck in a flood
55．From the last paragraph but one，we can learn thatD．
A．Jesus wrote the Bible
B．Judas was the 13th disciple of Jesus
C．Judas read a Bible story in the Last Supper
D．Judas betrayed Jesus．

19．Do you know that the first documented use of OMG （oh my god） was in 1917，or that LOL was once a common term meaning little old ladies in 1960？That's what the world learned when OMG，LOL and FYI （for your information） were added to the Oxford English Dictionary last week．This dictionary is considered by many people to be the reference book that defines the English language．
    Words added to the Oxford English Dictionary are truly considered new members of the language．People invent new words all the time，but only a few become popular enough to get defined in dictionaries．
Typed online or in text messages，LOL，OMG and FYI are initialisms（首字母縮略詞），which can be said aloud letter by letter．Faster to type than the full phrases，initialisms like these have been used online since the 1990s．But these three online terms are now spoken outside the Internet too，making them different from other online lingo （行話）．Dictionary editors thought that the words were used so commonly that they had to be defined this year．
    Another important addition to the dictionary this year was，as in"I   NY"．This
is the first graphic （圖形的） symbol ever defined in the Oxford English Dictionary．The editors added   as a verb under the definition of"heart"，meaning"to love"．
Some slang words-informal language used more commonly in speech than in writing-were also added，like wassup，a shortened way to say"What's up？"Even the words that have been in use for many years，like biker and happy camper，were finally added to the dictionary．
The Oxford English Dictionary now defines more than 600，000 words．That adds up to more than 21，730 pages!Guinness World Records calls it the longest dictionary in the world．The Oxford English Dictionary is known for recording words of all kinds-popular，outdated，and even foreign words used by English speakers throughout the language's long history．
68．The passage is mainly about the fact thatA
A．expressions like LOL and FYI have been added to the Oxford English Dictionary
B．many English words change their meanings with the time passing by
C．the English language is becoming more and more difficult to learn
D．the Oxford English Dictionary breaks Guinness World Records

A．Some online terms are added to it．
B．Graphic symbol is first introduced into it．
C．Some slang words are collected in it．
D．Some outdated words are left out by it．
70．Before any new word is added to the update of the Oxford English Dictionary，itC
A．must be spread widely on the Internet
B．must be used commonly by the editors
C．must be used widely in either spoken or written language
D．must be shortened with large letters
71．It can be inferred that the Oxford English DictionaryB

9．A winter wonderland on the outskirts of Quebec City has become one of Canada's hottest attractions and most sought out accommodations．Guests stay close for warmth in sleeping bags on beds of ice，hats pulled over their ears to prevent frostbite，while sipping cocktails （雞尾酒） in glasses also made of ice．
A cool place to host a memorable wedding or for a romantic getaway，the Quebec Ice Hotel has attracted 600，000 curious tourists，including 30，000 who stayed overnight，since opening seasonally 11 years ago．Like Victoria and Jeremy Martin，dozens of couples will exchange vows （誓約） this winter in a temporary church next to the hotel，sculpted entirely from blocks of ice with seats covered in furs．
Average temperatures fall below minus 20 degrees C （minus four F） in winter，but inside the hotel's 36 rooms it is relatively cozy．Thick walls of packed snow and ice act as an insulator，trapping body heat inside．Each room is uniquely decorated，using designs created by Quebec architecture students．Two hotel bars also sell special cocktails in ice glasses．
First-time guests of the hotel，however，are recommended to stay only one night as sleeping in sub-zero temperatures is not very refreshing．This year for the first time the ice hotel has teamed up with a bricks and concrete Quebec City hotel to offer packages for one-night accommodations at each．Prices for one night only at the ice hotel start at 200 US dollars per person．
The 3，000-square-metre （32，300-square-feet） buildings take six weeks starting in December to build，using 15，000 tonnes of snow and 500 tonnes of ice，at a cost of some 750，000 US dollars．Eleven weeks after its seasonal grand opening，the hotel will close on March 27 and then melt away with the arrival of spring．
56．What is true with the ice hotel？D
A.630，000 people have visited it
B.30，000 people visit it each year．
C．It has stayed open for many years
D．Wedding ceremonies are often held there．

A．stops heat passing through   it          B．collects and reflects light and heat 
C．makes things become very cold            D．works like an air-conditioner
58．What can we learn about the hotel rooms？B
A．It can be-20°C inside．B．The temperature is always below 0°C．
C．The rooms all look alike．D．Each room costs $200 per night．

A．they may not be able to stand the cold
B．their other night is with an ordinary hotel
C．new guests have less advantages over old ones
D．the first-day service is just for a test run

A．it doesn't exist at all                
B．it is just being built
C．most of its rooms are vacant        
D．it is crowded with guests．
