Beware of those who use the truth to cheat. When someone tells you something that is 36 , but leaves out important information that should be 37 , he can create a false impression.
For example, someone might say, “I just 38 a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and 39 it for one hundred dollars!”
This guy’s a winner, 40 ? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred 41 , and only one was a winner. He’s really a big 42 !
He didn’t say anything that was 43 , but he deliberately left out some important 44 . That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically 45 , but they are just as not 46 .
Untrustworthy candidates in 47 campaigns often use this strategy. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and 48 three million jobs. Then she 49 another term. One of her opponents runs an advertisement 50 , “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. 51 , an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of 52 million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s 53 the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the 54 . An advertisement might boast (吹噓), “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It 55 to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of cheat happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

解析試題分析:這篇文章通過三個例子來講述了一個事實:謊言可以騙人,但是真相同樣可以騙人。人們要注意生活中的“half truth”也就是真假參半的陳述,不要被其蒙騙。
【小題1】B 形容詞辨析。A 假的;B 真實的;C 有趣的;D 枯燥的。從上下文可知文章要講述的是利用真相來進行欺騙的情況,那么他們告訴你的應(yīng)該是真實的事情,所以B選項正確。
【小題2】A動詞辨析。A 包括;B 包含,含有(某種成分);C 牽扯,涉及;D 參考,提及。由下文買彩票贏錢的例子推斷得知,漏掉的信息是應(yīng)該包括在內(nèi)的,否則會讓人產(chǎn)生錯覺。A為正確選項。
【小題3】D動詞辨析。A 丟失,喪失,輸?shù)簦?B 找到,發(fā)現(xiàn);C 捐贈;D 贏。根據(jù)后面It was great判斷這個人很高興,所以推測出他應(yīng)該是買彩票贏了,正確選項為D。
【小題4】A動詞辨析。A 交換,換成;B 拿,帶走;C 轉(zhuǎn)向,變成;D 制作。從上文可知這個人買彩票贏了,所以應(yīng)該是拿著面值一美元的彩票回到商店兌換成了100美元,swap…for 把。。。換成,所以A選項正確。
【小題5】A副詞辨析。A 正確,對;B 好 ; C 真地; D 盡管。由后面的We then discover that he bought two hundred …and only one was a winner.判斷,此處應(yīng)該表示對前面敘述情況的懷疑,所以A選項正確。
【小題6】C上下文串聯(lián)。A 書; B 報紙,論文; C 票,罰單;D 球,舞會。從上文I took that dollar ticket back to the store可知他買的是彩票,所以正確選項是C。
【小題7】B名詞辨析。A 獲勝者,贏家;B 輸家;C 戰(zhàn)斗機,戰(zhàn)斗者;D思想家。根據(jù)前面敘述可知他買了200張,才中了一張,總的來說他應(yīng)該是個輸家。所以正確選項為B。
【小題8】D形容詞辨析。A 真實的;B 真的;C 懷疑的;D 假的。從上文買彩票的例子可知這個人沒說謊話,但是沒有說出全部真相,而且從后面的That’s called a half-truth.也可以判斷正確答案選D。
【小題9】B名詞辨析。A 細節(jié);B 信息;C 錯誤;D 錯誤,過錯。上面敘述的內(nèi)容告訴我們買彩票的人沒有說謊,但是卻故意漏掉一個事實,即:他花200美元買了200張彩票,卻只有一張中獎。所以漏掉的應(yīng)該是一些事實信息,由此判斷B選項正確。
【小題10】D名詞辨析。A 故事; B 真相;真理;C 事實; D 謊言。買彩票的人半真半假的陳述讓人產(chǎn)生錯覺而且后面用了轉(zhuǎn)折連詞but ,由此判斷,half-truth會和謊言一樣起到誤導(dǎo)人的作用,所以D選項正確。句意:雖然部分真實的話不是嚴(yán)格意義上的謊言。
【小題11】C形容詞辨析。A 令人愉悅的;B 令人興奮的C 誠實的;D 聰明的。從下文選舉的例子可知,政客們用half-truth去欺騙民眾,讓人產(chǎn)生錯誤的印象,所以half-truth應(yīng)該是和謊言一樣是不誠實的。從句意判斷C為正確選項。
【小題12】A形容詞辨析。A 政治的;B商業(yè)的;C 個人的;D 公共的。由“Governor Smith’s term,candidates opponents”這些詞語可以判斷應(yīng)該是政治活動,所以A選項正確。
【小題13】D動詞辨析。A 停止;B 發(fā)現(xiàn),認為;C 避免;D 獲得。從前面lost 判斷,此處應(yīng)該是意思相對的詞,她的政府失去100萬份工作,得到300萬份工作。所以D選項正確。
【小題14】A 動詞辨析。A 尋求,試圖;B 得到;C 實現(xiàn),獲得;D 尋找。下文“During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” 她的對手對她進行不好的宣傳暗示出她仍具有競爭性,應(yīng)該是想再連任一屆,所以A為正確選項。
【小題15】C動詞辨析。A 寫;B 讀;C 說;寫著(指書面材料或者可見的東西上提供信息或指示)D 說話,演講。廣告本身不會讀,寫說,習(xí)慣上用read或者say等動詞表示上面顯示的內(nèi)容,比如:The notice said“Keep Out”。所以C選項正確。
【小題16】B 連接詞的考查。A 否則;B然而;C 實際上;D 這邊請。That’s true和后面的an honest statement would have been…,是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,所以B為正確選項。
【小題17】B細節(jié)考查。從上文“her state lost one million jobs and …three million jobs.”判斷,工作凈增長為兩百萬。所以B選項正確。
【小題18】C介詞辨析。根據(jù)常識可知廣告商做出虛假的聲明是違法的,所以應(yīng)該用against the laws。答案選C。
【小題19】D,名詞辨析。A 單詞,話語;B 事實;C 數(shù)據(jù);D 真相,真理。整篇文章是講述利用half truth來騙人,而且Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths.也是一個提示,所以判斷D選項正確。
【小題20】A動詞辨析。A 失;B 嘗試;C 管理,設(shè)法做;D 計劃。這是又一個用half truth來騙人的例子,所以他們應(yīng)該是只講述部分真實的情況,而沒有提到那十個醫(yī)生中有9個是為他們做事的事實。故A選項正確。
考點:考查社會現(xiàn)象類短文閱讀。

Thanks to a combination of young businessmen, large numbers of university students and revitalization (新生) efforts by the local and national governments, today’s Nanjing has an of youthful exuberance (繁茂) that would have been only a few decades ago. , the city, a booming city of 6.5 million on the banks of the Yangtze River some 185 miles west of Shanghai, bears resemblance to the former capital of China that suffered the worst cruelty and violence of World War II.
Nanjing has shown a remarkable capacity for reinvention during its 2,500-year history. And in recent years, the city has moved its tragic past to become a vital engine of China’s economic growth, thanks to its position in the middle of China’s prosperous eastern seaboard. Growth has also thanks to improved ground transportation: A new bullet train linking Nanjing and Shanghai started service last year, travel time between the cities from several hours to just 75 minutes, and a Beijing-Shanghai high-speed line is to open later this year, with a stop in Nanjing. Within the city, two metro lines were built in the last few years; 15 more are planned to begin service by 2030.
Signs of Nanjing’s wealth and optimism can be seen everywhere. In the heart of the downtown Xinjiekou district, a bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen, the father of modern China, looks over a busy area.
There is perhaps no more symbol of the city’s transformation than the Zifeng Tower, a 1,480-foot skyscraper that opened its doors last May. offices, restaurants and an InterContinental hotel, the tower is the second-tallest building in China and billed as the seventh-tallest in the world.
Underlying all this development is a large Chinese and student population — there are several major universities, plus a branch of Johns Hopkins’s international studies school. In fact, art and music in all sorts of places.
On a larger , local government officials and private investors are pushing the city as a rising center for contemporary art and architecture, hoping to attract from the neon-bathed streets of its neighbor Shanghai.

At the age of 11, Peter Lynch started caddying(當(dāng)球童) at Brae Burn Country Club in Newton, Mass. “It was better than a newspaper carrier, and much more profitable,” the Fidelity vice chairman recalls. He kept it up during the summers for almost a decade. “You get to know the course and can give the golf players advice about how to approach various holes,” he says. “Where else, at age 15 or 16, can you serve as a trusted adviser to high-powered people?”
One of those people was George Sullivan, then president of Fidelity’s funds, who was so impressed with Lynch’s smarts that he hired him in 1966. “There were about 75 applicants for 3 job openings,” Lynch says now. “But I was the only one who had caddied for the president for 10 years.”
In between caddying and managing money, Lynch went to Boston College on a scholarship from a program called the Francis Ouimet Fund. Named after the 1913 winner of the U.S. Open, the fund launched in 1949 which is open to Massachusetts kids only. Ouimet executive director Robert Donovan says, “Help with college is a logical extension of friendly relation between golfers and their favorite caddies, because there is a close tie to train up them to be excellent that happens between the players and the kids who carry their golf poles. And for the teens, caddying is all about being around successful role models.”
It is obvious that caddies who are finally successful include all kinds of outstanding personnel, from actor Bill Murray, to New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, to former GE chairman and CEO Jack Welch.
Of course, the great number of financial giants who caddied in their youth might be coincidence, but Dick Connolly thinks not. “Caddying life teaches you a lot about business, and about life,” he says. “You learn to show up early and look people in the eye when you shake their hand, and you learn how to read people -- including who’s likely to cheat and who isn’t.” Connolly is a longtime investment advisor at Morgan Stanley’s Boston office, a former Ouimet scholarship student and, along with Peter Lynch and Roger Altman, one of the program’s biggest supporters. He wants to share the most important lesson he learned on the links, so he says: “One golfer I caddied for told me that if you want to succeed in any field -- golf or business -- you have to spend a lot of lonely hours, either practicing or working, when you’d rather be partying with your friends. That’s true, and it stuck with me.”
【小題1】Which of the following may Peter Lynch agree about caddying?
A.He could have a relaxing job as a caddie. |
B.He could make more money from the golf players. |
C.His duty was to advise the players how to play golf. |
D.His caddying experiences contributed to his later career. |
A.Because of the advice from the rich golf players. |
B.Because of those giants with caddying experiences. |
C.Because of the great success the caddies have achieved. |
D.Because of the friendly relation between golfers and their caddies. |
A.helps you learn to live with loneliness |
B.teaches you a lot about business and life |
C.makes it possible to meet with great people |
D.offers you chances to communicate with others |
A.Legend of Peter Lynch. |
B.An introduction of Golf Caddying. |
C.Golf Caddying into Future Success. |
D.Five Giants with Caddying Experiences. |

We walked in so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn't even lift her eyes from the book. Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down. While I watched mouth open in surprise, Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop. She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, Mum nodded and said, "Very dirty floors."
"Yes, I'm glad they've finally decided to clean them, "the nurse answered. She looked at Mum strangely and said, "But aren't you working late?"
Mum just pushed harder, each swipe(拖一下)of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book.
After a long time Mum came back. Her eyes were shining. She quickly put the mop back and took my hand. As we turned to go out of the door, Mum bowed politely to the nurse and said, "Thank you."
Outside, Mum told me, "Dagmar is fine. No fever. "
"You saw her, Mum?"
"Of course I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. Dad will stop worrying as well. It's a fine hospital. But such floors! A mop is no good. You need a brush."
【小題1】When she took a mop from the small room what Mum really wanted to do was .
A.to clean the floor | B.to please the nurse |
