　　二、阅读理解

　　A

　　Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive (欺骗)? 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

　　half­truth.

　　Half­truths

　　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 half­truths. 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.

　　这是一篇说明文。文章用具体的事例说明有些人利用真相来欺骗，这是因为他们把本应该包括在内的一些重要信息给隐去了，这样就给你造成了一种假象。

　　1．We may infer that the author believes people should

　　.

　　A. buy lottery tickets if possible

　　B. make use of half­truths

　　C. be careful about what they are told

　　D. not trust the Yucky Company

　　答案　C

　　解析　推理判断题。文章中用具体的事例说明骗人者故意隐瞒部分事实，所以我们可以得出：人们应该对别人所说的话加以小心。

　　2．How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive?

　　A. One.

　　B.Two.

　　C. Three. D. Four.

　　答案　C

　　解析　细节理解题。根据第二、三、四段可知，作者分别举了买彩票的事、竞选的事以及做广告的事这三个例子。故答案为C。

　　3．Which of the following is true according to the passage?

　　A. Using half­truths is against the law.

　　B. Technically, half­truths 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.

　　答案　D

　　解析　细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs”可知，在她上届任期中，她所在的州失去了100万份工作，同时获得了300万份工作，这样看来实际上她是成功的。故答案为D。

　　4．Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?

　　A. He's really a big loser!

　　B. Sometimes the truth can lie as well.

　　C. Advertisers will sometimes use half­truths.

　　D. It's against the law to make false statements.

　　答案　B

　　解析　主旨大意题。通读文章可知，人们有时能用事实来欺骗，故事实有时也有可能是谎言，这正是文章的主旨。

　　B

　　Zoe Chambers was a successful PR (Public Relations) consultant and life was going well—she had a great job, a beautiful flat and a busy social life in London. Then one evening in June last year, she received a text message telling her she was out of work.

　　“The first two weeks were the most difficult to live through，”

　　she said. “After everything I'd done for the company, they dismissed me by text! I was so angry and I just didn't feel like looking for another job. I hated everything about the city and my life.”

　　Then, Zoe received an invitation from an old school friend, Kathy, to come and stay.

　　Kathy and her husband, Huw, had just bought a farm in north­west Wales. Zoe jumped at the chance to spend a weekend away from London, and now, ten months later, she is still on the farm.

　　“The moment I arrived at Kathy's farm, I loved it and I knew I wanted to stay，” said Zoe. “Everything about my past life suddenly seemed meaningless.”

　　Zoe has been working on the farm since October of last year and says she has no regrets.

　　“It's a hard life, physically very tiring，” she says.

　　“In London I was stressed and often mentally exhausted.

　　But this is a good, healthy tiredness. Here, all I need to put me in a good mood is a hot bath and one of Kathy's wonderful dinners.”

　　Zoe says she has never felt bored on the farm. Every day brings a new experience. Kathy has been teaching her how to ride a horse and she has learnt to drive a tractor.

　　Since Christmas, she has been helping with the lambing—watching a lamb being born is unbelievable. She says,

　　“It's one of the most moving experiences I've ever had. I could never go back to city life now.”

　　本文是一篇记叙文。Zoe是一位成功的公共关系顾问，但一天晚上她收到了公司的解雇短信，她感到非常失落。令她意外的是，她的同窗好友Kathy的邀请，彻底改变了她的生活……

　　5．According to the author, Zoe lived a

　　life as a PR consultant in London.

　　6．How does Zoe feel about the country life according to the passage?

　　A. Tiresome and troublesome. B. Romantic and peaceful.

　　C. Mentally exhausting but healthy.

　　D. Physically tiring but rewarding.

　　答案　D

　　7．It is stated in the passage that

　　.

　　A. Zoe went to the farm to start a new life

　　B. Zoe failed to find another job in London

　　C. Kathy was Zoe's friend from work

　　D. watching a lamb being born touched Zoe's heart

　　答案　D

　　解析　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“watching a lamb being born is unbelievable”以及“It's one of the most moving experiences I've ever had”可知，这种经历震撼了Zoe的内心。

　　8．Which of the following is closest to the main idea of the passage?

　　A. Kill two birds with one stone.

　　B. A misfortune may turn out a blessing.

　　C. Where there is a will, there is a way.

　　D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

　　答案　B

　　解析　主旨大意题。这四个选项的谚语所表达的含义分别为：A项“一箭双雕”；B项“祸兮福所倚”；C项“有志者事竟成”；D项“患难见真情”。根据全文内容可知，选项B最接近文章的主旨。

　　三、完形填空

　　at work in people of all

　　. For example, on Christmas morning, children are excited about

　　7

　　interest. When parents bring home a pet, their child

　　8

　　bathes it and brushes its fur. Within a short time, however, the

　　9

　　of caring for the animal is handed over to the parents. Adolescents enter high school with great

　　10

　　but are soon looking forward to

　　11

　　.The same is true of the young adults going to college. And then, how many

　　12

　　， who now complain (抱怨) about the long drives to work，

　　13

　　drove for hours at a time when they first

　　14

　　their driver's licenses(执照)? Before people retire, they usually

　　15

　　to do a lot of

　　16

　　things, which they never had

　　17

　　to do while working. But
