17.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,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.
29.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
30.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
31.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.

分析 本文讲了生活中的一种现象:用事实骗人.有的人只说出部分事实来欺骗别人,有的时候那也算是一种谎言.作者在文中举了几个例子来说明这一现象.

解答 29.C   推理判断题   根据"Lies are lies,and sometimes the truth can lie as well 谎言是谎言,但是有的时候事实也会说谎."可知,我们对我们听到的东西要仔细辨别.故答案为C
30    C  细节理解题   根据"For example,someone might say""Some officers often use this trick""Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths"可知,文中举了三个例子.故答案为C
31    D  细节理解题  根据"It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth"可知,用部分事实说谎并不违反法律,因为并不都是虚假信息,故A不正确;根据"sometimes the truth can lie as well"可知,事实只是有的时候会说谎,并不完全是谎言,故B不正确;根据"It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company"可知,这个做的是虚假广告,那个药不一定是好的,故C不正确;根据"her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs"可知,史密斯在任期间就业的净增长是200万个工作,故D正确.

点评 做阅读时经常犯错的主要原因是,仅凭读过文章后残留在脑海中的一丝印象来勾选答案,这样便很容易掉入出题人故意设布下的题目陷阱.所谓阅读理解,对于题目的理解一定要忠实于原文,因此,每一道题都应该与原文作全面的对比与核查,再得出答案.也就是说,阅读理解的每一道题目,在原文都应该有明确的出处,我们把这一出处叫做原文相关句,(1)排除与原文相关句主题不一致的选项(2)排除与原文相关句态度相反的选项 (3)排除用于过于极端或负面的选项(4)注意结合文章主旨和主题去排除.

5.In the Netherlands,cycling isn't seen as eco-friendly exercise; it's part of everyday life,as it is people's top choice to go to school and work.
"There are more bicycles than residents in the Netherlands.In cities like Amsterdam and The Hague,up to 70percent of all journeys are made by bike,"said BBC.
So how did cycling become such a popular means of transportation in the European country?
In the 1970s,the Dutch government began to improve its cycling basic facilities(设施) due to both a national social movement demanding safer cycling conditions for children and the oil crisis in the Middle East,when oil-producing countries stopped their exports to Western Europe.
To make cycling safer and more appealing,the Dutch have over 40,000kilometers of bicycle lanes and paths,which are clearly marked,have smooth surfaces and include separate signs and lights for those on two wheels.
In many cities the bike lanes are completely separated from motorized traffic.And in many traffic situations cyclists are given priority (优先权) over drivers.Sometimes,where space is limited and both must share,you can see signs showing an image of a cyclist with a car behind accompanied by the words"Bike Street:Cars are guests".
As young people aren't allowed to drive alone until they are 18,cycling offers Dutch teenagers an alternative form of freedom.The government also makes cycling skilled lessons a necessary part of the Dutch school curriculum(课程).
Bike parking  facilities  are common  in  the  country.Cyclists are
accommodated(容纳)in the way motorists are elsewhere.Take Groningen for example,the city's central train station has underground parking for 10,000bikes.
For many Dutch people,bikes are trusty company for life's adventures.In that kind of relationship it is longevity((长寿) that matters---that's why many Dutch people ride older bikes.
29.What does the Dutch government do about teenagers'cycling?C
A.It will watch over teenagers who ride bikes.
B.It asks some teenagers to learn cycling skilled lessons.
C.It makes cycling skilled lessons become what teenagers must learn in all subjects.
D.It will help teenagers to solve the problems about cycling.
30.What can we learn from the second paragraph?A
A.Most vehicles the Dutch use are bikes.
B.There are more people than bikes in the Netherlands.
C.Most vehicles the Dutch use are buses.
D.The bike is the only vehicle for the Dutch to work.
31.Which of the following about cycling in the Netherlands is TRUE?D
A.Cycling is regarded as eco-friendly exercise.
B.Cycling is considered as a way to entertain.
C.Cycling is looked on as a way to lose weight.
D.Cycling is thought of as part of their everyday life.
2.Retirement (退休) should be time of joy and freedom.However,for some people retirement comes with feelings of depression (沮丧),which makes life difficult for them.
Retirement is a major life change.Even good changes usually involve some kinds of loss.When you retire,you find yourself lacking whatever working used to provide.That could include,for example,1.knowing you're working for society,2.getting admiration from your skills,3.having"aha"moments when you solve problems,4.having people to socialize with,and=5.simply having a place to go and a reason to get out of bed every day.For most people,there's a financial loss,too.Also,retirement age is a time when a lot of people have to deal with losing their parents or having serious health problems of their own.
Because of all these,retirees are more likely to get depressed.
Depression is very harmful.First,depression can make physical health problems worse.Second,it takes a toll on relationships,because it can make people angry.Third,it's hard to getmuch done when you're depressed.
What can we do to overcome (克服) the feelings of depression?First,do all the things that help depression in general:drink enough water,exercise,talk to friends,have a hobby,laugh,and spend time in nature.If you feel depressed more often than not,it's probably time to talk to a doctor about your feelings.Second,it's important to keep busy and get out of the house when you can.Make specific plans with friends.Take a class Volunteer.Or just make sure you start each day with some kind of goal.Third,try to focus on what you've gained by retiring.Think about what you may have now that you wished you had before you were able to retire.For example,days that are less stressful,a chance to rest and take better care of your body,more time for your family and yourself.To write,to start a hobby and to learn something new are all new possibilities.Finally,tell your story.You've lived a long time and you become an oral historian each time you talk with someone about your experiences.You can also write in a journal or make a video recording of your memories.Telling your stories can help you look back on your life and career with a sense of wholeness and achievements.

32.People may find life very hard after they retire because ofC.
A.freedom             
B.nervousness
C.discouragement (losing heart)

9.One sixth of undergraduates (本科生) in  Beijing this year have registered at a driving school.The students,mostly from majors such as business management or international trade,will finish there driving courses within 20 days or so.
Training costs have dropped to,2,600yuan for students,according to the Haidian Driving School in Beijing.The price is not really low,but students will accept it,seeing it as an investment (投资) in their future.Familiarity with the operation of computers and fluent English are the basic skills graduating students need to find a job.But a driver's permit has become another factor.
"In the job market,owning a driver's permit sometimes strengthens a graduating student's competitiveness for a good position,"says Zhou Yang,an undergraduate at the China University of Political Science and Law.
Cars will become a necessary part of many people's lives in the coming years,and it's difficult to get a permit out of campus because of the pressures on working people's time."Having a full-time job after graduation offers limited time to learn to drive.We senior students have plenty of spare time,plenty of opportunities to learn."
Xu Jian,an official at the driving school,said undergraduates were very able and serious,and could grasp in an hour what it took ordinary people four hours to learn.In this driving school,middle-aged people,young women and college students are the main customers.
To get a driver's permit,a beginner is now required to have at least 86 hours'practice before the final road test.
21.The undergraduates are learning to drive because.B
A.they like to drive cars
B.they need this skill to find a good job.
C.most of them will be able to buy cars in the future
D.they want to become full-time drivers after graduation
22.Which of the following is Xu Jian's opinion of students learning to drive?D
A.He decided it was a waste of money and time.
B.He thought they must learn it at school.
C.He thought they would spend three times more time.
D.He agreed that young people had an advantage in learning to drive.
23.Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?A
A.Students Learn to Drive    
B.Welcome to Driving School
C.It's Better to Learn to Drive at College
D.Students Pay Less to Learn to Drive Now.
6.When thinking about placing a human being in space,one of the most important questions was how to design special clothing needed to protect a person from the dangers of the space environment.The cold of space will freeze skin in a short time.The fierce heat of the sun can cause serious burns.The lack of atmosphere can cause gases in the body to expand(扩大) and even burst.With no oxygen to breathe,a human being will die in only a few moments.Radiation from the sun is another risk in space.So is damage from small pieces of rock and objects like meteoroids (陨石).
In 1933,an American flyer,Wiley Post,designed one of the first successful devices to protect a pilot at extreme heights.It was a large device that looked like a can surrounded the pilot's head.Astronauts in the American space agency (NASA) flew the first American space flights in the early 1960s.The clothing was similar to that invented by Wiley Post.
Today,astronauts wear very different protective clothing.It lets them move,do useful tasks,and stay outside their spacecraft in comfort and safety for several hours.The spacesuit is called the shuttle extravehicular mobility unit or EMU.It was designed to endure longer and to permit more movement than earlier spacesuits.
The EMU has a number of parts that an astronaut can link together by using only one hand,which makes it possible for each astronaut to select the parts that fit correctly.
Nowadays,NASA scientists are also considering the kind of spacesuits that would be needed for exploration on the planet Mars.Because of the gravity on Mars,spacesuits may have to be designed to be lighter than suits used in orbit or on the moon.The equipment may also have to protect astronauts from dust carried in the winds on Mars.And,they must be easy to repair and keep clean during a longer flight to and from the red planet.
32.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the dangers of space environment?C
A.Lack of oxygen.
B.Fierce heat from the sun.
C.Gases in the body.
D.Radiation from the sun.
33.Which of the following statements is true,according to this passage?B
A.Wiley Post designed the first protective clothing for astronauts.
B.Astronauts in earlier spacesuits had difficulty in moving,doing useful tasks and so on.
C.EMU has many parts that can be linked together by using two hands.
D.Special spacesuits have been used for exploration of the planet Mars.
34.The underlined word"endure"meansC.
A.provide     B.move     C.last    D.live
35.The best title of the passage might beD.
A.Space explorationB.Astronauts'flights
C.The Advantages of Spacesuits D.The Development of Spacesuits.
7.Our character,(41)A,is a combination of our habits."Sow a thought,harvest an action; sow an action,harvest a habit; sow a habit,harvest a character; sow a character,harvest a(42)C,"the saying goes.
Habits are powerful factors in our lives.Because they are consistent,often unconscious  (43)B,they constantly,daily express our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness.
As Horace Mann,the great educator,once (44)Bit,"Habits are like a rope.We weave a string of it every day and soon it cannot be broken."I personally do not agree with the last part of his (45)C.I know habits can be learned and unlearned.But I also know it isn't a(an) (46)Cfix.It involves a(47)Aand a faithful commitment.
Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo II were quite amazed as we saw the first men walk on the moon and return to earth.(48)Ato get there,those astronauts obviously had to break out of the huge gravity pull of the earth.(49)Benergy was spent in the first few minutes of (50)Din the first few miles of travel,than was used over the next several days to travel half a million miles.
Habits,(51)C,have huge gravity pull more than most people realize or would (52)C.Breaking deeply (53)Ahabits such as delay,hesitation,impatience,criticalness,or selfishness that go against basic principles of human effectiveness (54)Bmore than a little willpower and a few minor changes in our lives."Lift off"(55)Ba great effort,but once we break out of the gravity pull,our freedom (56)Aa whole new dimension.
(57)Cany natural force,gravity can work (58)Dus or against us.The gravity pull of some of our habits may (59)Dbe keeping us from going where we want to go.But it is also gravity that pull that keeps our world together,that keeps the planets in their orbits and our universe in order.It is a powerful force,and if we use it effectively,we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the cooperation and (60)Dnecessary to establish effectiveness in our lives.
