Question

15．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'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 （对手） says，"During Govemor Smith's term，the state lost one million jobs!"That's true．However，an honest statement would  have been，"During Govemor Smith's term，the state had a net gain of two million jobs．"
Advertisers（广告商） 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．Lt's a sad fact of life：Lies are lies，and sometimes the truth can lie as well．
32．How much did the lottery winner lose？A
A．One hundred dollars．

Answer 1

分析 本文讲述了真实的谎言，很多表述的内容是正确的，但是省略了重要的事实，就成了谎言．

解答 ACAB
32  A  计算题．根据文章2，3段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!"和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!说明他实际上是输了100美元．故A正确．
33  C  推理题．根据文章第一段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．文章说到骗人者故意隐瞒部分不利的事实，那我们可以得出：不能只看表面，要做深入的调查分析，事实得全了，就辨别出真假了．选C．
34  A  猜词题．根据第五段最后3行"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．'可知实际上Governor Smith赢得了100万个工作岗位，"net gain"="．"final increase．故A正确．
35  B  细节题：从最后倒数第二段第二句It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth．，可知用这个广告是告诉人们一半的真相是用来误导人们的，答案是B．
