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 (吹嘘), “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】

试题分析:这篇文章通过三个例子来讲述了一个事实:谎言可以骗人,但是真相同样可以骗人。人们要注意生活中的“half truth”也就是真假参半的陈述,不要被其蒙骗。

1.B 形容词辨析。A 假的;B 真实的;C 有趣的;D 枯燥的。从上下文可知文章要讲述的是利用真相来进行欺骗的情况,那么他们告诉你的应该是真实的事情, 所以B选项正确。

2.A动词辨析。A 包括;B 包含,含有(某种成分);C 牵扯,涉及;D 参考,提及。由下文买彩票赢钱的例子推断得知,漏掉的信息是应该包括在内的,否则会让人产生错觉。A为正确选项。

3.D动词辨析。A 丢失,丧失,输掉; B 找到,发现;C 捐赠;D 赢。根据后面It was great判断这个人很高兴,所以推测出他应该是买彩票赢了,正确选项为D。

4.A动词辨析。A 交换,换成;B 拿,带走;C 转向,变成 ;D 制作。从上文可知这个人买彩票赢了 ,所以应该是拿着面值一美元的彩票回到商店兑换成了100美元,swap…for 把。。。换成,所以A选项正确。

5.A副词辨析。A 正确,对;B 好 ; C 真地; D 尽管。由后面的We then discover that he bought two hundred …and only one was a winner.判断 ,此处应该表示对前面叙述情况的怀疑,所以A选项正确。

6.C上下文串联。A 书; B 报纸,论文; C 票,罚单;D 球,舞会。从上文I took that dollar ticket back to the store可知他买的是彩票,所以正确选项是C。

7.B名词辨析。A 获胜者,赢家;B 输家;C 战斗机,战斗者;D思想家。根据前面叙述可知他买了200张,才中了一张,总的来说他应该是个输家。所以正确选项为B。

8.D形容词辨析。A 真实的;B 真的;C 怀疑的;D 假的。从上文买彩票的例子可知这个人没说谎话,但是没有说出全部真相,而且从后面的That’s called a half-truth.也可以判断正确答案选D。

9.B名词辨析。A 细节;B 信息;C 错误;D 错误,过错。上面叙述的内容告诉我们买彩票的人没有说谎,但是却故意漏掉一个事实,即:他花200美元买了200张彩票,却只有一张中奖。所以漏掉的应该是一些事实信息,由此判断B选项正确。

10.D名词辨析。A 故事; B 真相;真理;C 事实; D 谎言。买彩票的人半真半假的陈述让人产生错觉而且后面用了转折连词but ,由此判断,half-truth会和谎言一样起到误导人的作用,所以D选项正确。句意:虽然部分真实的话不是严格意义上的谎言。

11.C形容词辨析。A 令人愉悦的 ;B 令人兴奋的C 诚实的 ;D 聪明的。从下文选举的例子可知,政客们用half-truth去欺骗民众,让人产生错误的印象,所以half-truth应该是和谎言一样是不诚实的。从句意判断C为正确选项。

12.A形容词辨析。A 政治的;B商业的;C 个人的;D 公共的。由 “Governor Smith’s term, candidates opponents”这些词语可以判断应该是政治活动,所以A选项正确。

13.D动词辨析。A 停止;B 发现,认为;C 避免;D 获得。从前面lost 判断,此处应该是意思相对的词,她的政府失去100万份工作,得到300万份工作。所以D选项正确。

14.A 动词辨析。A 寻求,试图;B 得到;C 实现,获得;D 寻找。下文“During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” 她的对手对她进行不好的宣传暗示出她仍具有竞争性,应该是想再连任一届,所以A为正确选项。

15.C动词辨析。A 写;B 读;C 说;写着(指书面材料或者可见的东西上提供信息或指示)D 说话,演讲。广告本身不会读,写 说,习惯上用read或者say等动词表示上面显示的内容,比如:The notice said“Keep Out”。所以C选项正确。

16.B 连接词的考查。A 否则;B然而;C 实际上;D 这边请。That’s true和后面的an honest statement would have been…,是转折关系, 所以B为正确选项。

17.B 细节考查。从上文“her state lost one million jobs and  …three million jobs.”判断,工作净增长为两百万。所以B选项正确。

18.C介词辨析。根据常识可知广告商做出虚假的声明是违法的,所以应该用against the laws。答案选C。

19.D,名词辨析。A 单词,话语;B 事实;C 数据;D 真相,真理。整篇文章是讲述利用half truth来骗人,而且Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths.也是一个提示,所以判断D选项正确。

20.A动词辨析。A 失败;B 尝试;C 管理,设法做;D 计划。这是又一个用half truth来骗人的例子,所以他们应该是只讲述部分真实的情况,而没有提到那十个医生中有9个是为他们做事的事实。故A选项正确。

考点:考查社会现象类短文阅读。

阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从1-10各题所给的A.B.C.和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be   1  to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are   2  wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully(欺负)others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.

Rules can help the public make the right   3 , and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent   4 .

If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be   5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view (黑白分明的观点). For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is   6  acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into  7 .

Sometimes it may not be so easy to know   8  what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is   9  to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and   10  be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel so guilty (有罪的) when stealing some food to eat, if he lives in a really poor area and he is starving.

Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to treat others. However, some people argue that rules may be confusing, having observed that rules change all the time, and that some schools have some regulations and others have different ones---so who is to decide what is right?

1.                A.kind           B.sensitive        C.fair  D.generous

Then one morning our dream   38  . We hired a car and drove   39  to Dalat early in the morning. Splendid landscapes   40  on either side of the road   41   before us. The refreshing morning breeze was caressing (抚摸) our skin and in   42   spirits we were singing merrily.

Whatever the reason was, he loved following me around. However, I seldom talked to him and   34      asked him to leave me alone.

Then all that changed. I hardly remember everything of that day six years ago,   35    I do remember that I was feeling very angry. Somehow my feet led me to my brother’s bed.

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers,I often want to cut and keep it.But just as I am about to do so,I find the article on the   31   side is as much interesting.It may be a discussion of the way to   32   in good health,or advice about how to behave and   33  yourself in society.If I cut the front articles,the opposite one is likely to suffer   34  ,leaving one half of it or keeping the text    35    the title.Therefore,the scissors would stay before they start,    36   the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the   37    result.

Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time,both worth your   39   .You can only take up one of them;the other has to wait or be   39   up.But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not   40   you to do what is left behind.Thus you are   41   in a difficult position and feel sad.How come nice    42  and clever ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life   43    greatly on your preference of your one choice to the other.

In fact that is what   44   is like;we are often   45   with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both  46    like a newspaper cutting.It often occurs that our attention is   47   to the thing only after we get into another.The former may be more important than the latter and this   48   a divided mind.I still remember a philosopher’s   49 :“When one door shuts,another opens in life.”So a casual(不经意的)    50   may not be a bad one.
