【题目】 One day a man gave his son some wood to saw (; 锯子). The boy did not want to do such work, so after his father had gone away, he threw the saw down, and it broke.

"I did not break the saw," said the boy to himself, "it broke itself." He tried to deceive himself with words, but he knew in his heart that they were false words, and he was afraid to meet his father.

One day a mother said to her son, who had just returned from school, "It is six o'clock. Your school closes at four -where have you been, my boy?"

"Oh, mother," said Ned, "when we play at ball, we forget everything else. We do not think of the time, or of coming home. Is tea ready?"

The boy 's mother was cheated. Ned's answer led her to think that he had been playing with his friends. But he had not been playing at all.

He had been “kept in” by his teacher, because he had not learned his lessons. He did not like to tell his mother that. He wished her to think that he had been playing.

“What a shame it is for you to try to cheat your mother," said something in Ned's heart, as he sat down to his tea.

"I don't care," said the boy to himself, “I don't care. I did not tell a lie- I did not say that I was playing. "

If we use words which are about to cheat, we tell a lie. Ned's lie was a very bad one, for it looked so like the truth. A lie that looks like the truth is the worst kind of lie.

A. A truth is a real lie.B. What looks like a truth is a lie.

【题目】Choose the best answer.

Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons—for example, economic reasons—why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?

In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.

It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative and do not like change.

Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.
