Cambodians are continuing to mourn the death of King-Father Norodom Sihanouk, who died in Beijing this week. In an exclusive interview with CCTV, China’s ambassador to Cambodia, Pan Guangxue, says Sihanouk made indelible(不可磨滅的) contributions to Sino-Cambodian relations and his death will not affect the friendship between the two countries.
Since its founding, the People’s Republic of China has maintained close contact with Cambodia. Bilateral(雙邊的) trade volume has increased rapidly in recent years, from 200 million US dollars in 2002 to nearly 2.5 billion US dollars in 2011.
China is now not only Cambodia’s third largest trading partner, but for many years has been Cambodia’s number one investor. Norodom Sihanouk, Cambodia’s “King-Father” pioneered the relationship.
Pan Guangxue said, “If we look back at previous decades, I think Sihanouk made the right choice, a choice good to Cambodian national development. It was because of his commitment to the development of Sino-Cambodia friendship that we’ve achieved what we have today.”
In 2010, the two countries established a comprehensive strategic partnership, during its Prime Minister Hun Sen’s visit to China.
And 2013 is set to be China-Cambodia Friendship Year.
Pan Guangxue said, “Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said on many occasions that China does not tell Cambodia what to do or what not to do. China does not point fingers at Cambodia. I think this is a true evaluation of Sino-Cambodian relations. China pursues an independent peaceful foreign policy of non-alignment(不結盟) and non-interference in the internal affairs of other countries.”
The ambassador says Sihanouk’s death is a huge loss to both China and Cambodia, but that bilateral relations will not be affected.
Pan Guangxue said, “I believe the bilateral relationship will be sustained and grow even stronger.”
With both countries enjoying the benefits of the fruitful relationship, the governments of China and Cambodia have promised that Sihanouk’s legacy(遺產) will continue to be the foundation of even stronger ties.
【小題1】We can learn from the passage that Sihanouk ________.

A．is the present Cambodian Prime Minister
B．went for an interview with CCTV the other day
C．made the right choice to encourage investment in China
D．had great influence on Sino-Cambodian relations
【小題2】The following facts can prove the good Sino-Cambodian relations EXCEPT that _______.
A．Sihanouk was committed to Cambodian national development
B．the two countries has set 2013 to be China-Cambodia Friendship Year
C．the two countries has established a comprehensive strategic partnership
D．trade volume between the two countries has increased sharply in recent years
【小題3】What is Pan Guangxue’s opinion on Sihanouk’s death?
A．It will more or less damage the bilateral relationship.
B．It will continue to be the foundation of even stronger ties.
C．It means a huge loss for both countries in economy.
D．It has very little negative effect on the bilateral relationship.
【小題4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．China-Cambodia Friendship Year
B．China-Cambodia friendship to continue
C．Sihanouk’s death—a great loss to Cambodia
D．China’s peaceful foreign policy to continue

    Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺騙)?When someone tells

you something that is true，but leaves out important information that should be includ—ed。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 hun—dred 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 haIf-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 an

 other term．One of her opponents(對手)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(廣告商)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．It’s  a sad fact of life：Lies are lies，and

sometimes the truth can 1ie as well．

  69．How much did the lottery winner lose?

      A．one hundred dollars．           B．Two hundred dollars．

      C．Three hundred dollars．         D．Four hundred dollars．

70．We may infer that the author believes people should

     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

71．What do the underIined words“net gain”in Paragraph 5 mean?

    A．final increase                     B．big advantage

    C．1arge share                      D．total number

72．What can we know from the example of the Yucky Pill advertisement?

    A．False statements are easy to see through．

    B．Half-truths are often used to mislead people．

    C．Doctors like to act in advertisements．

    D．Advertisements are based on facts．

73．How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to de—

    eeive?

A．One．    B．Two．    C．Three．  D．Four．

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

   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．

75．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 half truths．

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