19．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 included，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 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．
59．We many 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
60．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
61．Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage？B
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．

分析 謊言能騙人，但是你相信事實(shí)也能騙人嗎？在本文中作者介紹了有些人是如何利用部分事實(shí)來進(jìn)行欺騙的，比如廣告中說"十個(gè)醫(yī)生中有九個(gè)會(huì)建議他們的病人服用Yucky Pills來治療牙痛"，但是他們沒提到的事實(shí)是：被問到的這十個(gè)醫(yī)生中有九人是Yucky Pills公司的．

解答 59．C．推理判斷題．作者在文章開頭用Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive？引出話題，然后給出例子來說明這一情況，由此推斷作者目的是提醒人們要注意別人告訴他們的話，答案選C．
60．D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第三段her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs．可知在她的任職期間就業(yè)的凈增長是兩百萬份工作，所以她的工作是杰出的，故選D．
61．B．主旨大意題．作者在文章開頭提出話題Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive？，中間列舉了三個(gè)例子來證明事實(shí)也會(huì)欺騙人的情況，最后作者通過It's a sad fact of life：Lies are lies，and sometimes the truth can 1ie as well與開頭相呼應(yīng)，故選B．

點(diǎn)評 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力，做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)一定要找到文章中的原句，和題干進(jìn)行比較，再做出正確的選擇．在做推理判斷題不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí)，要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷．

14．A policeman was questioning 3blondes （金發(fā)女郎） who were training to become detectives．To test their skills in recognizing a suspect，he shows the first blonde a picture for 5seconds and then hides it．
"This is your suspect （嫌疑犯）； how would you recognize him？"
The first blonde answers，"That's easy，we'll catch him fast because he only has one eye!"The policeman says，"Well…uh…that's because the picture shows his profile （側(cè)面畫像）．"
Slightly confused by this ridiculous response，he flashes the picture for 5seconds at the second blonde and asks her，"This is your suspect； how would you recognize him？"
The second blonde giggles，flips her hair and says，"Ha!He'd be too easy to catch because he only has one ear!"
The policeman angrily responds，"What's the matter with you two？Of course only one eye and one ear are showing because it's a picture of his profile!!Is that the best answer you can come up with？"
Extremely frustrated at this point，he shows the picture to the third blonde and in a very testy voice asks"This is your suspect； how would you recognize him？"He quickly adds，"Think hard before giving me a stupid answer．"
The blonde looks at the picture intently（專注地） for a moment and says，"Hmmmm…the suspect wears contact lenses （隱形眼鏡）．"
The policeman is surprised and speechless because he really doesn't know himself if the suspect wears contacts or not．"Well，that's an interesting answer…Wait here for a few minutes while I check his file and I'll get back to you on that．"He leaves the room and goes to his office，checks the suspect's file in his computer，and comes back with a beaming smile on his face．"Wow!I can't believe it…It's TRUE!The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses．Good work!How were you able to make such an acute observation？"
"That's easy，"the blonde replied．"He can't wear regular glasses because he only has one eye and one ear．"
51．Why did the policeman show a picture to the three blondes？B
A．To question them about their relationship with the suspect．
B．To test their ability of being detectives．
C．To train them as qualified police officers．
D．To show the skills in recognizing a suspect．
52．What's the policeman's attitude towards the first blonde's answer？B
A．Angry．       B．Puzzled．    C．Embarrassed．    D．Satisfied．
53．What did the second blonde think of the task？B
A．Demanding．   B．Easy．          C．Foolish．        D．Confusing．
54．How did the third blonde know that the suspect wore contact lenses？A

C．By logical and reasonable analysis． D．By checking the file in the computer．

9．Have you ever met the situation where you kept thinking that there are opportunities，or chances，which are better than your current one？This is the syndrome（綜合征） when you are looking at the other side of the grass and think that the grass is greener on the other side and is also what I call the"greener grass"syndrome．
Why are you like this？Uncertainty and curiosity play a big part in creating the"greener grass"syndrome．If you have this syndrome，you are likely to miss a lot of things you have now．When you are always focusing on other opportunities，sometimes you may waste the opportunity right in front of you．
So what can you do to treat the"greener grass"syndrome？Just remember：the grass always starts out a nice and shiny green，but will begin to wear a bit with use．Then，it still needs to be maintained in order to stay a nice shade of green．So as for your jobs，the first thing to do is recognize that your current job is your best choice right now．Try to focus on"what is"instead of"what if"．Secondly，always stick to your job，no matter which side you are at．Last but not least，always do your best in your current job．In conclusion，it is important for you to choose a side，and make the best．
24．Which one of the following thoughts is Not the"greener grass syndrome"？B
A．Students studying abroad must live a much more relaxing life than us．
B．I am better than I used to be．
C．What if I were a boy
D．If I could just lose 10pounds，I would feel better．
25．How can people deal with the"green grass"syndrome？A
A．Stick to whatever side you are at．
B．Just ignore the dulled green grass
C．Seek for the best choice．
D．Focus on"what if"
26．What is the purpose of this passage？C
A．To introduce a common medical syndrome．
B．To discuss ways to focus on different opportunities．
C．To persuade people to make the best of what they have．
D．To show people different ways to make the grass greener．
27．How is the passage organized？C
A．Opinion-Description-Discussion
B．Comparison-Argument-Explanation
C．Introduction-Explanation-Discussion
D．Explanation-Supporting examples-Main idea．
