Beware of those who use the truth to cheat. When someone tells you something that is       , but leaves out important information that should be         , he can create a false impression.
For example, someone might say, “I just          a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and          it for one hundred dollars!”
This guy’s a winner,        ? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred           , and only one was a winner. He’s really a big          !
He didn’t say anything that was         , but he deliberately left out some important      . That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically         , but they are just as not         .
Untrustworthy candidates in           campaigns often use this strategy. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and        three million jobs. Then she          another term. One of her opponents runs an advertisement       , “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true.         , an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of        million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s         the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the         . An advertisement might boast (吹噓), “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It          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.

解析試題分析:這篇文章通過三個(gè)例子來講述了一個(gè)事實(shí):謊言可以騙人,但是真相同樣可以騙人。人們要注意生活中的“half truth”也就是真假參半的陳述,不要被其蒙騙。
【小題1】B 形容詞辨析。A 假的;B 真實(shí)的;C 有趣的;D 枯燥的。從上下文可知文章要講述的是利用真相來進(jìn)行欺騙的情況,那么他們告訴你的應(yīng)該是真實(shí)的事情,所以B選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題2】A動(dòng)詞辨析。A 包括;B 包含,含有(某種成分);C 牽扯,涉及;D 參考,提及。由下文買彩票贏錢的例子推斷得知,漏掉的信息是應(yīng)該包括在內(nèi)的,否則會(huì)讓人產(chǎn)生錯(cuò)覺。A為正確選項(xiàng)。
【小題3】D動(dòng)詞辨析。A 丟失,喪失,輸?shù)簦?B 找到,發(fā)現(xiàn);C 捐贈(zèng);D 贏。根據(jù)后面It was great判斷這個(gè)人很高興,所以推測(cè)出他應(yīng)該是買彩票贏了,正確選項(xiàng)為D。
【小題4】A動(dòng)詞辨析。A 交換,換成;B 拿,帶走;C 轉(zhuǎn)向,變成;D 制作。從上文可知這個(gè)人買彩票贏了,所以應(yīng)該是拿著面值一美元的彩票回到商店兌換成了100美元,swap…for 把….換成,所以A選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題5】A副詞辨析。A 正確,對(duì);B 好 ; C 真地; D 盡管。由后面的We then discover that he bought two hundred …and only one was a winner.判斷,此處應(yīng)該表示對(duì)前面敘述情況的懷疑,所以A選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題6】C上下文串聯(lián)。A 書; B 報(bào)紙,論文; C 票,罰單;D 球,舞會(huì)。從上文I took that dollar ticket back to the store可知他買的是彩票,所以正確選項(xiàng)是C。
【小題7】B名詞辨析。A 獲勝者,贏家;B 輸家;C 戰(zhàn)斗機(jī),戰(zhàn)斗者;D思想家。根據(jù)前面敘述可知他買了200張,才中了一張,總的來說他應(yīng)該是個(gè)輸家。所以正確選項(xiàng)為B。
【小題8】D形容詞辨析。A 真實(shí)的;B 真的;C 懷疑的;D 假的。從上文買彩票的例子可知這個(gè)人沒說謊話,但是沒有說出全部真相,而且從后面的That’s called a half-truth.也可以判斷正確答案選D。
【小題9】B名詞辨析。A 細(xì)節(jié);B 信息;C 錯(cuò)誤;D 錯(cuò)誤,過錯(cuò)。上面敘述的內(nèi)容告訴我們買彩票的人沒有說謊,但是卻故意漏掉一個(gè)事實(shí),即:他花200美元買了200張彩票,卻只有一張中獎(jiǎng)。所以漏掉的應(yīng)該是一些事實(shí)信息,由此判斷B選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題10】D名詞辨析。A 故事; B 真相;真理;C 事實(shí); D 謊言。買彩票的人半真半假的陳述讓人產(chǎn)生錯(cuò)覺而且后面用了轉(zhuǎn)折連詞but ,由此判斷,half-truth會(huì)和謊言一樣起到誤導(dǎo)人的作用,所以D選項(xiàng)正確。句意:雖然部分真實(shí)的話不是嚴(yán)格意義上的謊言。選D。
【小題11】C形容詞辨析。A 令人愉悅的;B 令人興奮的C 誠(chéng)實(shí)的;D 聰明的。從下文選舉的例子可知,政客們用half-truth去欺騙民眾,讓人產(chǎn)生錯(cuò)誤的印象,所以half-truth應(yīng)該是和謊言一樣是不誠(chéng)實(shí)的。從句意判斷C為正確選項(xiàng)。
【小題12】A形容詞辨析。A 政治的;B商業(yè)的;C 個(gè)人的;D 公共的。由“Governor Smith’s term,candidates opponents”這些詞語(yǔ)可以判斷應(yīng)該是政治活動(dòng),所以A選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題13】D動(dòng)詞辨析。A 停止;B 發(fā)現(xiàn),認(rèn)為;C 避免;D 獲得。從前面lost 判斷,此處應(yīng)該是意思相對(duì)的詞,她的政府失去100萬(wàn)份工作,得到300萬(wàn)份工作。所以D選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題14】A 動(dòng)詞辨析。A 尋求,試圖;B 得到;C 實(shí)現(xiàn),獲得;D 尋找。下文“During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” 她的對(duì)手對(duì)她進(jìn)行不好的宣傳暗示出她仍具有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)性,應(yīng)該是想再連任一屆,所以A為正確選項(xiàng)。
【小題15】C動(dòng)詞辨析。A 寫;B 讀;C 說;寫著(指書面材料或者可見的東西上提供信息或指示)D 說話,演講。廣告本身不會(huì)讀,寫說,習(xí)慣上用read或者say等動(dòng)詞表示上面顯示的內(nèi)容,比如:The notice said“Keep Out”。所以C選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題16】B 連接詞的考查。A 否則;B然而;C 實(shí)際上;D 這邊請(qǐng)。That’s true和后面的an honest statement would have been…,是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,所以B為正確選項(xiàng)。
【小題17】B細(xì)節(jié)考查。從上文“her state lost one million jobs and  …three million jobs.”判斷,工作凈增長(zhǎng)為兩百萬(wàn)。所以B選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題18】C介詞辨析。根據(jù)常識(shí)可知廣告商做出虛假的聲明是違法的,所以應(yīng)該用against the laws。答案選C。
【小題19】D,名詞辨析。A 單詞,話語(yǔ);B 事實(shí);C 數(shù)據(jù);D 真相,真理。整篇文章是講述利用half truth來騙人,而且Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths.也是一個(gè)提示,所以判斷D選項(xiàng)正確。
【小題20】A動(dòng)詞辨析。A 失;B 嘗試;C 管理,設(shè)法做;D 計(jì)劃。這是又一個(gè)用half truth來騙人的例子,所以他們應(yīng)該是只講述部分真實(shí)的情況,而沒有提到那十個(gè)醫(yī)生中有9個(gè)是為他們做事的事實(shí)。故A選項(xiàng)正確。
考點(diǎn):考查社會(huì)現(xiàn)象類短文閱讀。

When I entered Berkeley, I hoped to earn a scholarship. Having been a Straight-A student, I believed I could       tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was extremely interested in the ideas he       in class.
When I took the first exam, I was       to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper,          English was my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained      . I decided to try harder, although I didn’t know what that       because school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I          with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn’t change his      . One more test before the final exam. One more       to improve my grade. So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time,       the meaning of the word “thorough”. But my       did no good and everything       as before.
The last hurdle(障礙) was the final. No matter what       I got, it wouldn’t cancel three C-pluses. I might as well kiss the       goodbye. I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even       myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I’d have       with a test. A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into professor Jayne’s office. He       to be expecting me. “If I gave you the As you       , you wouldn’t continue to work as hard.” I stared at him,        that his analysis and strategy(策略) were correct. I had worked my head       , as I had never done before. I was speechless when my course grade arrived: A-plus. It was the only A-plus given. The next year I received my scholarship. I’ve always remembered Professor Jayne’s lesson: you alone must set your own standard of excellence.

The world would be a better place if we all had children’s eyes. This is not because children’s eyes are too sharp to allow any blot(污點(diǎn),瑕疵)to pass without being     , but because adults have too many conflicting concerns to keep their eyes open to all wrongdoing.
Not long before, an examination, intended to     some police officers to higher positions, was held in Gansu province. Someone     with a good idea that 18 primary pupils could be invited to act as invigilators (監(jiān)考人). At that age, students would do as they are told and act fearlessly.      , they caught 25 officers cheating on the spot, which has caused a stir (轟動(dòng),攪動(dòng)) and      the question of whether adult invigilators would      their duties as well.
The implication of this event goes      its impact on the work style of local police officers and the examinations. Most people said what these children have done points to the sad fact of      being less trustworthy. If adults acted as invigilators, they would quite      turn a blind eye to cheating.
We Chinese have been holding the      that human nature was good at birth: as      of blot as a sheet of blank paper, which can be      with content (good or bad) in the process of growing up. Everything should be done on the basis of certain principles(原則).      , nowadays the repeated reports of cheating in examinations, selling ranks and      and embezzling (挪用) public funds paint a      picture of common social morals.    Adults have become too concerned with their own personal gains to      basic sense of principles. When no one      any principle and the only concern is personal interest, everyone will      , not only those who first break the rules.
Besides, cheats are unfair to honest examinees, and when the success of cheats      more people to cheat, the consequences will be disastrous.
In a word, we adults need to have our eyes as      as children’s on matters of principle.

China is a land of bicycles.At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country.Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle.Millions of them, all black.Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year.I've found the opposite is true.There are millions of cars.However, people still use their bicycles to get around.For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today.Bicycles also come in different colors—silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.
It's fun watching people biking.They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道).Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can't provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle.Great weather accompanied my great buy.I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly(守秩序的).To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times.I didn't want to get hit.So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States.The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home.The feeling on the bicycle was amazing.The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful.I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people.Biking made me feel alive.

  I went to a nearby car factory today with my uncle, who works there. One thing I noticed was that most of the work was done by robots. Welding (焊接), painting, testing and many other jobs are performed by robots. The whole dashboard (儀表板) is put into a car by a robot. It would have taken two men to do so in the past, and it would have hurt their backs quite a bit.
It got me thinking: Is it a good thing that robots are replacing factory workers? On the one hand, robots generally do a more accurate job than people. They are not likely to make many mistakes. If something goes wrong with one car, an alarm goes off. They do exactly the same thing every time, but a human worker is unable to do so. On the other hand, robots reduce costs for companies. Companies don’t have to pay robots wages or injury compensation (補(bǔ)償) if they’re broken. If something in a robot does go wrong, it won’t have to take time off work for a year, or even forever, as could happen to a real person if he breaks his back or burns himself while welding.
The obvious downside is that robots increase unemployment rate, which in turn increases taxes. We don’t want to pay for those who are out of work just because a company has replaced them with robots.
【小題1】We can learn from the first paragraph that _______.

A.a(chǎn)ll the workers have been replaced by robots
B.robots do most of the work in the car factory
C.there are no workers with back strain now
D.the author’s uncle designs robots in the factory
【小題2】The second paragraph is mainly about ________.
A.the author’s experience in a car factory
B.the advantages of robots over human workers
C.the advantages of human workers over robots
D.the management of factory workers
【小題3】The underlined word “downside” in the last paragraph means _______.
A.weaknessB.favor
C.a(chǎn)ssistanceD.Advantage
【小題4】It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A.companies refuse to pay for workers.
B.robots have completely replaced workers.
C.robots can help solve the problem of unemployment.
D.people have to pay more taxes for unemployment.
