    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 (吹嘘), “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.

    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。
    小题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。
    小题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。
    小题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。
    小题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。
    小题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。
    小题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。
    小题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。
    小题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。
    小题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。
    小题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。选D。
    小题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。
    小题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。
    小题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。
    小题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。
    小题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。
    小题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。
    小题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。
    小题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。
    小题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。
    小题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。

    Pop stars today enjoy what once only belonged to the royalty(皇室)．Wherever they go，people turn out in their thousands to greet them.The crowds go wild trying to catch a brief glimpse of their smiling，colorfully dressed idols.The stars are transported in their chauffeur driven Rolls Royces，private helicopters or executive aeroplanes.They are surrounded by a permanent entourage(随从)of managers，press agents and bodyguards.Photographs of them appear regularly in the press and all their comings and goings are reported，for，like royalty，pop stars are news.If they enjoy many of the privileges of royalty，they certainly share many of the inconveniences as well.It is dangerous for them to make unscheduled appearances in public.They must be constantly shielded from the adoring crowds who idolize them.They are no longer private individuals，but public property.The financial rewards they receive for this sacrifice cannot be calculated，for their rates of pay are great.

    And why not？Society has always rewarded its top entertainers lavishly.The great days of Hollywood have become legendary：famous stars enjoyed fame，wealth and adulation(奉承)on an all time scale.By today's standards，the excesses of Hollywood do not seem quite so spectacular.A single gramopphone record nowadays may earn much more in royalties than the films of the past ever did.The competition for the title“Top of the Pops”is fierce，but the rewards are truly huge.
    It is only right that the stars should be paid in this way.Don't the top men in industry earn enormous salaries for the service they perform to their companies and their countries？Pop stars earn vast sums in foreign currency—often more than large industrial companies—and the taxman can only be grateful for their massive annual contributions to the exchequer(国库)．So who would begrudge them their rewards?
    It's all very well for people in boring jobs to complain about the successes and rewards of others.People who make envious remarks should remember that the most famous stars represent only the tip of the iceberg.For every famous star，there are hundreds of others struggling to earn a living.A man working in a steady job and looking forward to a pension at the end of it has no right to expect very high rewards.He has chosen security and peace of mind，so there will always be a limit to what he can earn.But a map who attempts to become a star is taking enormous risks.He knows at the outset that only a handful of competitors ever get to the very top.He knows that years of concentrated effort may be rewarded with complete failure.But he knows，too，that the rewards for success are very high indeed：they are the payback for the huge risks involved and once he makes it，he will certainly earn them.That's the essence of private enterprise.

    San Francisco，unofficially regarded as one of the homeless capitals of the US，counts nearly 6,500 homeless people, with 4,300 living on the street．

    Among the many problems that the homeless face is little or no access to showers．San Francisco only has about 16 to 20 shower stations to accommodate them．But Doniece Sandoval has made it her task to change that．
    “Homelessness is something you can’t really miss，”the 51-year-old woman said．She started Lava Mae，a sort of showers on wheels, a new project that aims to turn old city buses into shower stations for the homeless．
    “One day I passed a woman in the street and she was very dirty and basically crying，and I heard her say that she would never be clean．But I was wondering what her opportunities were to actually get clean,” Sandoval said．
    Sandoval was inspired to start Lava Mae. The project has already been welcomed with open arms in the city．The Transportation Agency has donated one bus for the cause and is willing to donate three more if the project succeeds．Sandoval hopes the first bus will be able to hit the road in May this year．The Public Commission has also agreed to let the buses plug into fire hydrants(消防龙头)around the city if Lava Mae  pays for the water．
    One of Lava Mae’s biggest supporters is Bevan Dufty, the director of Housing Opportunity, Partnerships & Engagement under the mayor of San Francisco．“For people who are unhoused，access to showers is very difficult．Shower buses are something that could potentially be deployed (部署)in response to an emergency，so it is relevant to all San Franciscans," Dufty said．“Doniece has done an incredible job as a citizen who cares about helping the poor．We are very excited to see Lava Mae become real soon．”  
    Each bus will have two shower stations and Sandoval expects that by 2015，they’ll be able to provide 2000 showers a week．

    A．A newly invented way of shower
    B．Showers on Wheels for the Homeless
    C．The health problem of the homeless
    D．Lave Mae-a new name for old city buses

    Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)?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'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 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 1ie as well．
    小题1:The underlined word“opponents”in Paragraph 3 means            ．
    A．enemyB．partnerC．cooperatorD．assistant

    B．make use of half-truths

    It’s really true what people say about English politeness: it’s everywhere. When squeezing  past someone in a narrow passage, people say “sorry”. When getting off a bus, English passengers say “thank you” rather than the driver. In Germany, people would never dream of doing these things. After all, squeezing past others is sometimes unavoidable, and the bus driver is only doing his job. I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles, and here are some more polite ways of interacting  with people in UK.
    People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customer and shop assistant in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it would be exceptional to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation. British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, as opposite to Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough.
    Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers emphasized several times but none of their explanations were intended as criticism. It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This also is showed in other ways. British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men. However, I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men! Yes, the latter are a bit tightfisted.
    小题1:What is the author’s attitude towards English politeness?
    A．He thinks it is unnecessary.B．He thinks little of it.
    C．He appreciates it very much.D．He thinks it goes too far.
    小题2:What can be inferred from the passage?
    A．German men never treat a woman to dinner.
    B．The author think it’s unnecessary to say “thank you” to the bus driver.
    C．In Germany, employers often say “thank you” to employees for their job.
    D．Germans think it is unnecessary to thank workers because payment is enough.
    小题3:We can learn from the last paragraph that Scottish men ______.
    A．like to fight with each other
    B．treat women in a polite way
    C．are as generous as English men
    D．are unwilling to spend money for women
    小题4:The author develops the text through the method of ______.
    A．making comparisonsB．telling storiesC．giving reasonsD．giving examples

    I have nothing to say about whether or not “A Day Without Immigrants(移民)” had a positive or negative effect on the question of how the federal government should deal with the huge population of undocumented illegal immigrants in this country. I'll leave that question to others.
    Regardless of how you feel about the event, one conclusion is obvious. Using the theme of “A Day Without” as a way to focus national attention on a particular subject is a great idea, and could serve as a method for increasing public consciousness about other issues that affect daily life in America. Here are my top three examples:
    “A Day Without Speeding.” How hard could this be? If all drivers would strictly obey every posted speed limit on highways, downtown, on neighborhood streets, and in parking lots for one 24-hour cycle, the benefits would be huge.
    “A Day Without Losing Your Temper.” A higher degree of difficulty here, and I know that from personal experience. When something goes wrong at home or on the job, there may be brief satisfaction in yelling or kicking the furniture, but bursting into anger usually has nothing to do with the approach to the heart of the matter.
    “A Day Without Having All The Answers.” I would like to get a break from hearing anyone speak the phrase, “Here’s what you’re doing wrong.” Right now the US is packed with citizens who believe they can point out the cause of every single problem in existence and then solve it in a moment. I believe they need to be quiet sometimes and use their ears instead of their voices.
    I wonder how would average Americans react to such a national pause? Would it be a day of reaction against anger, or joyful celebrations?
    小题1:The first paragraph suggests ________.
    A．the writer is against “A Day Without Immigrants”
    B．immigrants are not equally treated by the US government
    C．the immigrants issue is so complex that the author has to refer to others
    D．some move to America without the permission of the US government
    小题2:The author uses his “top three examples” to________.
    A．criticize the undocumented illegal immigrants in America
    B．show public consciousness of some subjects could be raised
    C．encourage common people to create more similar activities
    D．indicate some bothering issues affecting people’s daily life
    小题3:According to the author, losing one’s temper is ________.
    A．unpleasant B．pointlessC．relaxingD．personal
    小题4:The writer suggests “a day without having all the answers”, because ________.
    A．he thinks the Americans are too proud
    B．he wants to have a chance to speak his mind
    C．he expects others to keep quiet and calm
    D．he hopes to get a break from the problems

    People are being lured(引诱) onto Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service, and don’t realize that they’re paying for it by giving up loads of personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data（资料） to advertisers that want to send targeted (目标的)messages.
    Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook, because people don’t really know what their personal details are worth.
    The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you could keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook—you could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things—your city, your photo, your friends’ names—were set, by default（默认）, to be shared with everyone on the Internet.
    According to Facebook’s vice president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information, they have a “less satisfying experience.”
    Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends?
    The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites. “I think the senators rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.
    I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade（侵犯）our privacy, it’s only the beginning，which is why I’m considering deactivating（撤销） my account(账号). Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t trust. That is too high a price to pay.
    小题1:What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?
    A．It is a website that sends messages to targeted users.
    B．It makes money by putting on advertisements.
    C．It earns money by selling its user’s personal data
    D．It provides a lot of information to its users
    小题2:What does the author say about most Facebook users?
    A．They don’t know their personal data enriches Facebook
    B．They are unwilling to give up their personal information
    C．They don’t identify themselves when using website
    D．They care very little about their personal information
    小题3:Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?
    A．To help its users make more friends
    B．To obey the Federal guidelines
    C．To make money by attracting more users
    D．To offer better service to its users
    小题4:What does Senator Charles Schumer argue for?
    A．Setting guidelines for advertising on websites
    B．Setting rules for social-networking sites
    C．Stopping sharing user’s personal information
    D．Removing ads from all social-networking sites
    小题5:Why does the author plan to stop using his Facebook account?
    A．He is dissatisfied with its service.
    B．He finds many of its users untrustworthy.
    C．He doesn’t want his personal data badly used.
    D．He is upset by its frequent rule changes.

    “I pity the empress. Poor empress.” “Do you think Zhen Huan really loves the emperor?” From campuses to offices, from shopping malls to the streets, talk about Legend of Zhen Huan is everywhere.
    Unlike other long TV series, Legend of Zhen Huan, the 76-episode Qing dynasty drama series, has kept attracting new audiences along the way. It has enjoyed widespread popularity on the Chinese mainland over the past months.
    The story is seemingly the same as those dramas which look into the lives of women in the imperial palace. It focuses on plots and intrigues(阴谋) within the Inner Palace during Emperor Yongzheng’s reign.
    The heroine, Zhen Huan, initially a kind and innocent young lady, enters the emperor’s harem(后宫) of concubines. Discovering that the palace is a cruel and harsh place, Zhen learns how to survive on her own.
    　 However, Legend of Zhen Huan seems to arouse more discussion than any drama series. Why? Some experts say it’s because it’s a well-made series from inside out.
    Niu Hanting, deputy editor-in-chief of Art Panorama magazine, told Xinhua News Agency that the sets, props and costumes are carefully chosen. And the screenplay and dialogue are well-written. “The series takes care of every detail a good period drama should have,” Niu said. “From that aspect, it’s no coincidence that Zhen Huan could be big.” More importantly, Niu added, the TV series strikes a chord among audiences in different ways. “For example, as a woman, Zhen is hurt by the man she once loved. And as a newcomer to the palace, she finds herself caught in the fierce infighting and she has to survive,” Niu said, “Everyone may find themselves in Zhen’s position at a certain point.”
    Then it’s not hard to understand why the story of Zhen Huan is even seen as a survival guide for newcomers in the workplace. Its director, Zheng Xiaolong, once admitted that in terms of society today, the “promotion” of Zhen Huan reflects a person’s career path in some way. “Whether the principles can be applied in today’s society, or not, I want to make the story as real as possible,” Zheng told Sina.com. “There are many fairytale-like series that make audiences ignore or avoid reality, and the complexity of humanity.” “But Legend of Zhen Huan, is a series that makes you think.”

    Travelling abroad for leisure is becoming more and more popular for Chinese. The UK is high up in the list of places that the Chinese want to visit. There is a sense of mystery about the UK; it’s often the images of England’s green parks, countryside and Victorian houses that people point to as an alternative to polluted, overcrowded cities such as Beijing and Guangzhou.
    The capital is viewed as modern and dynamic, while being filled deep with history. When asked what other images are thought of by the UK, the reply is often “the Queen, tea and Oxbridge”. So what’s stopping them actually coming? Sebastian Wood ,the British ambassador in Beijing, has described the UK as a “fortress”, and while this is perhaps an exaggeration(夸张)，Britain does have a reputation as a country that is harder to access.
    The main problem for Chinese tourists is obvious. Although visa applications are now completed online, visitors are still required to visit one of 12 UK centers across the country for a face-to-face interview and fingerprinting. If you don’t live near one of these enters already, you’d have to travel some distance to get there.
    Another problem is also to be mentioned. If travelers from China visit the UK, they also want to cover as much ground as possible. But the UK is not included in the Schengen visa, which allows access to a host of 26 European countries such as France and Germany. So it makes the former seem a less worth it.
    There is also the issue of cost: £47 for a Schengen visa, £82 for the UK. On top of this, the UK is viewed as stricter in its handing of visas compared with the rest of Europe, fed by urban legends of rejected applications. In the end, the decision comes down to one question: Is Britain worth a visit?
    小题1: The underlined word “fortress ” in paragraph2 is something similar to ______.
    A．templeB．apartmentC．castleD．market
    小题2:Which of the following statements is NOT true for the UK visa?
    A．One can apply for a visa online.
    B．One must have a face-to-face interview.
    C．No one can get a visa without a fingerprinting.
    D．No one needs to travel a long distance to get a center.
    小题3:What can a visitor do if he gets a Schengen visa?
    A．He can only visit the UK.
    B．He can only visit 26 European countries.
    C．He can visit the UK and France.
    D．He can travel to any country he likes.
    小题4:What is the writer’s attitude towards visiting the UK?
    A．He really supports Chinese people to visit the UK.
    B．He suggests Chinese people visit London strongly.
    C．He thinks it is troublesome to visit the UK.
    D．He believes everyone should go to see the Queen and Oxbridge.
