阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Beware of those who use the truth to cheat. When someone tells you something that is 36 , but leaves out important information that should be 37 , he can create a false impression. For example, someone might say, “I just 38 a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and 39 it for one hundred dollars!” This guy’s a winner, 40 ? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred 41 , and only one was a winner. He’s really a big 42 ! He didn’t say anything that was 43 , but he deliberately left out some important 44 . That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically 45 , but they are just as not 46 . Untrustworthy candidates in 47 campaigns often use this strategy. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and 48 three million jobs. Then she 49 another term. One of her opponents runs an advertisement 50 , “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. 51 , an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of 52 million jobs.” Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s 53 the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the 54 . An advertisement might boast (吹嘘), “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It 55 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. 1.A. false B. true C. interesting D. boring 2.A. included B. contained C. involved D. referred 3.A. lost B. found C. donated D. won 4.A. swapped B. took C. turned D. made 5.A. right B. well C. really D. though 6.A. books B. papers C. tickets D. balls 7.A. winner B. loser C. fighter D. thinker 8.A. true B. real C. doubtful D. false 9.A. details B. information C. mistakes D. errors 10.A. stories B. truth C. facts D. lies 11.A. pleasant B. exciting C. honest D. clever 12.A. political B. commercial C. personal D. public 13.A. stopped B. found C. avoided D. gained 14.A. seeks B. gets C. achieves D. searches 15.A. writing B. reading C. saying D. speaking 16.A. Otherwise B. However C. In fact D. This way 17.A. one B. two C. three D. four 18.A. for B. to C. against D. in 19.A. words B. facts C. data D. truth 20.A. fails B. tries C. manages D. plans

People used to say, “The hand that rocks (摇) the cradle (摇篮) rules the world.” and “Behind every successful man there is a woman.” Both these sayings mean the same thing. Men rule the world, but their mothers and wives rule them. Most American women wish to make their husbands and sons successful, but some of them want more for themselves. They want good jobs. When they work they want to be better paid. They want to be as successful as men. The American women’s liberation movement was started by women who didn’t want to stand behind successful men. They wanted to stand beside men, with the same chance for success. They refused to work side by side with men who do the same work for a higher pay. A liberated woman must be proud of being a woman and have confidence in herself. If somebody says to her, “You have come a long way, baby.” she will smile and answer, “Not nearly as far as I’m going to go, baby!” This movement is quite new, and many American women don’t agree yet. But it has already made some important changes in women’s lives--- in men’s lives, too. 1. “Behind every successful man there is a woman:” means______. A. men are always successful but not women B. women are not willing to stand in front of men C. women do play an important part in men’s lives and work D .women can be as successful as men 2.Which of the following is NOT true? A. Some American women want to work side by side with men and get the same pay for the same work. B. Most American women want to be more successful than men. C. Not every American woman wants to get a job. D. The American women’s liberation movement did make some changes in women’s lives. 3.“Not nearly as far as I’m going to go” means ______. A. I’m still going to work farther away from home B. I’m not going to work far away from home C. I’m not satisfied with what I’ve done D. What I have done is not far from success 4.The American women’s liberation movement ________. A. has still a long way to go B. is a failure C. was started by many successful women D. is a new thing not accepted by the writer

Statuses are wonderful human inventions that enable us to get along with one another and to determine where we "fit" in society. In our everyday lives whenever we meet people, we always try to judge them in terms of their statuses. For example, we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian, whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman and so on. Our statuses often vary with the people we meet, and change through life. Most of us can, at very high speed, assume(表现出) the different statuses that various situations require. Much of social communication consists of recognizing and selecting among proper statuses and allowing other people to assume their statuses in relation to us. This means that we fit our actions to those of other people, based on a constant mental process of assessment and understanding. Although some of us find the task more difficult than others, most of us perform it rather easily. A status has been compared to ready-made clothes. Within certain limits the buyer can choose style and material. But an American is not free to choose the clothes of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince. We must choose from among the clothing presented by our society. Furthermore, our choice is limited to a size that will fit, as well as by our wallet. Having made a choice within these limits, we can have certain changes made. But apart from small adjustments, we tend to be limited to what the stores have on their shelves. Statuses too come ready-made, and the range of choice among them is limited. 1.According to the writer, people often assume different statuses______. A. in order to distinguish themselves from others B. in order to better recognize other people C. as their mental processes change D. as the situation changes 2.In the last sentence of the second paragraph, “it” refers to “___” A. constant mental process B. selecting one’s own statuses C. recognition of other people’s statuses D. fitting our actions to those of other properly 3.What can be the best title for this text? A. Proper Relations. B. Limited Choices. C. Judgment of Statuses. D. Comparison of Clothes.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项（选项中有两项为多余选项）．并在答案卡上将该项涂黑。 Urbanization Until relatively recently, the vast majority of human beings lived and died without ever seeing a city. The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago. 1._ . In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (乡村的) villages. It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history--- a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living. Britain was only the beginning. 2._ .The process of urbanization--- the migration (迁移) of people from the countryside to the city--- was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live. In 1990, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms. 3. . Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies, it took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities. _4. . Until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite(精英) and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city. Over the past two centuries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country. 5._ . Today, instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers. A. That kept cities very small. B. The rest live in small towns. C. The effects of urban living on people should be considered. D. Soon many other industrial nations become urban societies. E. But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities. F. Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive. G. Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.
