　　阅读理解题

　　Beware(堤防) of those who use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression.

　　For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and changed it for one hundred dollars!”

　　This guy’s a winner, right?Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was winner. He’s really a big loser!

　　He didn’t say anything that was false, but he deliberately omitted important information. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.

　　Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this tactic. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she sought another term. One of her opponents ran an advertisement saying “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 claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might boast, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky pills to cure nose pimples(粉刺).” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.

　　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.

　　1.In which of the following situations is a person telling a half-truth?

　　A. When somebody is telling a white lie.

　　B. When somebody is making up information.

　　C. When somebody is saying something that is wrong.

　　D. When somebody is intentionally leaving out important information.

　　2.It can be inferred from the passage that_____.

　　A. advertisers always make false claims

　　B. advertisements can be misleading due to partial information

　　C. Yucky pills are effective in curing nose pimples

　　D. the Yucky Corporation has a bad reputation for its drug

　　3.The underlined word “deception”(para.7) is closest in meaning to “_____”.

　　A. dishonesty

　　B. suggestion

　　C. situation

　　D. failure

　　4.The author clearly wants people to______.

　　A. think carefully about what they read and hear

　　B. be firm supporters of a particular candidate in political campaigns

　　C. never place their trust in lottery winners

　　D. vote for female candidates in political campaigns

　　5.An appropriate title for this passage would be______.

　　A. It Pays to Be Honest

　　B. Everyone Lies

　　C. Lying with the Truth

　　D. An Important Tactic in Advertising

　　答案解析

　　1、【答案】D

　　【考点】事实细节题

　　【精析】D题干大意是：下列哪种场景中一个人在讲半真半假的话?根据第四段第一、二句“He didn’t say anything that was false,but he deliberately omitted important information.That’s called a half-truth.”可知，虽然一个人说的都是真话，但如果他遗漏了一些重要信息，那么他说的话就是半真半假的话。

　　2、【答案】B

　　【考点】推理判断题

　　【精析】 B 题干大意是：我们可以从文章推断出____。根据第六段第二句“It’s against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth.”可知，发布虚假声明是违法的，所以广告商们试图用事实来误导消费者们。由此可知，由于信息不完全，所以广告有时会具有误导性，因此选项B正确。A 项与题意不符;选项C、D在文中没有提及。故选B。

　　3、【答案】A

　　【考点】主旨大意题

　　【精析】A 题干大意是：与画线词“deception”(第七段)意思最相近的是“______”。通读全文并根据最后一段最后一句“...Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.”可知，本文主要讲的是用事实来行骗，所以此处deception意为“欺骗” ; dishonestly:不诚实，欺骗;suggestion:建议;situation:情况，状况;failure:失败。四个选项中A项与其意思最相近。故选A。

　　4、【答案】A

　　【考点】主旨大意题

　　【精析】 A 题干大意是：很明显，作者想让人们_____。根据第一句“Beware of those who use the truth to deceive.”可知，作者提醒人们小心那些用事实来行骗的人。另外，根据文章第二至六段的内容可知，作者告诉人们使用半真半假的话这一策略不仅发生在日常生活中，而且经常被应用于政治选举和广告中。由此可推知，作者旨在告诫人们应理性对待听和所看到的东西。故选A。

　　5、【答案】C

　　【考点】主旨大意题

　　【精析】题干大意是：这篇文章合适的题目是_____。文章第一段第一句点名了主旨：小心那些用事实来行骗的人。在接下来的五段作者分别以彩票获奖者的谎言、竞选运动中的谎言和广告中的谎言为例论证这一观点。并在最后一段提出：谎言就是谎言，而有时候事实也可能成为谎言，旨在提醒人们理性看待所听到的和所见到的事情。A项意为“诚实是有好处的”;B项意为“每个人都会说谎”;C项意为“用事实来说谎”;D项意为“广告中的一个重要策略”。C项最能概括文章大意。故选C。
