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.

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。
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。

In business, there’s a speed difference: It’s the difference between how important a firm’s leaders say speed is to their competitive(竞争的) strategy(策略) and how fast the company actually moves.The difference is important regardless of industry and company size. Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.
In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that chose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track.What's more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up” improved their top and bottom lines, averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-year period.
How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better? They thought differently about what “slower” and “faster” mean.Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operational speed (moving quickly) and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value).Simply increasing the speed of production, for example, may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference.But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services.
In our study, higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary. They became more open to ideas and discussion.They encouraged new ways of thinking.And they allowed time to look back and learn.By contrast (相比而言), performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time, paid too much attention to improving efficiency, stuck to tested methods, didn't develop team spirit among their employees, and had little time thinking
about changes.
Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership.Teams that regularly take time to get things right, rather than plough ahead full bore, are more successful in meeting their business goals.That kind of strategy must come from the top.
小题1:What does the underlined part “gain an edge” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Increase the speed.    B.Reach the limit.
C.Get an advantage.D.Set a goal.
小题2:The underlined part “the laws of business physics” in Paragraph 3 means ________.
A.spending more time and performing worse
B.spending more time and performing better
C.spending less time and performing worse
D.spending less time and performing better
小题3:What can we learn from the text?
A.How fast a firm moves depends on how big it is.
B.How competitive a firm is depends on what it produces.
C.Firms guided by strategic speed take time to make necessary changes.
D.Firms guided by operational speed take time to develop necessary team spirit.
小题4:Which could be the best title for the text?
A.Improve quality? Serve better.B.Deliver value? Plough ahead.
C.Reduce time? Move faster.D.Need speed? Slow down.

Kong Zi, also called Confucius (551—479B.C.), and Socrates(苏格拉底) (469—399 B.C.) lived only a hundred years apart, and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece, but it is interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas, and how these ideas in turn, shaped their societies.
Neither philosopher lived in times of peace, though there were more wars in Greece than in China. The Chinese states were very large and feudal, while the Greek city-states were small and urban. The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical (激进的) than Confucius. Unlike Confucius, Socrates was not asked by rulers how to govern effectively. Thus, Socrates was able to be more idealistic, focusing on issues like freedom, and knowledge for its own sake. Confucius, on the other hand, advised those in government service, and many of his students went out to government service.
Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life: "Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you." He assumed that all men were equal at birth, though some had more potential than others, and that it was knowledge that set men apart. Socrates focused on the individual, and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom. He believed that the superior class should rule the inferior (下层的) classes.
For Socrates, the family was of no importance, and the community of little concern. For Confucius, however, the family was the centre of the society, with family relations considered much more important than political relations.
Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.
小题1:Which of the following is TURE according to the first paragraph?
A.Socrates and Confucius had much in common
B.Confucius had much influence on Socrates’ ideas.
C.The societies were influenced by the philosophers’ ideas.
D.There were cultural exchanges between China and Greece.
小题2:Socrates shared with Confucius the idea that ________.
A. all men were equal when they were born
B. the lower classed should be ruled by the upper class
C. the purpose of man was to seek freedom and wisdom
小题3:What made some people different from others according to Confucius?
A.Family.B.Potential.C.Knowledge.D.Community.
小题4:This passage is organized in the pattern of ________.
A.time and eventsB.comparison and contrast
C.cause and effectD.definition and classification

Loren Gladstone of Toronto is 58, but thinking over how to bequeath (遗赠) his digital property(财产). Doing the paperwork after his parents' death was a challenge. “When my time comes, I wonder if my children will even know what paper is,” he says. As a software developer, his virtual property is both valuable and vital to his business. That reflects a problem. Online lives have increasing economic and emotional value. But testamentary (遗嘱) laws offer confusing and incomplete ways of bequeathing and inheriting (继承) them.
Digital property may include software, websites, downloaded content, online gaming identities, social-media accounts and even e-mails. In Britain alone holdings of digital music may be worth over £9 billion ($14 billion). A fifth of respondents to a Chinese local-newspaper survey said they had over 5,000 yuan($790) of digital property. And value does not lie only in money.“Anyone with kids under 14 years old probably has two prints of them and the rest are in online galleries,”says Nathan Lustig of Entrustet, a company that helps people manage digital property.
Service providers have different rules—and few state them clearly in their terms and conditions. Many give users a personal right to use an account, but nobody else, even after death. Facebook allows relatives to close an account or turn it into a memorial page. Gmail (run by Google) will provide copies of e-mails to an executor (遗嘱执行人). Music downloaded via iTunes is held under a license which can be abolished on death. Apple declined to comment on the record on this or other policies. All e-mail and data on its iCloud service are deleted on the death of the owner.
This has led to cases to court in America. In 2004 the family of Justin Ellsworth, an army man killed in Iraq, took Yahoo! to court in Michigan to get copies of his e-mails. This year, a court in Oregon ruled that another American mother whose son had died could use her dead son's password to enter his Facebook account for a short period. Now five American states have made laws giving executors control over the social-networking accounts of dead users.
But this raises the subject of privacy. Passing music on is one thing; not everyone may want their relatives to read their e-mails. Colin Pearson, a London-based lawyer, says access should come only with a clear provision in a will.
But laws, wills and password safes may be contrary to the providers' terms of service, especially when the executor is in one country and the data in another. Headaches for the living and lots of lovely work for lawyers.
小题1:Why does Loren begin to think over how to bequeath his digital property at the age of 58?
A.Because he is afraid his children don't know what paper is.
B.Because there's no complete law dealing with digital property.
C.Because his digital property is of great value and importance.
D.Because he is worried his children will be taken to court.
小题2:Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A.Digital property is assessed in terms of nothing except money.
B.No laws in America have been made to deal with digital property.
C.The relatives may read the e-mail of the dead without permission.
D.Lawyers can make money through cases about digital property.
小题3:Facebook, Google and Apple have a similar rule that ________.
A.users are offered accounts used by nobody else except users themselves
B.relatives of the dead may close an account or use it at their own will
C.the executor may enter the e-mail and read it by themselves at any time
D.the data downloaded by the dead will be copied and then deleted from net
小题4:Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
A.Digital InformationB.Testamentary Laws
C.Deathless DataD.Vital Property

In times of economic crisis. Americans turn to their families for support. If the Great Depression is any guide, we may see a drop in our skyhigh divorce rate. But this won't necessarily represent. an increase in happy marriages. In the long run, the Depression weakened American families, and the current crisis will probably do the same.
  We tend to think of the Depression as a time when families pulled together to survive huge job losses, By 1932. when nearly one-quarter of the workforce was unemployed, the divorce rate had declined by around 25% from 1929 But this doesn't mean people were suddenly happier with their marriages. Rather, with incomes decreasing and insecure jobs, unhappy couples often couldn't afford to divorce. They feared neither spouse could manage alone.
  Today, given the job losses of the past year, fewer unhappy couples will risk starting separate households, Furthermore, the housing market meltdown will make it more difficult for them to finance their separations by selling their homes.
  After financial disasters family members also tend to do whatever they can to help each other and their communities, A 1940 book. The Unemployed Man and His Family, described a family in which the husband initially reacted to losing his job "with tireless search for work."He was always active, looking for odd jobs to do.
  The problem is that such an impulse is hard to sustain Across the country, many similar families were unable to maintain the initial boost in morale(士气). For some, the hardships of life without steady work eventually overwhelmed their attempts to keep their families together. The divorce rate rose again during the rest of the decade as the recovery took hold.
  Millions of American families may now be in the initial stage of their responses to the current crisis, working together and supporting one another through the early months of unemployment.
  Today's economic crisis could well generate a similar number of couples whose relationships have been irreparably(无法弥补地)ruined. So it's only when the economy is healthy again that we'll begin to see just how many broken families have been created.
小题1:In the initial stage, the current economic crisis is likely to __________.
A.tear many troubled families apart
B.contribute to enduring family ties
C.bring about a drop in the divorce rate
D.cause a lot of conflicts in the family
小题2:In the Great Depression many unhappy couples close to stick together because
A.starting a new family would be hard
B.they expected things would turn better
C.they wanted to better protect their kids
D.living separately would be too costly
小题3:In addition to job losses. What stands in the way of unhappy couples getting a divorce?
A.Mounting family debts
B.A sense of insecurity
C.Difficulty in getting a loan
D.Falling housing prices
小题4:What will the current economic crisis eventually do to some married couples?
A.It will force them to pull their efforts together
B.It will undermine their mutual understanding
C.It will help strengthen their emotional bonds
D.It will irreparably damage their relationship
小题5:What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.The economic recovery will see a higher divorce rate
B.Few couples can stand the test of economic hardships
C.A stable family is the best protection against poverty.
D.Money is the foundation of many a happy marriage

Why 2012 was the best year ever
It may not feel like it, but 2012 has been the greatest year in the history of the world. Never has there been less hunger, less disease or more prosperity (繁荣). The West remains in the economic depression, but most developing countries are charging ahead, and people are being lifted out of poverty at the fastest rate ever recorded. The number of deaths caused by war and natural disasters is also mercifully low. We are living in a golden age.
Take global poverty as an example. In 1990, the UN announced Millennium Development Goals, the first of which was to halve the number of people in extreme poverty by 2015. It turned out this year that the target was met in 2008.
The doom-mongers (末世论者) will tell you that we cannot maintain worldwide economic growth without ruining our environment. But while the rich world’s economies grew by 6 per cent over the last seven years, fossil fuel (矿物燃料) consumption in those countries fell by 4 per cent. This remarkable achievement has nothing to do with green taxes or wind-farms. It is down to consumer demand for more efficient cars.
Advances in medicine and technology mean that people across the world are living longer. The average life span in Africa reached 55 this year. Ten years ago, it was 50. The number of people dying from Aids has been in decline for the last eight years. Deaths from malaria have fallen by a fifth in half a decade.
War has historically been human’s biggest killer. But in most of the world today, a generation is growing up that knows little of it. The Peace Research Institute in Oslo says there have been fewer war deaths in the last decade than any time in the last century.
Fifty years ago, the world was breathing a sigh of relief after the Cuban missile crisis. Young couples would discuss whether it was responsible to have children when the future seemed so dark. But now, it’s worth remembering that, in spite of all our problems, the forces of peace, progress and prosperity are prevailing (占优势).
小题1:What has caused the decrease in the fossil fuel consumption?
A.People have to pay heavier taxes on fossil fuel.
B.There are more and more renewable resources now.
C.There is a sharp decline in the number of cars.
D.People are purchasing more energy-saving cars.
小题2: Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.People don’t suffer from malaria any more.
B.There were many more war deaths in the last century.
C.The young generation shows little interest in war.
D.The number of Aids-affected people is declining.
小题3: Which one does NOT help prove that 2012 was the best year ever?
A.Fewer natural disasters occurred.B.Global poverty relieved.
C.Cuban missile crisis ended.D.Technology and medicine advanced.
小题4: The author tries to inform people that _______.
A.2012 witnessed more advances in developed countries
B.2012 brought us less starvation and more prosperity
C.2012 saw economic growth as well as environmental destruction
D.2012 provided us with a peaceful world free from conflicts
