Ⅲ.阅读理解

Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to cheat? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out (略去) 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 is 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 half­truth. Half truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Some politicians (政客) 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 tries to get another term. One of her opponents (竞争对手) 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 increased two million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half­truths. 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 say that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company. This kind of cheating happens too often. It's a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
1．We may infer (推想) that the author believes people should ________.
A. buy lottery tickets if possible
B. make use of half­truths
C. be careful about what they are told
D. not trust the Yucky Company
答案与解析　C　从第一段可知，有时省略信息的事实也可以给人一个错误的信息画面。C项正确。
2．How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to cheat?
A. One B. Two
C. Three D. Four
答案与解析　C　文章列举了三个例子：买彩票、史密斯政府的失业问题和广告误导。C项正确。
3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Using half truths is against the law.
B. Technically, half truths are in fact lies.
C. Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache.
D. Governor Smith did a good job during her last term.
答案与解析　D　从倒数其次段可知，虚假广告犯法，误导消费者并不犯罪，九个医生为Yucky公司工作，他们的言论不能证明Yucky药可以很好治疗牙痛，排解A、C两项。第四段最终一句可排解B项；依据第五段最终一句可知，D项正确。
4．Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A. He's really a big loser!
B. Sometimes the truth can lie as well.
C. Advertisers will sometimes use half truths.
D. It's against the law to make false statements.
答案与解析　B　文章第一段就是文章的中心。B项正确。
B

At 50 I was the first woman to travel alone to the North Pole. But what should I do to celebrate my 60th birthday? What else, but a journey at the opposite end of the world, Antarctica. I began my almost 400­mile journey on November 1st, 1997. I walked and skied alone. My dog team were not with me to pull my sled (雪橇). Another journey of challenge and danger was about to begin.
The first days the weather was very good. The wind was icy but not very strong and there was bright sunshine 24 hours a day. But changes were just around the corner. On the third day I was struggling through stormy weather and during the next week the wind grew stronger and I found myself spending a whole day in my tent.
I had traveled only two hours one day when the wind increased so much that I had to put my tent up before the wind became too strong. Within a few minutes the wind increased to a howling storm that threatened to blow me and my tent away, but none of that happened.
On November 12th the storm died down. It was my birthday and I wanted to make that day special. I thawed (解冻) a frozen cake over my fire, placed a candle on the top, lit it and sang “happy birthday to me” at the top of my voice.
A few days later, I was moving forward over a slope that seemed safe when suddenly without warning my world dropped out from under my skis. I had fallen into a hole and was hanging on the ropes tied to the sled. A piece of ice fell down and I never heard it land. The bottom was a few hundred feet below. I used to practise self rescue many times in the mountains where I lived and carefully began climbing out. It took a long time but I finally got out. I was thankful for all training I had had.
I was in good health and all of my equipment was working well. I was so happy that I decided that the next day, the 22nd day of the expedition, I would increase my workday to 12 hours.
The next morning I had a bad accident with the sled and hurt my leg. I couldn't stand on my left leg and my head was woozy (眩晕的) from hitting the ground. But I knew that I had to get up. Lying on the ice, I would soon die. I struggled to my knees knowing that somehow I had to put my tent up for shelter. On hands and knees I got the tent up and dragged my sleeping bag into the tent and lay down out of the cold wind.
I had to make a decision. Wait to get better or give up? I had to think of my family, which is very important to me, and do the right thing. I did so without regret. I had met the challenges of solo (独自的) travel in an extreme climate. It is an experience I shall never forget and shall value for the rest of my life.
5. The sun does not go down in Antarctica, so the writer's workdays were usually ________.
A. 12 hours B. more than 12 hours
C. less than 12 hours D. 24 hours
答案与解析　C　依据文章中的“I would increase my workday to 12 hours.”可知，她打算将每天的工作时间增加到12个小时。因此，此前她每天的工作时间确定少于12个小时。
6．The writer was born on ________.
A. 1 November, 1937 B. 12 November, 1937
C. 22 November, 1947 D. 1 November, 1997
答案与解析　B　依据文章中的“On November 12th the storm died down. It was my birthday and I wanted to make that day special.”可知她的诞生日期。再依据第一段中提到的当时是1997年，她60岁，这样可以计算出她的诞生时间是1937年11月12日。
7．On the 22nd day of the expedition the writer had an accident. What happened?
A. She was attacked by a polar bear.
B. Her tent was blown away by the storm.
C. She fell into a hole that was a few hundred feet deep.
D. The sled knocked her over and hurt her leg.
答案与解析　D　依据文章第七段中的“The next morning I had a bad accident with the sled and hurt my leg.”可知事故发生的缘由。
8．What decision did the writer make after the accident?
A. She spent a whole day in her tent.
B. She waited till she got better and continued her journey.
C. She gave up and went back home.
D. She was thankful for all training she had had.
答案与解析　C　由文章最终一段可推知。
