Half-Truths
Be aware of (当心) 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 turned it in 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 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.
Untrust worthy candidates (候选人) in political campaigns often use this method, 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 ter m. One of her opponents runs an ad saying , “During Governor Smith’s term, the sate 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 ad might boast, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend (推荐) Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” 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.
64．Which statement is true according to the article? ( )
A．You can’t trust doctors.
B．All governors help their states.
C．The truth can be used in dishonest ways.
D．Whenever people tell the truth, they are really lying.
65．The underlined word“deceive”mean“_______”. ( )
A．prove what they know is untrue
B．cause someone to accept as true
C．force you to believe something
D．pay no attention to
66．The author clearly wants people to _______. ( )
A．never trust anyone
B．vote for female candidates
C．think carefully about what they read and hear
D．wear mismatched socks during political campaigns
67．Another possible title for this selection would be _____. ( )
A．Nose Pimples B．Everyone Lies
C．Natural Cat Food D．Lying With the Truth

Question: What is more astonishing than a 60-ton whale on a flatbed truck being driven down the street?
Answer: A 60-ton whale on a flatbed truck exploding and raining blubber (fat of whales )all over the sidewalk.
That’s what happened in Taiwan recently, when a dead sperm whale being shipped to the Halobios Research Centre for an autopsy developed an extremely bad case of gas and blew up before it reached its destination.
The whale was apparently found alive on a Taiwan beach last weekend, and died shortly after it was discovered. Since the 56-foot whale was the largest whale ever beached on Taiwan’s shores, scientists wanted to study it and perform an autopsy for educational purpose.
Apparently, too much time passed between when the animal died and the time it was set to be moved to the autopsy location, because it had already started to decompose, When things decompose, they give off gasses as a by-product , In the whale’s case, the gasses we re trapped in its belly. The pressure inside the decomposing creature grew so much that it popped like an over-filled balloon. Unfortunately, it was on a truck in the middle of the city of Taiwan at the time-cars and shops lining the street were covered with whale bits and juices, much to their owners’ discouragement.
According to news reports, traffic was tied up for hours while officials tried to clean up the streets.
Incidentally, newspaper editors worldwide were probably smiling to themselves, since they had a ready made headline-several reports about the incident were titled“Thar She Blows!，”after the famous line from the book Moby Dick.
68．The purpose of the question at the beginning of this news report is to _____. ( ) A．attract readers B．sell newspapers
C．explain the reason D．give an immediate answer
69．The whale’s explosion is the resulf of _____. ( )
A．the length of time for the transport of the creature from the beach to the centre
B．pressure from gases building up in the creature as it began to decompose
C．the quick process of decomposing of the animal
D．the extremely busy traffic in the streets it passed by
70．What is the correct order of the incidents? ( )
a. The whale was set to a flatbed truck.
b. The whale was discovered.
c. The whale explode
d.
d. The whale died.
A．b; c; a; d B．b; d; a; c C．d; c; b; a D．d; b; a; c
71．What do we know from the last paragraph? ( )
A．The title “Thar She Blows!” is taken from the book Moby Dick.
B．All the newspaper reported the story under the same title.
C．Moby Dick is the name of a woman writer.
D．Some newspaper editors were laughed at.
E
I am an elementary school teacher. I think homework should be done by the child and it
should take only about a half an hour. Parents should write a note if they had to help a lot, this tells the teacher that the day’s lesson needs more review. Some things are more easily learned if they are practiced at home. Students should develop independence and organization. I send home fairly simple homework because I do not wish to see how creative mom, dad, the neighbors and grandma are with large projects… what is this teaching the child? Independence? Creativity?
Many readers are noticing the alarming trend (趋势) to test, test, test. These new tests are not like the ones we remember. They are really difficult and abstract. Besides the usual math problems, third and fourth grade tests now ask about probability (概率) , tessellations and flips, slides, turns. Some teachers have had to increase the pace of their instruction to cover all the topics that will appear on the tests, thus, they send home homework that kids may not fully understand or send more homework home so they can, they hope, cover more content faster. It’s not a good idea, but the trend of testing has driven teachers to push, push, push. Parents should be concerned about the testing that is such an important issue. I would advice parents to talk to the teacher if they find the homework too hard. Is the child not getting work done at school. Or is it simply too much? Some teachers will change the amount of work. And yes, I have been on the other side of the blackboard and had to make my son and daughter do their homework. I was a stickler for not doing it for them.
72．The passage might be an opinion posted on the internet under the title _____. ( ) A．How Should Homework Done Independently by Students
B．Should Parents Contribute to Kids’ Homework
C．Should You Say No to Homework
D．How Should Test Papers Be Written
73．According to the writer. _____. ( )
A．reasonable amount of easy homework is necessary
B．neighbors are not creative and independent enough
C．homework is good to children and teachers
D．parents are placed too much burden by teachers
74．The tests referred to by the author _____. ( )
A．are questioned about the possibilities to solve the math problems
B．catch up with the increasing number of topics
C．are the result of teachers’ pushing
D．include much more demanding problems
75．Which of the following would the author most likely agree? ( )
A．It is advisable for parents to pay enough attention to their kids’ lessons.
B．It is a good idea for teachers to send some difficult assignments home.
C．It is encouraging for parents to help with their children’s homework
D．It is against the author’s will to m ake his/her children do their homework.

第四部分：
第一小题 A possible version
The main advantage of using public transportation is that it’s cheap and generally much better for the environment, because you are only using one vehicle instead of many. Especially if your buses run on clean air, you can reduce a lot of emissions. Another advantage of public transportation is that it reduces traffic jams. I think public transportation is less stressful because
you don’t have to worry about parking and all that kind of thing, The b ig disadvantage of public transportation is the wait. It’s much more convenient to just jump in your car and take off. Also, you have to follow a route and you have no flexibility with public transportation. Sometimes it can be very uncomfortable, especially during rush hours.
第二小题 A possible version
First of all, you’d better try to find an adult you can trust to talk to. For example, your parents are a good place to start, but if that doesn’t work try teachers or someone else, and simply tell this person about yourself and how you feel. It sometimes seems like everyone else in the world is happy and you are the only one who is miserable. You will be surprised to learn that you are completely normal. I hope this helps and the next day will be better.

M：I know you spent US S 10,000 in setting up a factory to recycle used batteries in 1999.
W：Yes. In 2002, I also invested in a website www. greenearth. org to help more people to understand the importance of environmental protection. That was last year.
M：And you were honored with the Greenest Award by the Green Foundation last April for that.
This May, you won another award from the Ford Foundation for your efforts in environmental protection.
W：Yes, that’s right.
