三、阅读理解
18. When we are young we are taught that it’s wrong to lie and we should always tell the truth. Unfortunately, most children lie even if they’re told not to. Research carried out at the Institute of Child Study at Toronto Univercity has shown that this might not be such a bad thing. Apparently (显然地), children who tell lies when they’re two years old have a good chance of becoming successful adults (成年人).
According to the research, at the age of two, 20 per cent of children lie. At the age of three, 50 per cent lie, and at four almost 90 per cent lie. By the age of 12 almost every child tells lies.
Lying needs much brain work, and the better the lie is, the more work the brain has to do. By training the brain early, researchers believe children will be able to think more clearly when they are adults.
Recent research, carried out by the Science Museum in London, has shown some interesting facts about the way we lie as adults. According to the research, the average British man te lls three lies every day; that’s over 1,000 lies a year. However, the average woman apparently only lies twice a day.
Most people think women are better liars (说谎者) than men although in fact they tell fewer lies. Popular women’s lies include ‘Nothing’s wrong, I’m fine’, ‘I don’t know where it is, I haven’t touched it’, and ‘It wasn’t that expensive’.
Some people say you can lie as long as it’s a white lie. A white lie is a lie told to avoid hurting someone’s feelings. One of the most common lies for both me n and women is ‘It’s just what I’ve always wanted’, said after opening a present from their partner.
8. What will happen to young children who lie?A. They will possibly do wrong later.
B. They’re likely to succeed in the future.
C. They will keep lying when they grow up.
D. They may have a good chance of losing others’ trust.
9. What do the numbers in Para. 2 show about children?
A. Older children tell bigger lies than younger ones.
B. As they grow they often lie about their age.
C. The older they are, the more likely they lie.
D. It’s quite natural for them to tell lies.
10. What did the research by the Science Museum find out?
A. Men lie more than women.
B. Women are better liars than men.
C. Women’s lies are usually not serious.
D. Men sometimes have to lie to women.
11. What’s the true feeling behind the underlined part in the last paragraph?
A. You know me so well.
B. I don’t like the present.
C. You are good at picking presents.
D. I haven’t received a present I really like.
参考答案：
8. B 9. C 10. A 11. B
本文是说明文。

文章主要是有关谎言的调查研究。

【8题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第一段中的children who tell lies when they’re two years old have a good chance of becoming successful adults (成年人).(两岁时说谎的孩子很有可能成为成功的成年人)可知，撒谎的小孩在以后很可能会取得成功。

故选B。

【9题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第二段的研究结果According to the research, at the age of two, 20 per cent of children lie. At the age of three, 50 per cent lie, and at four almost 90 per cent lie. By the age of 12 almost every child tells lies.(根据这项研究，20%的儿童在两岁时撒谎。

三岁时，50%的孩子撒谎，四岁时，90%的孩子撒谎。

到了12岁，几乎每个孩子都会说谎。

)可知，随着孩子年龄的增长，其说谎的概率也在增长。

故选C。

【10题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第四段中的According to the research, the average British man tells three lies every day; that’s over 1,000 lies a year. However, the average woman apparently only lies twice a day.“调查显示，英国男性平均每天说谎三次;一年就有超过1000个谎言。

然而，女性平均每天只会说谎两次。

”可知，男性比女性说的谎多。

故选A。

【11题详解】
词义猜测题。

划线部分是上一句A white lie is a lie told to avoid hurting someone’s feelings.说明善意的谎言是一种谎言，以避免伤害某人的感情；下文said after opening a present from their partner说明，这句话是在收到来自伙伴的礼物后说的话可推断，由此可知，划线部分是一句善意的谎言，其实说话者并不喜欢这件礼物。

故选B。
