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.

36. A. false B. true C. interesting D. boring

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

People used to say, “The hand that rocks (摇) the cradle (摇篮) rules the world.” and “Behind every successful man there is a woman.”

Both these sayings mean the same thing. Men rule the world, but their mothers and wives rule them.

Most American women wish to make their husbands and sons successful, but some of them want more for themselves. They want good jobs. When they work they want to be better paid. They want to be as successful as men.

The American women’s liberation movement was started by women who didn’t want to stand behind successful men. They wanted to stand beside men, with the same chance for success. They refused to work side by side with men who do the same work for a higher pay.

A liberated woman must be proud of being a woman and have confidence in herself. If somebody says to her, “You have come a long way, baby.” she will smile and answer, “Not nearly as far as I’m going to go, baby!”

This movement is quite new, and many American women don’t agree yet. But it has already made some important changes in women’s lives--- in men’s lives, too.

57. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Some American women want to work side by side with men and get the same pay for

the same work.

B. Most American women want to be more successful than men.

C. Not every American woman wants to get a job.

D. The American women’s liberation movement did make some changes in women’s lives.

58. “Not nearly as far as I’m going to go” means ______.

A. I’m still going to work farther away from home

B. I’m not going to work far away from home

C. I’m not satisfied with what I’ve done

D. What I have done is not far from success

59. The American women’s liberation movement ________.

A. have still a long way to go

B. is a failure

C. was started by many successful women

D. is a new thing not accepted by the writer
