Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B,
27、C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 What exactly is a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you. You say, “I wish I could help you but Im short of money myself. “In fact, you ar
28、e not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you dont want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is tins really a lie? Professor Jerald Jellison of the University of Southern California has made a scientific study of lying. According to him, women are bet
29、ter liars than men are, particularly when telling a “white lie“ , such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks awful. However, this is only one side of me story. Other researchers say that men are more likely to tell more serious lies,
30、such as making a promise which they have no intention of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at-the lie from which me liar hopes to profit or gain in some way. Research has also been done into the way peoples behavior changes in a n
31、umber of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying: “I wish I were somewhere else now. “They also tend to touch certain parts of the f
32、ace more often, in particular the nose. One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure. The top of the nose is very sensitive to such changes and the increased pressure makes it itch. Another gesture which gives liars away is what the writer Desmond Morris wrote
33、 in his book. Man calls “the mouth cover. “ He says there are several typical forms of this, such as covering part of the mouth with the fingers, touching the upper-lip or putting a finger of the hand at one side of the mouth. Such gesture can be understood as an unconscious attempt on the part of t
34、he liar to stop himself or herself from lying. Of course, such gestures as rubbing the nose or covering the mouth, or moving about in a chair cannot be taken as proof that the speaker is lying. They simply tend to occur more frequently in this situation. It is not one gesture a-lone that gives the l
35、iars away but a whole number of things and in particular the context in which die lie is told. 46 According to the passage, a “white lie“seems to be a lie_. （ A） told in order to take advantage of someone （ B） told in order to avoid offending someone （ C） that other people dont believe （ D） that oth
36、er people believe 47 Research suggests that women_. （ A） often make promises they intend to break （ B） he at parties more often than men do （ C） are better at telling less serious lies than men are （ D） generally lie far more than men do 48 Researchers find that when a person tells lies_. （ A） he us
37、es his unconscious mind （ B） he tends to make some small changes in his behavior （ C） he looks very serious （ D） his blood pressure increases measurably 49 One reason people sometimes rub their noses when they lie is that_. （ A） the nose is sensitive to physical changes caused by lying （ B） they wan
38、t to cover their mouths （ C） they are trying to stop themselves from telling lies （ D） they wish they were somewhere else 50 Which of the following may best betray a liar? （ A） The touch of the tip of ones nose. （ B） The mouth covergesture. （ C） The circumstances in which his lie is told. （ D） The c
39、hanges of ones behavior. 50 When Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected President of the United States in 1932, not only the United States but also the rest of the world was in the throes of an economic depression. Following the termination of World War I, Britain and the United States at first experienc
40、ed a boom in industry, called the Roaring Twenties, the 1920s ushered in a number of things prosperity, greater equality for women in the work world, rising consumption, and easy credit. The outlook for American business was rosy. October 1929 was a month that had catastrophic economic reverberation
41、s worldwide. The American stock market witnessed the “Great Crash“ as it is called, and the temporary boom in the American economy came to a standstill. Stock prices sank, and panic spread. The ensuing unemployment figure soared to 12 million by 1932. Germany in the postwar years suffered from extre
42、me deprivation because of the burden of some compensation it was obliged to pay to the Allies. The countrys industrial capacity had been greatly diminished by the war. Inflation, political instability, and high unemployment were factors helpful to the growth of the initial Nazi party. Germans had lo
43、st confidence in their old leaders and heralded the arrival of a messiah like figure that would lead them out of their e-conomic wilderness. Hitler promised jobs and, once elected, kept his promise by providing employment in the party, in the newly expanded army, and in munitions factories. Roosevel
44、t was elected because he promised a “New Deal“ to lift the United States out of the doldrums of the depression. Following the principles advocated by Keynes, a British economist, Roosevelt collected the spending captives of the federal government to provide welfare, work, and agricultural aid to the
45、 millions of down and out Americans.

47、es （ D） a slump in the stock market 53 We can infer that the author of this passage_. （ A） disapproves of Roosevelts “New Deal“ （ B） thinks the Depression could have been avoided （ C） blames the Depression on the “Great Crash“ （ D） feels there was some similarity between Roosevelt and Hitler 54 The
