Beware of those who use the truth to deceive. 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 in 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 tactic（策略，手段）. 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 ad 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 ad might boast, “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 deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

In the world today, there are millions of surveillance cameras, or “spy cams”, watching and monitoring our daily activities. There are some benefits of course, as people who are breaking laws can be watched and caught using cameras and this helps keep our society and public places safe. These cameras are everywhere and most are openly visible on roads, in airports, businesses, shopping centers and government buildings and even in lifts. Even schools have started using spy cams to watch student activity and behaviour.
The cameras are so common now that we hardly ever even notice them. But the problem lies with the ones that are hidden away from our eyes and are unseen. Technology has helped develop tiny cameras that can be very well hidden and they can “spy” on shoppers, workers, babysitters and people in hotels and clubs without the people even knowing.
It is these spy cams that people feel are an invasion of privacy. Recently, in the US, there have been a number of court cases against babysitters whose actions have been recorded by their employers on hidden cameras.
The number of cameras in public and private areas is on the increase and with rising crime rates and the recent terrorist attacks, more and more surveillance cameras are being used to watch us. This means that we all have to be aware that our employers, department stores, police and even some of our friends could be spying on us at any time!
小题1:In the writer’s opinion, surveillance cameras _______. .| A．do more good than wrong | | B．are overused | | C．should be very popular | | D．ought to be more widely used |
小题2:In what way can the surveillance camera benefit the public?| A．By helping keep social safety. | | B．By monitoring the employees. | | C．By watching the students in class. | | D．By spying on customers. |
小题3:According to Paragraphs 3 and 4, people _______ the use of hidden cameras.| A．object to | | B．agree to | | C．feel happy about | | D．are fearful of |
小题4:Spy cams will be more widely used in the future because _______. .| A．all people want to spy | | B．of the invasion of privacy | | C．people enjoy being watched | | D．of terrorist attacks |

The practice of magic includes special words, actions, and objects. Most magic involves a person called a magician, who claims to have supernatural powers. Magic words.
To work most magic, the magician sings or speaks special words in a certain order. These words are called incantations or spells. Some spells form prayers to demons(魔鬼), spirits, or other supernatural forces. Many societies believe the magic will not work unless the magician recites the spells perfectly. Other magic words have no meaning, though they supposedly possess power when spoken by a magician. Magic actions accompany the words spoken in performing much magic. Many of these movements act out the desired effect of the magic. For example, a magician trying to make rain fall may sprinkle(洒) water on the ground. The magician"s combined words and actions form a ceremony. Magic objects include certain plants, stones, and other things with supposed supernatural powers. Any such object may be called a fetish(物神). But this term often refers to an object—for example, a carving or a dried snake—honored by a tribe for its magic powers. Many tribes believe fetishes have magic power because spirits live in these objects. Many people carry magic objects called amulets(护身符)to protect themselves from harm. Many amulets are stones or rings engraved(雕刻) with magic symbols.
The magician, in some societies, nearly everyone knows how to work some magic. In other societies, only experts practice magic. Magicians may be called medicine men, medicine women, shamans, sorcerers, or witch doctors. In many societies, magicians must inherit(遗传) their powers. In others, any person may become a magician by studying the magical arts.
Many societies believe magicians must observe certain rules and taboos (forbidden actions) for their spells to work. For example, they may be required not to eat various foods or to avoid sexual activity for a certain period before the ceremony.
小题1:What do magic words mean to people in some society? | A．They have the power to kill devils. | | B．They have power if magician recites the right spells. | | C．They have no effect at all. | | D．They can be used whenever they want. |
小题2:Why do many people believe in a fetish? | A．Because it is often a ring which is worth a lot of money. | | B．Because it is carved with magic symbols. | | C．Because people think spirits live in it. | | D．Because it can help them with many things. |
小题3:What"s the best title of the passage? | A．How Magicians make Magic Work | B．The Power of Magic | | C．How to Practice Magic | D．The Choice of Magicians |

阅读下面短文，并根据要求完成文章后的题目。(请将答案写在答题卡对应题号的横线上。)
Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing whether there will be opportunities for promotion (晋升), happiness and security. As a result, they are employed in doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction.
Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living. Some stay long at a job and learn to like it; others leave one for another looking for something to suit them. The young graduates leave the university with the dream of looking for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation.
Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and the limits of their own abilities. The cause behind all this confusion is that there has never been a proper vocational（职业的） guidance in our educational institutions. Nearly all the graduates feel their way in the dark. Their chief concern is the salary. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them. Having a job is more than merely providing one and one’ s dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment. It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines a person ’s social status in life and selection of friends, leisure and interest.
In choosing a profession, one should first consider which type of work will suit his or her interest. Nothing is sadder than taking on a job in which one has no interest, for it will not only ruin one’ s talents but also discourage one’ s desire to succeed in life.
小题1:According to Paragraph l, why do many young people find their jobs unsatisfactory? (within 10 words)

Millions of Americans return from long-distance trips by air, but their luggage doesn’t always come home with them. Airline identification tags（标签） can come loose, and the bags go who-knows-where. And passengers leave all kinds of things on planes.
The airlines collect the items and, for 90 days, attempt to find their owners. They don’t keep them, since they’re not in the warehouse business. And by law, they cannot sell the bags, because the airlines might be tempted to deliberately misplace luggage.
So once insurance companies have paid for lost bags and their contents, and they no longer belong to passengers, a unique store in the little town of Scottsboro, Alabama, buys them. The “Unclaimed Baggage Center,” is so popular that the building, which is set up like a department store, is the number-one tourist attraction in all of Alabama. More than one million visitors stop in each year and take one of the store’s shopping carts on a hunt for treasures.
Each day, clerks bring out 7,000 new items, and veteran（老练的）shoppers rush to paw over them. You can find everything from precious jewels to hockey sticks, best-selling novels, leather jackets, tape recorders, surfboards, even half -used tubes of toothpaste.
The store’s own laundry washes or cleans all the clothes found in luggage, then sells them. The Unclaimed Baggage Center has found guns, illegal drugs and even a live rattlesnake.
The store has a little museum where some of its most unusual acquisitions（获得物） have been preserved. They include highland bagpipes, a burial mask from an Egyptian pharaoh"s tomb, and a medieval suit of armor.
Statistics indicate that less than one-half of one percent of luggage checked on U.S. carriers is permanently lost and available to the store.
小题1:Paragraph1 shows that many passengers lose their luggage because______.| A．they are forgetful | | B．the owners of some luggage can’t be identified | | C．they are in a hurry | | D．there is no lost and found office in many airports |
小题2:The reason why the airlines cannot sell the bags is that ______.| A．they have to find the owners | | B．they have to keep the bags as long as possible | | C．some bags are expensive | | D．they are likely to make a profit on the bags on purpose |
小题3:The Unclaimed Baggage Center is very popular because______.| A．visitors may purchase something undervalued. | | B．all thethings there are very cheap. | | C．there"s a large variety of goods. | | D．visitors will enjoy some amusing activities there. |
小题4:What can we infer from the passage?| A．A little museum will keep all the precious unclaimed baggage. | | B．The things in the Unclaimed Baggage Center are articles for daily use. | | C．The percentage of passengers who lose their baggage for ever is small. | | D．People are not allowed to buy the illegal things in the store. |
小题5:What is the main purpose of the passage?| A．To introduce an attractive place to tourists. | | B．To remind passengers of taking care of their baggage. | | C．To advise the airlines to find the owners of the unclaimed baggage. | | D．To introduce how the unclaimed baggage in the airports is handled in America. |
