Question

15．Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive （欺騙）？When someone tells you something that is true，but leaves out important information that should be included，he can give you a false picture．
For example，some might say，"I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery （彩票）．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  $200worth of 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．
Some politicians often use this trick．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 term．One of her opponents （對手） says，"During Govemor Smith's term，the state lost one million jobs!"That's true．However，an honest statement would  have been，"During Govemor Smith's term，the state had a net gain of two million jobs．"
Advertisers（廣告商） will sometimes use half-truths．It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth．An advertisement might say，"Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache．"It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company．
This kind of deception happens too often．Lt's a sad fact of life：Lies are lies，and sometimes the truth can lie as well．
32．How much did the lottery winner lose？A
A．One hundred dollars．

Answer 1

分析 本文講述了真實的謊言，很多表述的內(nèi)容是正確的，但是省略了重要的事實，就成了謊言．

解答 ACAB
32  A  計算題．根據(jù)文章2，3段For example，someone might say，"I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery（彩票）．It was great．I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!"和This guy's a winner，right？Maybe，maybe not．We then discover that he bought $ 200 worth of tickets，and only one was a winner．He's really a big loser!說明他實際上是輸了100美元．故A正確．
33  C  推理題．根據(jù)文章第一段Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive（欺騙）？When someone tells you something that is true，but leaves out important information that should be included，he can give you a false picture．文章說到騙人者故意隱瞞部分不利的事實，那我們可以得出：不能只看表面，要做深入的調(diào)查分析，事實得全了，就辨別出真假了．選C．
34  A  猜詞題．根據(jù)第五段最后3行"During Governor Smith's term，the state 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．'可知實際上Governor Smith贏得了100萬個工作崗位，"net gain"="．"final increase．故A正確．
35  B  細節(jié)題：從最后倒數(shù)第二段第二句It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth．，可知用這個廣告是告訴人們一半的真相是用來誤導人們的，答案是B．
