Passage Three
Be careful of those who use the truth to deceive (欺骗). When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression. For example, someone might say, "I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery (抽彩给奖法). 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 two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He's really a big loser! He didn't say anything that was false, but he omitted important information on purpose. That's called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Dishonest politicians often use this method. 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 the politicians opposing her runs an ad saying, "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."
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It's against the law to make false claims, so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might claim, "Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples (丘疹)." 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. It's a sad fact of life. Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.
What does the writer want to tell us with the example of the lottery winner?
A.People lose a lot of money in buying lottery tickets.
B.Lottery makes its buyers dishonest.
C.He was lucky to win the lottery.
D.He did not tell the whole truth.

We are 【B5】______ deep thoughts and strong emotions, yet our vocabularies are not 【B6】______ for this expression, and many 【B7】______ little effort to expand that. Perhaps you see a movie that 【B8】______ you deeply, yet you have the following conversation: “So, what did you think of the film?” “Oh, my God, it was so sad, I swear. I went through 【B9】______ a box of tissues (面巾纸). I was in tears.” This dialogue is 【B10】______ an effective way of expressing feelings.

However, not only 【B13】______ try to avoid overused words, you must 【B14】______ be careful in your selection. The purpose of expanding vocabulary is not to use the 【B15】______ or most impressive words, but to find those best suited.

There are a thousand questions 【B17】______ to be asked if you have courage and a desire for exchange.

Passage Five
A young girl and a man were recently found murdered in a parked car in a Boston suburb. The police found no clue (线索) in the car. Then they found a witness who had seen a car pass by the murdered couple's car. He said it was a 1950 or 1951 Chevrolet (雪佛莱牌汽车).
Ordinarily, searching through the files for owners of elderly Chevies would have been an impossibly difficult task because there were two and a half million such cars. In this case, however, the police had a powerful tool--the computer.
The Boston Registry of Motor Vehicles programmed its computer to screen all 1950 and 1951 Chevrolets within a fifteen-mile radius (半径) of the suburb--the area in which the police believed the murderer was most likely to be found. Within minutes, the computer uncovered one thousand of the wanted cars. A few hours of careful hand screening turned up a 1950 Chevrolet owner who lived close to the scene of the crime and who had received many traffic tickets (交通罚款). He was among the first suspects to be investigated, and evidence linking him to the murdered couple was found. He was arrested, and is now waiting for trial (审判).
51. The computer DIDN'T help the police ______.
A. to find the suspect
B. to find the murdered couple
C. to arrest the suspect
D. to search a 1950 or 1951 Chevrolet
