Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something m
28、ore 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 are 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 th
29、is. Is this really a lie? A scientific study of lying shows women are better liars (说谎者) than men, 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 terrible. However, this is only one side of the sto
30、ry. Other researches show that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, 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 the man hopes to profit or gain in som
31、e way.Research has also been done into the way peoples behavior changes in a number of small, unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the same time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying, “I wish I
32、were somewhere else now./（分数：10.00）(1).This passage tells us that telling lies is _.A. often necessary in order to avoid being defeatedB. quite bad because people ought to be honestC. sometimes necessary in order not to hurt others feelingsD. usually bad if you are talking with a good friend（分数：2.00

Sustainable transportation is about combining economic, social and environmental fa
37、ctors into decisions that affect transportation activity. In economic aspect, we need a transportation system that is efficient. In social aspect, our transportation system must be safe and easy to be reached. In addition, we need a transportation system that respects the natural environment. It is
38、not always easy to balance these three factors but there are also win-win-win opportunities.Sustainable transportation is important. Although transportation brings many economic and social benefits, the movement of people and goods can have important influences on the environment. These influences c
39、an in turn have social and economic consequences. Sustainable transportation calls for ensuring that the environment is considered along with economic and social considerations in transportation decision-making.Environmental influences of transportation include air and water pollution, greenhouse ef
40、fects, and the use of land and other natural resources. A range of transportation activities contribute to these pressures, including the construction of roads; the production, operation, and throwing away of vehicles; and the supply of energy and fuel.A major challenge of sustainable transportation
41、 is to control or prevent air pollution and greenhouse effects.（分数：10.00）(1).What is the main idea of the passage?A. It is about sustainable transportation.B. It is about greenhouse effects.C.

43、ould be safe.C. It should be friendly. D. It should be constructive.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).What effects may transportation have on the environment?A. Air and water pollution.B. Greenhouse effects.C. The use of land and other natural resources.D. All of the above.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(5).The authors attitu
44、de towards the sustainable transportation is _.A. positive B. critical C. negative D. doubtful（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.六、Passage There(总题数：1，分数：10.00)I am not sure that I can draw an exact line between wit and humor (perhaps the distinction is so subtle that only those persons can decide who have long white
45、 beards), but even an ignorant person may express an opinion in this matter.I am quite positive that humor is the more comfortable and livable quality. Humorous persons, if their gift is genuine and not a mere shine upon the surface, are always agreeable companions. They have pleasant mouths turned
46、up at the corners, to which the great master of Marionettes (牵线木偶) has fixed the strings and he holds them in his nimblest (灵巧的) fingers to twitch them at the slightest jest (笑话). But the mouth of a merely witty man is hard and sour. Nor is the flash from a witty man always comforting, but a humorou
47、s man radiates a general pleasure.I admire wit, but l have no real liking for it; it has been too often employed against me, whereas humor is always an ally; it never points an impertinent (不礼貌的) finger into my defects. A wits tongue, however, is as sharp as a donkeys stickI may gallop the faster fo
48、r its prodding (刺戳) , but the touch behind is too persuasive for any comfort.Wit is a lean creature with a sharp inquiring nose, whereas humor has a kindly eye and a comfortable girth. Wit has a better voice in a solo, but humor comes into the chorus best.Wit keeps the seasons fashions and is precis
49、e in the phrases and judgments of the day, but humor is concerned with homely eternal things.（分数：10.00）(1).The authors attitude toward wit can most accurately be described as _.A. cautious admiration B. wholehearted amusementC. tolerant disapproval D. aversion（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The author dislikes wit because it _.A
