Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you. You say, “I wish I coul

22、d 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 this. Is this really a lie?Professor Jerald Jellison of the University of Southern California has made a sc

23、ientific study of lying. According to him, women are better 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 the story. Other researchers

24、say 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 liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.Research has als

25、o been done into the way peoples behavior changes in a number 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 e

26、lse now.“ They also tend to touch certain parts of the face more often, in particular the nose. One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure. The up of the nose is very sensitive to such changes and the increased pressure makes it itch.Another gesture which gi

27、ves liars away is what the writer Desmond Morris in his book. Man watching 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

28、be understood as an unconscious attempt on the part of the 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 s

29、ituation. It is not one gesture alone that gives the liars away but a whole number of things and in particular the context in which the lie is told.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, a “white lie“ seems to be a lie _.（分数：2.00）A.told in order to take advantage of someoneB.told in order to avoid

30、offending someoneC.that other people dont believeD.that other people believe(2).Research suggests that women _.（分数：2.00）A.often make promises they intend to breakB.lie at parties more often than men doC.are better at telling less serious lies than men areD.generally lie far more than men do(3).Resea

31、rchers find that when a person tells lies _.（分数：2.00）A.he uses his unconscious mindB.he tends to make some small changes in his behaviorC.he looks very seriousD.his blood pressure increases measurably(4).One reason people sometimes rub their noses when they lie is that _.（分数：2.00）A.the nose is sensi

32、tive to physical changes caused by lyingB.they want to cover their mouthsC.they are trying to stop themselves from telling liesD.they wish they were somewhere else(5).Which of the following may best betray a liar?（分数：2.00）A.The touch of file tip of ones nose.B.“The mouth cover“ gesture.C.The circums

33、tances in which his lie is told.D.The changes of ones behavior.八、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)In many businesses, computers have largely replaced paperwork, because they are fast, flexible, and do not make mistakes. As one hanker said, “Unlike humans, computers never have a bad day.“ And they are honest. M

34、any banks advertise that their transactions are “untouched by human hands“ and therefore safe from human temptation. Obviously, computers have no reason to steal money. But they also have no conscience, and the growing number of computer crimes shows they can be used to steal.Computer criminals dont

35、 use guns. And even they arc caught, it is hard to punish them because there are no witnesses and often no evidence. A computer cannot remember who used it: it simply does what it is told. The head teller at a New York City Bank used a computer to steal more than one and a half billion dollars in ju

36、st four years. No one noticed this theft because he moved the money from one account to another. Each time a customer he had robbed questioned the balance in his account, the teller claimed a computer error, then replaced the missing money from someone elses account. This man was caught only because

37、 he was a gambler. When the police broke up an illegal gambling operation, his name was in the records.Some employees use the computers power to get revenge on employers they consider unfair. Recently, a large insurance company fired its computer-tape librarian for reasons that involved her personal

38、 rather than her professional life. She was given thirty days notice. In those thirty days, she erased all the companys computerized records.Most computer criminals have been minor employees. Now police wonder if this is “the tip of the iceberg“. As one official says, “I have the feeling that there

39、is more crime ont there than we are catching. What we are seeing now is all so poorly done. I wonder what the real experts are doingthe ones who really know how a computer works./（分数：10.00）(1).The passage is mainly about _.（分数：2.00）A.computer crimesB.banking via computerC.computer errorsD.computer b

40、usinesses(2).Why are the transactions in many banks claimed to be safe?（分数：2.00）A.Because they are handled by computers.B.Because humans are not allowed to operate computers.C.Because there are no mistakes whatever.D.Because computers do not steal money.(3).The head teller covered up his theft by _.

41、（分数：2.00）A.replacing the money with what he had gained at the gambling houseB.saying sorry to the customerC.putting the money backD.moving the money back front another account(4).Thirty days after the librarian was given the notice, she had to _.（分数：2.00）A.take her revenge on the companyB.leave her

42、jobC.erase all the companys recordsD.admit her mistake(5).What can we infer from the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Minor employers are more likely to commit crimes.B.Crimes committed by computer experts are difficult to detect.C.Computer criminals are usually from the cold regions.D.There are too many criminal

43、s for the police to catch.九、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Cocktail refers to mixed alcoholic drink. There are many versions about its origin, the most authentic of which appears to be one about how in 1776 a bar in New York decorated itself with colorful cocktails to attract customers. One day, a local gent

44、leman came with some friends to have a drink, After a few rounds he got slightly drunk and called a waitress to order a “cocktail“. The resourceful waitress mixed a few drinks in a glass, added some water to weaken the solution so that it wouldnt knock the gentleman out, and stuck a feather to the s

45、ide of the glass when she served it. The gentleman liked it so much that he regularly came for more, and that was how “cocktail“ came into being and got spread around. Cocktail can be served all the year round, usually with ice cubes. There are dozens of different mixtures with different color and t

46、aste. Gin, whisky, vermouth, vodka, mint, wine, champagne etc. are usually used as base, with fruit juice such as orange, lemon, ginger, and then shaken to make a cocktail. Sometimes apiece of fruit like olive, cherry or berry is added for decoration. It is usually served in at a temperature from 10

47、 to 20 degree in a big wine glass. As it is difficult to prepare and does not keep, and different people have different preferences, so real cocktail is rarely served even at cocktail parties.Food served with cocktail include peanuts, cheese, French fries, and fried prawn chips. Sometimes sandwiches

48、, cakes and sausages are also served. They are picked up with toothpicks.（分数：10.00）(1).The drink of cocktail has a history of _.（分数：2.00）A.one centuryB.about several decadesC.half a centuryD.over 200 years(2).The waitress in the New York bar is a girl with _.（分数：2.00）A.a good tasteB.polite mannersC.
