1.Do you think telling lies,whether a little or a lot,isn't that big of a deal?Well,that depends on the situation.If someone asks,"Does this dress make me look fat?"we might all lie somewhat.We might say,"Of course not.You look great."Lying to spare someone's feelings is one thing.Lying to destroy someone's character or fame is another.
"What's really terrible is that you can't undo a big lie,"says a minister we'll call Morgan."I promise if you go house to house to say,‘I feel terrible I wrongly accused my neighbor of stealing,'the lie will spread like a fire fueled by gasoline.You can't call back a lie very easily."
Morgan goes on to say that lies have hurt people more than guns.
"We have a grandfather in our church whose former son-in-law told people the man treated his own children cruelly,"Morgan says."To this day,we don't know whether it is true or not.I would tend to doubt it,but I can't take a chance,especially if he is working with young people in our church."
Disarming someone who lies is tough.It's like disarming someone who's prepared to fire.That's why our society is full of people who are forced to cover up the lies of other people.
"I worked with a man who was stealing money from our employer,"says a man we'll call Fred."He was so good at lying and doctoring the books (做假賬) that it would have taken an FBI agent to stop him.I worried,‘If I turned him in,and he got out of the trouble,my career at our company would come to an end.'"
Fred says he came up with a plan to drop hints (暗示) to the company owner."I found printed materials on monitoring possibly dishonest employees.I started mailing them to the company owner without leaving my name.Then one day,over lunch,I told my boss he should have the books checked carefully.He got the hint."
Fred told us that when the books were checked,the dishonest co-worker tried to blame him for the errors.However,F(xiàn)red told the company owner he had been dropping hints for some time.The boss got the picture.Fred kept his job.The dishonest guy was fired.
Figuring out how to make a liar public takes work.It can be done,but you might have to move at the pace of a turtle.The slower you move,the more control you will have.You have to give others time to take in the truth.

分析 本篇屬于議論文,文章開頭提出觀點,到底謊言是好還是不好呢?這要視情況而定.然后下面舉例來論證有的謊言是為別人考慮的,這是可以接受的,而有的是為自己的私利,這就不可接受,最后又通過例子來告訴我們?nèi)绾吻‘數(shù)亟衣兑粋謊言.
解答 62 答案 B 推理判斷題 根據(jù)下一句Lying to destroy someone's character or fame is another通過撒謊詆毀別人的名聲是另一回事了.說明spare someone'sfeelings應該與destroysomeone's character or fame相對,應該是avoid hurting someone避免傷害別人,故答案為B
63.答案 A 邏輯推理題 根據(jù)第二段"What's really terrible is that you can't undo a big lie,"糟糕的是我們對于天大的謊言是無能為力的,'the lie willspread like a fire fueled by gasoline.You can't call back a lie very easily."謊言會像著火的燃料汽油一樣蔓延你是不那么容易把一個謊言收回的.由此可知,應該是It's no use crying over spilt milk.覆水難收,故答案為A
64.答案 C 歸納判斷題 文章開頭提出觀點,到底謊言是好還是不好呢?這要視情況而定.然后下面舉例來論證有的謊言是為別人考慮的,這是可以接受的,而有的是為自己的私利,這就不可接受,又通過例子來告訴我們?nèi)绾吻‘數(shù)亟衣兑粋謊言,故答案為C

點評 如何做好推理判斷題?考生做題時一定要從整體上把握語篇內(nèi)容,在語篇的表面意義與隱含意義、已知信息與未知信息間架起橋梁,透過字里行間,去體會作者的弦外之音.
首先,要求考生在閱讀時,要抓住文章的主題和細節(jié),分析文章結構,根據(jù)上下文內(nèi)在聯(lián)系,挖掘文章的深層含義.在進行推理時,考生一定要仔細閱讀短文,千萬不可脫離原文而僅憑個人的看法,主觀臆斷.
其次,對于暗含在文章中的人物的行為動機、事件的因果關系及作者未言明的傾向、意圖、態(tài)度、觀點等要進行合乎邏輯的判斷、推理、分析,進一步增強理解能力,抓住材料實質性的東西.
再次,在解答推理性問題時,應清楚所要解答的問題是針對某個細節(jié)進行推斷,還是針對主題思想、作者的意圖進行推斷.
