Part III Reading Comprehension ( 30%)

Directions: There are three reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B ) , C) and D). You should decide on the best choice . Passage One:

What a strange world this would be if everyone told the truth! Even though the whole world claim to dislike lies, it seems that lying is a universal communication style. Most of us get angry at big lies, but how about truth-telling in our private life? Should we always tell the truth to husbands, wives, mothers, fathers and children?

Public opinion polls find that only about one in ten Americans say they never tell a lie. Some studies showed that each student actually told about two lies a day. Half of all adults interviewed in a radio poll last year admitted they had told a lie they regretted, and many said they had been deeply hurt by a lie someone told them.

Researchers asked some people to describe the lies they told over a period of weeks. They nearly all stressed that what they told were white lies, and denied having told serious lies.

We tell more different lies to men than to women. Men and women tell more lies about themselves when talking to men, but more lies about others when talking to women. Men are particularly likely to lie about themselves. Women tell more lie than men, but only because women tell white lies in order to make others feel comfortable.

Surveys show that nearly everyone believes most people are truthful. That's why people are

120

so bad at detecting ties. Psychologists have even tested the lie-detecting ability of police officers, judges, customs inspectors and others whose jobs need to detect lies. In these studies, these people were no better at detecting lies than ordinary people. 51. What is the main idea expressed in the passage?

A. Lying is actually a common phenomenon in social communication. B. People should feel ashamed of telling lies.

C. Lies must be avoided, though nearly impossible. D. People are bad at detecting lies.

52. According to the passage, we can infer that .

A. people tend to claim that they do lie, but not out of ill intentions B. lying shouldn't have become a universal communication style C. college students are No. 1 liars

D. those who are not good at detecting lies should not be police officers, customs inspectors and others whose job needs to detect lies

53. Which of the following is the most likely inference about the result of the public opinion polls

on lying?

A. College students are the most possible victims of lies.

B. Half of the grown-ups asked in the polls never feel guilty of telling lies. C. Quite a few people feel lying, though unavoidable, is not a good behavior~ D. Children are more likely to tell white lies

54. All the following statements are true except . A. we lie differently to different types of people B. lies are far from easy to detect

C. people are more likely to tell men lies about others than about themselves D. men tell fewer lies than women

55. The word \ . A. remind B. remember C. caution D. notice Passage Two:

When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get a good score on a certain kind of test, or even the ability to do well in school. These are at best only indicators of something larger, deeper, and far more important. By intelligence we mean a style of life, a way of behaving in various situations. The true test of intelligence is not how much we know what to do, but how we behave when we don't know what to do.

The intelligent person, young or old, meeting a new situation or problem, opens himself up to it. He tries to take in with mind and senses everything he can about it. He thinks about it, instead of about himself or what it might cause to happen to him. He grapples with it boldly, imaginatively , resourcefully, and if not confidently, at least hopefully: if he fails to master it, he looks without fear or shame at his mistakes and learns what he can from them. This is intelligence. Clearly its roots lie in a certain feeling about fife, and one's self with respect to life. Just as clearly, unintelligence is not what most psychologists seem to suppose, the same thing as intelligence, only less of it. It is an entirely different style of behavior, arising out of entirely different set of attitudes.

Years of watching and comparing bright children with the not-bright, or less bright, have shown that they are very different kinds of people. The bright child is curious about life and reality,
