They are very much like people who on

24、ce lived in Peru on the west coast of South America. There is a legend that, when their country was attacked and conquered, these people left Peru on rafts and set off across the sea to the west. The legend was that they were taken across the sea by one of their ancestors, Tike, son of the sun.A Nor

25、wegian, Thor Heyerdahl, believed that they may have reached the South Pacific islands. He noticed that they would have been taken in that direction by strong winds and currents, even though they had only simple rafts made of very light wood called balsa-wood. His idea was laughed at but he decided t

26、o prove it. With five other brave men, he built a raft just like the one Tike would have used, and they set out to repeat the great voyage across 4,000 miles of open sea, which they believed Tikes people once made.Heyerdahls raft was made of nine balsa- wood logs tied together with ropes. The longes

27、t log was 45 feet long. No nails were used, for nails would not have been used by Tikis men, and the raft was called“Kon-Tiki”. They took on board such food as fruit and dried food and coconuts, but they expected to live mainly on fish. They took a parrot as a pet. When all was ready, the raft with

28、the six young men aboard was towed out from Callal harbor in Peru, and cast off at the mercy of winds and currents.Their greatest danger was of falling overboard, as they realized too well when their precious parrot was blown overboard in a storm and lost. The light raft was driven along at so great

29、 a speed by the wind and current that it could not possibly be stopped, so whatever went overboard was almost certain to be lost.After three months at sea they saw their first island and smelled smoke from a fire. They had reached the Pacific islands of Tuamotu, just as Heyerdahl had hoped.46Accordi

30、ng to the passage, it is still unknown .Ain what way people came to live on the South Pacific islands.Bhow people live on the South Pacific islandsCwhether the people living on the South Pacific islands are like the people living in PeruDhow many islands there are in the South Pacific Ocean47Heyerda

32、t stop the raftCtwo of the men had fallen into the seaDthere was only one lifebelt on boardBBeware of those who use the truth to cheat. 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 m

33、ight say,“I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery（抽奖）. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”This guys a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. Hes really a big

34、 loser!He didnt say anything that was false, but he deliberately omitted important information. Thats called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this tactic(策略). Lets say that during Governor Smi

35、ths last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an as saying, “During Government Smiths term, the state lost one million jobs!”Thats true. However an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smiths term, t

36、he state had a net(净余的)gain of two million jobs.”Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. Its against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might say, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples(丘疹).”It fails to mention that they onl

37、y asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.This kind of deception happens too often. Its a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.49Which statement is true according to the article?AWhenever people tell the truth, they are really lying.BYou

38、cant trust gamblers(赌博的人)CAll governors help their states.DThe truth can be used in dishonest ways50The author clearly wants people to .Athink carefully about what they read and hearBknow that lies are liesCnever trust anyoneDvote for females candidates51Which of the following would be the best titl

39、e?AYucky Corporation BEveryone LiesCLying With the Truth DNose PimplesC In the 1960s Professor Bolin predicted that the “greenhouse effect”, caused by an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere, would lead to important changes in the Earths climate. At the time his predictio

40、n were regarded as science fiction. But it is now gradually agreed that the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will double from 0.03% to 0.06% in the next 50 years and that temperatures worldwide will rise by 2Celsius. Although a temperature rise of 2may not seem significant, the local effec

41、ts may be much greater: in polar regions a rise of 10by 2025 is expected and in Northern Europe a rise of 4. Indeed the first effects were expected to be felt before the end of the 20th century, But how does the “greenhouse effect”operate and why should such a tiny proportion（比例）of CO2 have such a h

42、armful effect? When living creatures breathe out or when things are burned, CO2 enters the atmosphere. Until recently all of this was absorbed by plants, which converted it back into oxygen. However, the balance of nature has been disturbed. In power stations, in factories and in our cars, we are bu

43、rning more and more fossil fuels( coal, oil and natural gas ) and this produces huge quantities of CO2-18 billion tons of it enter the atmosphere every year. Added to this, the destruction of forests means that less CO2 can be converted into oxygen by plants. So, the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere

44、is increasing every year.52Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?AProfessor Bolins predictions were taken seriously in the first placeBOnly a small portion of the atmosphere consists of carbon dioxideCNo changes in climate will become noticeable for 50 years or moreDThe

45、rise in temperature will probably be 2 degrees in every part of the world.53The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing every year because .ACarbon dioxide is produced when we breatheBCarbon dioxide is produced when we burn thingsCMore forests are destroyed and more fossil fuels are burnedDThe global temperature keeps rising54The “greenhouse effect”refers to Athe problem of th
