阅读理解

    Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture.

    For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”

    This guy is a winner, right? Maybe,maybe not. We then discover that he bought $ 200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. He's really a big loser!

    He didn't say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. That's called a half-truth. Half truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.

    Some officers often use this trick. Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term, her state lost one millionjobs and gained three million jobs. Then she tries another term. One of the persons who don't support her says, “During Governor Smith's term, the state lost one million jobs!” That's true. However, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith's term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.

    Advertisers will sometimes usehalf—truths. It's against the law to make false statements so they try tomislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache. ”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.

    This kind of thing happens too often. It's a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie aswell.

(1)、We may infer that the author believes people should ________.

A、buy lottery tickets if possible B、make use of half—truths C、be careful about what they are told D、not trust the Yucky Company
(2)、How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive?

A、One B、Two C、Three D、Four
(3)、Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A、Using half truths is against the law. B、Technically, half truths are in fact lies. C、Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache. D、Governor Smith did a good job during her last term.
(4)、Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?

A、He's really a big loser! B、Sometimes the truth can lie. C、Advertisers will sometimes use half truths. D、It's against the law to make false statements.

①What did people do to communicate in ancient times? Here are some very interesting answer s to this question.

②Alphorns(阿尔卑斯长号角) were once used to communicate in the mountains in Switzerland. They are very long and they are very heavy, too. So, alpharns are hard work to blow. Then why use them? Well,they make a loud sound which travels much further than the human voice. Herdsmen(牧民) used them to call cows in the distance for milking. At sunset, alpharns were also used to send a message down to villagers that all was well. These days, they're mostly used as musical instruments.

③The people ofLa Gomera, an island in Europe, have their own special way of sending messages from mountain to mountain. They use a whistled(口哨的) language called el silbo, which comes from their language . Spanish. Whistling can be heard within five kilometers, which means it can be used across much greater distances than shouting. El silbo can be used for all kinds of messages, including greetings and announcements. El si lbo is used a lot less than it used to be, but primary school students in La Gomera have to leave it.

④Did you know it's also possible to send messages without making a noise? This is called visual communication, and it includes the use of flags and even smoke. Long ago, soldiers along the Great Wall of China used smoke as a warning. If they noticed the enemy from their signal(信号) tower, they li t a smoky fire. When soldiers in other towers saw the smoke signal, they lit fires too. In this way, messages about the enemy's arrival could travel as far as 800 km in just a few hours.

Many of us like to watch and post short videos. But can we share whatever we like, even with the wrong information?

A blogger(博主) said sorry for one video she posted on Feb 16. In the video, she said that she had found a student's holiday workbook and said the student's name was Qin Lang. Many internet users checked the student's name, grade, and school. They found out the video might not be real. In a new video, the blogger claimed (声称) that she had given the wrong information to protect the student's privacy(隐私).

Some people might think it's not a big deal if you make a video with the wrong information. They believe that saying sorry will fix everything. But it's not that simple. According to the Law on Penalties for Administration of Public Security(《治安管理处罚法》), if the videos don't care about the truth and disturb(扰乱) public order, their makers will get punished (惩罚).

It's important to be creative when people make short videos. However, it is not OK to make up stories and break the law.

As early as 2000, the State Council issued the Administrative Measures on Internet Information Services(《互联网信息服务管理办法》). It bans(禁止) spreading rumors and disturbing the social order. If you break the law, you could get in trouble. For example, you might get your social media account(账户) stopped, have to pay fines, get detailed(拘留) or even go to jail(监狱).

Eleven online celebrities in Liangshan Yi autonomous prefecture in Sichuan were arrested (逮捕) in 2023 for selling fake products in videos. They got sentences from 8 months to 3 years and 2 months in jail.

 阅读下列语言材料,从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Do you get angry when your friends sing loudly or when your best friend does not wait for you after school?If you do,you need to control (控制) your feelings and stop getting angry so easily. Getting angry easily can make you lose friends.

Gary Egeberg,an American high school teacher,wrote My Feelings Are Just Like Wild Animals to help you control your feelings. It tells boys and girls how to stay cool when bad things happen to them. The book says getting angry is not a natural way to act.  It is just a bad habit,like smoking. The book says you can control your anger easily,and all you have to do is to tell yourself not to be angry.

When a baby falls over,it cries only when people are watching it. Like a baby,you can only get angry if you are sure it is the right thing to do.

The book gives much advice to help you if you get angry easily. Here are the top three.

①Keep a record (记录). Every time you get angry,write down why you are angry. Look at it later and you will see you get angry too easily.

②Ask your friends to stop talking to you when you get angry. This will help you calm down soon.

③Do something different. When you get angry,walk away from the problem. Try to laugh!

 Reading Comprehension

Qi Haoran, a Junior One student at High School Attached to Harbin Institute of Technology, was quite busy last winter vacation - and not just with his homework.Qi, together with 10 other classmates, made a volunteer group to call on people to join the Clear Your Plate Campaign.

The 11 students went to many restaurants and told people the importance of saving food. " Excuse me, do you know that 950 million people around the world still haven't got enough to cat? Please don't waste food." They would repeat such words hundreds of times every day.

China in recent years has experienced serious problems with wasting food.CCTV has reported    that the food Chinese people waste every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.Chinese people are well known for being hospitable (好客的) and generous.Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food, because it seems that they haven't prepared enough food for their guests.

Luckily, the campaign has got the support of many.In a restaurant in Xinjiang, the owner gives a sticker to the customers who have eaten all that they ordered.People can enjoy a free meal when they have 10 stickers. Besides, more than 750 restaurants in Beijing have begun to offer smaller dishes and encourage their customers to take leftovers home.

To reduce food waste is a big task, and it needs time.It's important that everyone should do their bit just like Qi. So did you finish your meals today?
