三．阅读理解（20分）
A
What is exactly a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than
that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you, you say: “I help you but I?m short of money myself. ”In fact, you are not short of money, you know your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don?t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is
this really a lie?
A scientific study of lyin g shows women are better liars than men, 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 terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researches show 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 also been done into the way people?s 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 same
time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying ,I
wish I were somewhere else now.?
31. This passage tells us that ________.
A. telling lies is often necessary in order to avoid being defeated
B. telling lies is often bad because people ought not to be dishonest
C. telling lies is sometimes necessary in order not to hurt someone else?s feelings

32. In Paragraph 2, the sentence “Women are better liars than men do.”probably means
A. Women are better at telling lies than men
B. Women liars are better accepted than men
C. Women have a better intention when telling lies
D. Women tell fewer lies than men do
33. A ,white lie?means ________.
A. a lie that is completely unbelievable
B. a lie that is told with a good will
C. a lie that is always believable
D. a lie that often has an evil purpose
34. Politicians and businessmen are supposed to be skilled at telling the kind of lies _______.
A. from which they may gain some advantages
B. that seems to be believable
C. that women are most likely to believe
D. with which they can have better relationship with others

A. there is a simple way of finding out if someone is lying
B. from some ways people behave we can know they are lying
C. certain emotions are proof of lying
D. in some situations women are most likely to think businessmen are dishonest.

The journey to the moon has been the first step towards future exploration（探险）space. The distance between the moon and the earth is very short indeed when compared the distances between earth and the other planets. Mars, the nearest planet to Earth is millions of miles away! Traveling to the planets
will be man's next aim. Such travels will be more challenging(挑战) than the trip to the moon and certainly more adventurous( 冒险).

that planet has any life on it. So far the signs of life on Mars has neither confirmed（确认）nor ruled out. Russians have discovered that the surface of Venus(金星) is so hot that it is almost certain that there is no life there. Also the atmosphere of Venus is extremely dense(稠) and the pressure is nearly a hundred times greater than that of the earth's atmosphere.
