第三部分 阅读篇

at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it look terrible. 一项关于撒
谎的科学研究表明，女性比男性更擅长撒谎，尤其是在说“善意的谎言”时，比如在派对上，一
个女人告诉另一个女人，她喜欢她的裙子，但她真的认为它看起来很糟糕。
C项是原文中 white lie（善意的谎言）的同义解释。选项中的good intention 意为善意。ABD均为

无中生有，原文中无法得出这些推论。
3. A词义猜测题。
根据第一段第五句的翻译得出，同上一题。
4. A推理判断题。
本题的关键词是 politicians and businessmen 可定位到第一段的最后一句：This is the kind of lie

politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the man hopes
to profit or gain in some way.这是政客和商人被认为特别擅长的一种谎言:他们希望从这种谎言中获
利或以某种方式获利。A.也许能和别人保持更好的关系，与原文关键句意思一致，故选A。BCD

均属于无中生有。
5. B推理判断题。
选项关键词behaviors，lying定位到文章最后一段第一句话：Research has also been done into the
way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, unimportant ways when they lie.研究人员还研究

了人们说谎时行为的一些小的、不重要的变化。可推知：B.人们的行为有时会告诉我们他们在撒
谎。故选B。

长难句分析：
This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from

which the man hopes to profit or gain in some way.
句意：这是政客和商人被认为特别擅长的一种谎言:他们希望从这种谎言中获利或以某种方式
获利。

其中，a lie from which the man hopes to profit or gain in some way是一个定语从句。a lie是先行词，
from which在这里相当于关系副词where。be supposed to do意为“应该做......”

The laptop computer （便携式电脑） is popular all over the world because it is small enough for
us to put on the upper part of our legs. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels.

laptop. Westlake College has started a large computer program for its students. With laptop computers,
the students will be connected not only to the Internet but also to libraries. In addition, they can use email

of the laptop computer program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer
