Neither Lawlis and Clarke nor Story and Kurio BBritains most popular lie has been disclosed, with one in four people admitting using “Sorry I had no signal when returning a missed mobile phone call, a survey found. Researchers found the average Briton tells on average four lies every day or almost 1500 every year. Almost one in six men admitted they were most likely to lie to their wife or girlfriend, on average at least twice a day. The most popular lie was saying you had no mobile phone signal, with one in four people admitting regularly using the little white lie. It usually came after they hit the “ignore button when their mobile rang. Three quarters of people think women are better liars. The research found 46 per cent of girls have been caught lying, compared to 58 of men. The second most common fib（无关紧要的谎言） is “I havent got any cash on me” when asked for money by tramps (流浪者), beggars and Big Issue sellers. “Nothings wrong Im fine” came third followed by “You look lovely” and “Nice to see you”. Modern technology turned out to have contributed to many lies with “I didnt get your text” in 18th, “Our server was down” in 20th and “My battery died” in 26th place. Other lies to make the top ten included “Ill give you a ring”, “Were just good friends” and “Well have to meet up soon”. “Im on my way” and “No, your bum doesnt look big in that” completed the top ten. Men tell the most fibs, coming out with five every day compared to women who lie just three times. In many cases perhaps it is better to flatter with a fib than destroy someone with the truth, according to a spokesman for OnePoll, which carried out the research of 4,300 adults.60. Whether the person being called has pushed the “ignore” button or _, the caller at the other end hears the same tone.A. really has no signalB. cant get the textC. has a battery failure D. answers the call61. Most people think women are better liars because _.A. therere more women liarsB. fewer women liars are found outC. women tell less harmful liesD. women are harder to convince62. “Our server was down” is perhaps a lie told as an excuse for not _.A. inviting a friend to dinnerB. responding to an e-mailC. coming to a party on timeD. cleaning ones room 63. “You look lovely” and “Im on my way” rank _ on the popular-lie list.A. 3rd and 8thB. 5th and 10th C. 4th and 9th D. 5th and 12thCDoomed beauties such as Cleopatra and Marilvn Monroe were far from alone in their misery. Very attractive people tend to form partnerships that are less stable and satisfying than those enjoyed by plain Janes.According to research by Dr John Blaine of the University of Southem Califormia, relationships between people whose professions largely depend on their appearances, such as models or actors, tend to end much faster than those between lawyers, doctors or students. Blaine said the beautiful felt different from childhood. They are treated as special, which may create both arrogance（傲慢）and insecurity. All too often, beauty can be used as an alternative to education. Often they are pushed out of their class or town, told to go off and make their fortune in Hollywood or London and, when the majority fail, they have few talents to make a living. Blaine added that beautiful people score poorly on the “big five” the key factors American experts consider when helping distressed couples. These are neuroticism（神经过敏）, including anger and anxiety; extroversion（性格外向）; openness to new experiences; agreeableness; and conscientiousness, or sticking by agreements they have made. Attractive people often see no reason to try to change until their looks start to fade. Krista Sutherland, of the University of California Los Angeles, said partnerships that appeared to be perfect from the outside, such as the former “dream teams” of Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise or Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley, where backgrounds and aspirations（抱负）are often shared, did not necessarily lead to happiness. 64. What does the underlined sentence “Doomed beauties such as Cleopatra and Marilyn Monroe were far from alone in their misery.” mean? A. Beautiful women always felt lonely. B. Beautiful women always were alone. C. Many beautiful women didnt end up with a happy life. D. Beautiful women always lived a happy life. 65. The underlined phrase “plain Janes” in the passage refer to _. A. ordinary-looking womenB. women called JaneC. common peopleD. attractive women 66. We can infer in the passage that _. A. Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley were a coupleB. Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise were very satisfied with their lifeC. When they fail in Hollywood, the beautiful have little trouble in making a livingD. The marriages of the beautiful often last long DReading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills. With their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudgmental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence, according to Intermountain Therapy Animals （ITA） in Salt Lake City. The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Edueation Assistance Dogs（READ）. The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea. “Literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower self-respect, and regard reading as a headache,” said Lisa Myron, manager of the childrens department. Last November, the two groups started “Dog Day Afternoon” in the childrens department of the main library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. Those who attended three of the four classes received a “pawgraphed” book at the last class. The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April, according to Dana Thumpowsky, public relations manager. 67. What is mainly discussed in the text? A. Childrens reading difficulties. B. Advantages of raising dogs. C. Service in public library. D. A special reading program. 68. Specialists use dogs to listen to children reading because they think _. A. dogs are young childrens best friends B. children can play with dogs while reading C. dogs can provide encouragement for shy children D. children and dogs understand each other69. By saying “The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea”, the writer means the library _. A. uses dogs to attract children B. accepts the idea put forward by ITA C. has opened a childrens department D. has decided to train some dogs70. A “pawgraphed” book is most probably_. A. a book used in Saturday classes B. a book written by the childrenC. a prize for the children D. a gift from parentsE根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。When I walked into the house after school, the first thing I noticed was a box with items I recognized from my dads office. When he told me that he was laid off, I thought he was joking. Then I noticed his seriousness and realized he was telling the truth. My father has always been a hard worker. He has prided himself on his career. 71 I guess I had taken his work for granted. 72 For starters, he was home all the time. It meant my bed had to be made, my room cleaned up, and my homework done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer searching for jobs. 73 He seemed down, though he tried to be optimistic. He asked my brother and me to spend less. I gave up my spending money, which wasnt much. I also found a part-time job. 74 He explained that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business. Day by day, I watched him build it. One evening I asked if he needed help. “Only if it doesnt affect school,” he said. I showed up at his office the next afternoon, and most afternoons after that for two months. 75 The terrible experience for our family taught me how to deal with difficulties. Now I know that through creative problem-solving, I can always find Plan B. I can ask for help and take risks. What I have learned from my dads understanding of business and his work ethic（信条）are two of the most important lessons I will ever learn. And they will be my principles for success. A. Providing for our family has been his joy. B. I made every effort to solve his problems. C. I began to notice how losing his job had affected him. D. My fathers unemployment created many changes in our lives. E. After months of searching, my dad decided to go in a totally different direction. F. His courage and determination helped him to become successful in his new career. G. I always knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action influenced me a lot. 第二卷（共45分）第一节 单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）根据下列句子所给汉语意思，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。76. The idea _(突然想到) to him in a dream.77.
