题文
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's 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 politicians often use this trick．Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term，her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs．Then she seeks another term．One of her opponents 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 use half-truths．It's against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead 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 deception happens too often．It’s a sad fact of life：Lies are lies，and sometimes the truth can 1ie as well．

解析
试题分析: 谎言能骗人，但是你相信事实也能骗人吗？在本文中作者介绍了有些人是如何利用部分事实来进行欺骗的，比如广告中说“十个医生中有九个会建议他们的病人服用Yucky Pills来治疗牙痛”，但是他们没提到的事实是：被问到的这十个医生中有九人是Yucky Pills公司的。
小题1:A词义猜测题。文章第三段介绍有些政客会利用部分事实来进行欺骗，根据本段内容可知实际上在Governor Smith任职期间有三百万人获得了工作，有一百万人没找到工作，而“During Governor Smith’s term，the state lost one million jobs!”只强调了失业，是对她不利的言论，由此判断这是她的政敌所说，选A。
小题2:C推理判断题。作者在文章开头用Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive?引出话题，然后给出例子来说明这一情况，由此推断作者目的是提醒人们要注意别人告诉他们的话，答案选C。
小题3:C细节理解题。文章在第二、三、四段分别讲述了买彩票，政客以及广告中利用部分事实来进行欺骗的例子，故答案选C。
小题4:D根据文章第三段her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs．可知在她的任职期间就业的净增长是两百万份工作，所以她的工作是杰出的，其他选项内容错误，答案选D。
小题5:B主旨大意题。作者在文章开头提出话题Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive?，中间列举了三个例子来证明事实也会欺骗人的情况，最后作者通过It’s a sad fact of life：Lies are lies，and sometimes the truth can 1ie as well与开头相呼应，故B选项内容更能表达文章中心，答案选B。
