80、要按照界定好的去做,是否要突破,符合文章意思,可作为最好的题目,故选 A。七选五【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了谎言中所说的事并不一定不是真实的。生活中偶尔的一些谎言是善意的表达,或是委婉的拒绝,都有一定的积极作用。同时作者还介绍了人在说谎的时候的一些小动作。16根据前句“What exactly is a lie?Is it anything we say which we know is untrue?”(谎言到底是什么?是不是我们所知道的说一些不真实的话就是谎言呢?)可知,空前是对“什么是谎言”进行提问,使用提问的方式引出主题,B 选项“Or is it something wors
81、e than whatit really is?”(又或者还是比实际情况更糟糕?)符合前文的提问结构,故选 B。17根据空前“According to him,women are better liars than men,particularly when telling awhite lie.”(据他说,女性比男性更善于撒谎,尤其是在说“善意的谎言”时)可知,根据Professor Jerald Jellison 得出来的结论是女性更善于说谎。根据空后“Other researchers saythat men are more likely to tell serious lies.”(
82、其他研究人员表示,男性更有可能说严重的谎言。)可知,选项与前文内容构成的是转折关系,故与 A 选项“However,this is only one sideof the story.”(然而,这只是故事的一面)起到承上启下的作用。故选 A。18设空处放在段首,应该是本段的段旨。根据空后“It has been found that if they are sittingdown at the time,they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual.”(研究发现,如果他们当时是坐着的,他们会比平时在椅子上动得更多。)可知,讲述的
83、是人在说谎时的一些细微动作的变化,与 G 选项“Research has also studied the way peoples behavior changesin a number of small,apparently unimportant ways when they lie.”(研究还研究了人们撒谎时在一些看似无关紧要的小事上的行为变化。)中的 peoples behavior changes 相呼应。答案第 5页,共 9页故选 G。19根据空前的“One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase
84、 in bloodpressure.”(对此的一种解释可能是说谎会导致血压轻微升高。)可知,人说谎的时候血压会升高,a slight increase in blood pressure 与 G 选项“The tip of the nose is very sensitive tosuch changes and the increased pressure makes it itch.”(鼻尖对这种变化非常敏感,压力的增加使它发痒。)中的 such changes 呼应,such changes 指代的就是前文的血压升高,前句和设空处是因果关系,故选 D。20根据段首的“Another ge
85、sture”可知本段讲述的主要内容是:人在说谎时的一些姿势动作,因此本段是围绕这一主题展开。同时根据空前的“He says there are several typicalforms,such as covering part of the mouth with fingers,touching the upper-lip or putting afinger of the hand at one side of the mouth.”(他说,有几种典型的形式,比如用手指覆盖嘴巴的一部分,触摸上唇或把一只手的一个手指放在嘴巴的一边。)可知,与 F 选项“Sucha gesture can b
86、e understood as an unconscious attempt on the part of the liar to stop himself orherself from lying.”(这样的动作可以被理解为撒谎者无意识地试图阻止自己说谎。)中的such a gesture 呼应,指代的就是上述的 several typical forms 中的任何一个动作形式。故选 F。完形填空【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述 Vince Rozmiarek 在愚人节开的一个玩笑引起强烈反响,所以他决心定期更新,在当地广受欢迎,后来有人把他的笑话分享到了社交媒体上,吸引了超过 8.4
