Rumour（ 謠言 ）is the most primitive way of spreading stories— by passing them on from mouth to mouth．but civilized countries in normal times have better sources of news than rumour．They have radio, television, and newspapers．In times of confusion （ 混亂 ）, however ,rumour appears and becomes widespread．At such times the different kinds of news are in competition: the press, television, and radio against the grapevine．
Especially do rumours spread when war requires control on many important matters．The normal news sources no longer give out enough information．Since the people can not learn through legal channels all that they are anxious to learn, they pick up "news" wherever they can and when this happens, rumour grows．
Rumours are often repeated even by those who do not believe the tales．There is an interest about them．The reason is that the cleverly designed rumour gives expression to something deep in the hearts of the victims — the fears, doubts, forbidden hopes, or daydreams which they hesitate to voice directly．Pessimistic （ 悲觀的 ） rumours about defeat and disasters show that the people who repeat them are worried and anxious ．Optimistic rumours about record production or peace soon coming point to self- satisfaction or confidence—and often to over- confidence．
1．The author suggests that, in times of confusion, man often __________．
A．stops regular news services B．turns to primitive ways for support
C．distrusts his fellow man D．loses complete control of himself
2．The underlined word "grapevine" in Paragraph 1 probably means "__________”．
A．rumour B．newspaper C．information D．time
3．The author states that during wartime the regular sources of news provide only __________ ．
A．false information B．optimistic reports
C．limited information D．pessimistic reports
4．Which of the following statements is mentioned as a reason for people to repeat a rumour?
A．They are too willing to believe．
B．They take an interest in rumour．
C．They have a strong desire to make a fool of other people．
D．They find some rumours reflect their own unexpressed beliefs．

Many cities have subways and underground public transportation to take locals and tourists alike rapidly around the city．However, there’s something different about riding a London subway．It may not look different, but the historical value of one of England’s most popular forms of transportation is enough to make riding the subway a must when visiting London．With a little under 300 different stations, the subway can take you almost anywhere you need to go．
Riding a London subway, a person from other countries will notice one major difference: in London, people do not look at each other．In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times．That’s not rudeness ―people are just too busy to bother looking．
Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they’re certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet thinking．Nor are they reading a book．New technology has replaced quiet habits．Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is an e-book．
Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters（使用月票上下班者）．Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40,000―yes, that’s 40,000 “apps” have been designed．
Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillers．One “app”, called iShoot, is a game that features tanks．Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination．iSteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone．You can then write in the “steam” on your phone screen．
For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be the distraction（消遣）of choice．It’s not just teenagers who “plug in” to their music－iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages．
And if games, e-books and music aren’t enough to keep you occupied, then perhaps you would prefer a film? The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV shows or films on the way to work．With all these distractions, it’s amazing that people still remember to get off the train．
56．Those who want to save time to reach where they go can download ______ to their iPhones．
A．iShoot B．Tube Exits C. iSteam D．iPod
57．People in London do not make eye contact on the subway because ______
A.they are going to work and have no time to communicate with each other
B.they love reading books and do not want to be disturbed
C.they feel sleepy because of getting up early
D.they are busy playing games, reading e-books, listening to music or watching films
58．The underlined word “apps” in the fourth paragraph means ______．
A．computers B．programs downloaded for the iPhone
C．computer companies D．fortune from London commuters
59．Which word best describes the writer’s attitude towards commuters’ behaviors?
A．for B．a(chǎn)gainst C．neutral D．hateful
60．The main idea of the passage is that ______．
A．London commuters are unfriendly to strangers
B．Apple has earned a lot of money from selling 40,000 apps
C．technology is changing how London commuters spend their traveling time
D．riding a London subway is a must when visiting London

Be careful of those who use the truth to deceive (cheat). When someone tells you something that is true, but 36 important information that should be included, he can create a false 37 .
For Example, a man once told me, “I just won a hundred dollars on the 38 . It was great. I 39 that ticket back to the store and turned it in 40 one hundred dollars!”
This guy is a winner, right? May be, may be not. Then 41 I discovered that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a 42 . He was 43 a big loser!
He didn’t say anything that was false, 44 he left out important information 45 . That’s called a half—truth. Half—truths are not technically 46 , but they are just as dishonest.
Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this 47 . Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her 48 lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she sought another 49 . One of her opponents put an ad saying, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s 50 . However, an honest statement would have been quite different.
Advertisers will sometimes use half—truths. It’s 51 the law to make false claims, so they 52 to mislead you with the truth. An ad 53 blow its own horn, “Nine out of ten doctors lend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It fails to mention that they only ask ten 54 , and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.
This kind of 55 deception happens too often. It’s a fact of life: lies are lies, but sometimes the truth can lie as well.
36. A. makes out B. leaves out C. tries out D. puts out
37. A. chance B. expression C. impression D. translation
38. A. spot B. lab C. competition D. lottery
39. A. took B. turned C. went D. looked

41. A. later B. formerly C. hardly D. generally
42. A. loser B. winner C. shame D. surprise
43. A. wrongly B. usually C. really D. right
44. A. since B. what’s more C. therefore D. but
45. A. on purpose B. by accident C. in time D. at first sight
46. A. chats B. lies C. failures D. consequences
47. A. fair B. court C. trick D. entry
48. A. company B. fellow C. country D. state
49. A. term B. cooperation C. election D. service
