Passage 2 Not long ago, 20,000 middle- and high-school students were surveyed (调查). 92 percent of the teenagers admitted having lied to their parents in the previous year, and 73 percent of them call themselves as “serial liars”, people continually lying. Despite these admissions, 91 percent of all those people said they were “satisfied with my own character”. Think how often we hear the expressions “I’ll call you” or “I’m sorry, but he stepped out”. And then there are professions, such as lawyers and consultants (顾问), whose members seem to specialize in shaping the truth to suit clients’ (当事人) needs. Little white lies become widespread, and the reasons we give each other for telling lies are familiar. “What’s wrong with that?” How often do we praise people for how well they look, or express our appreciation for gifts, when we don’t really mean it? Surely, these “nice lies” are harmless and well intended, a necessary social lubricant (润滑剂). But, we should remember the words of English novelist Sir Walter Scott, who wrote, “What a tangled (错综复杂的) web we weave (编), when first we practice to deceive.” Even seemingly harmless lies can have unexpected consequences. Psychological obstacles disappear; the ability to make more distinction can become dull; the liar’s awareness of his chances of being caught may become dull. By itself, that kind of lie is of no great consequence. Still, the endless build-up of these lies does matter. Once they’ve become common enough, even the small untruths that are not meant to hurt will encourage a certain doubt and loss of trust. When trust is damaged, the community as a whole suffers; and when it is destroyed, societies collapse. Are all white lies to be avoided at all costs? The most understandable and forgivable lies are an exchange of the principle of trust for the principle of caring, like telling children about Santa Claus, or lying to someone to give him a surprise party. But a president of an institute says, “Still, we must ask ourselves if we are willing to give our friends and associates the authority to lie to us whenever they think it is for our own good.” Which of the following statements is NOT true about the survey?
A、Most of the school students surveyed said they had lied.
B、A larger percent of the students said they had lied constantly.
C、Most of the students didn’t feel sorry about their lying behavior.
D、Those students who had never lied were happy about their character.
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage. In spring, chickens start laying again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winter's end. So it's no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg. Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others elevate the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered "eggs" that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century. One ancient form of egg art comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age; Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too. "There's something about their delicate nature that appeals to me," says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in eggs and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modern characters. "I've broken eggs at every stage of the process—from the very beginning to the very, very end." But there's an appeal in that vulnerability. "There's part of this sickening horror of knowing you're walking on the edge with this, that I kind of like, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second." Chast's designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny rowboat, reflect that delicateness. Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The elaborate patterns were believed to offer protection against evil. "There's an ancient legend that as long as these eggs are made, evil will not prevail in the world," says Joan Brander, a Canadian egg-painter who has been painting eggs for over 60 years, having learned the art from her Ukrainian relatives. The tradition, dating back to 300 B. C., was later incorporated into the Christian church. The old symbols, however, still endure. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children. A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest. 6 Why do people in many cultures prize the egg?
A、A. It is a welcome sign of the coming of spring.
B、B. It is their major source of protein in winter.
C、C. It can easily be made into a work of art.
D、D. It can bring wealth and honor to them.
The coast of the State of Maine is oneof the most irregular in the world. A straight line running from thesouthernmost coastal city to the northernmost coastal city would measure about225 miles. If you followed the coastline between these points, you would travelmore than ten times as far. This irregularity is the result of what is called adrowned coastline.
______(46)At that time, the whole areathat is now Maine was part of a mountain range that towered above the sea. Asthe glacier (冰川) descended, however, itexpended enormous force on those mountains, and they sank into the sea.
As the mountains sank, ocean watercharged over the lowest parts of the remaining land, forming a series oftwisting inlets and lagoons (咸水湖)- The highestparts of the former mountain range, nearest the shore, remained asislands.______(47)Marine fossils found here were 225 feet above sea level,indicating the level of the shoreline prior to the glacier.
The 2,500-mile-long rocky coastline ofMarine keeps watch over nearly two thousand islands. Many of these islands aretiny and uninhabited, but many are home to thriving communities. Mt. DesertIsland is one of the largest, most beautiful of the Maine coast islands.Measuring 16 miles by 12 miles, Mt. Desert was essentially formed as twodistinct islands. ______(48)For years, Mt. Desert island, particularly itsmajor settlement, Bar Harbor, afforded summer home for the wealthy. Recentlythough, Bar Harbor has become a rapidly growing arts community as well. But,the best part of the island is the unspoiled forest land known as AcadiaNational Park. Because the island sits on the boundary line between thetemperate (温带) and sub-Arctic zones,the islands supports the plants and animals of both zones as well as beach,inland, and alpine (高山的) plants.______(49)Theestablishment of Acadia National Park in 1916 means that this natural reservewill be perpetually available to all people, not just the wealthy. Visitors toAcadia may receive nature instruction from the park naturalists as well asenjoy camping, cycling, and boating. Or they may choose to spend time at thearcheological museum, learning about the Stone Age inhabitants of the island.
The best view on Mt. Desert Island isfrom the top of Cadillac Mountain.
______(50)From the summit, you cangaze back toward the mainland or out over the Atlantic Ocean and contemplatethe beauty created by a retreating glacier.

The Mesolithic, or Middle Stone Age, can seem a very remote and "mysterious" time. It started in about 10,000 B.C, as the last Ice Age ended. 62 northem Britainand everything north of this lying under vast ice 63 ,with so much water 64 up in the ice 65 sea levels could be 50m (160ft) _66_ those of today. What we now know as Britain was part of the European landmass in the Mesolithic Age, and was 67 to France and Denmark. And the shallow fishing grounds in the North Sea that are now known as the Dogger Bank were then a huge island.
But as the ice melted and retreated northwards, the seas 68 , just as they are doing today, and the newly shaped lands became covered first in arctic tundra and then in 69 mixed forests. Animals retumed to graze, and with the animals came people.
The people that retumed to these newly 70 lands were not settled farmers, but were hunters and gatherers. It is thought that they must have been 71 on the move in order to survive, searching for wild foods such as nuts and berries, and 72 wild animals for meat and skins. We 73 that since they were so 74 , they lived in temporary structures that were light easily dismantled (拆除) and 75 .
Unfortunately, if this is the case, there are unlikely to be many physical _ 76 for archaeologists to find. So, even though there are a few 77 in Britain and Scandinavia where 78 0f some sort have been found, all 79 can usually be 80 of a site where Mesolithic people lived is a scatter of finely worked and very 81 stone tools.
