填空题Honesty no longer seems to be the best policy with telling of lies becoming a common part of our daily lives. A new research by a psychologist at the University of Massachusetts has revealed that most people lie in everyday conversation when they are trying to appear likable and competent. 1 ______"People tell a considerable number of lies in everyday conversation. It was a very surprising result. We didn"t expect lying to be such a part of daily conversation," said Robert S. Feldman. The study also found that lies told by men and women differ in content, though not in quantity. 2 ______ "Women were more likely to lie to make the person they were talking to feel good, while men lied most often to make themselves look better," Feldman noted. As part of the study, a group of 121 pairs of undergraduate students were recruited to participate. 3 ______Participants were unaware that the session was being videotaped. At the end of the session, the students were then asked to watch the video of themselves and identify any inaccuracies in what they had said during the conversation. They were encouraged to identify all lies, no matter how big or small. Feldman said the students who participated in the study were surprised at their own results. "When they were watching themselves on videotape, people found themselves lying much more than they thought they had," Feldman said. The lies the students told varied considerably. 4 ______Others were more extreme, such as falsely claiming to be the star of a rock band. "It"s so easy to lie," Feldman said. "We teach our children to be honest, but we also tell them it"s polite to pretend they like a birthday gift they" ve been given. 5 ______." A. The results showed that men do not lie more than women or vice versa, but they lie in different ways. B. Kids get a very mixed message regarding the practical aspects of lying, and it has an impact on how they behave as adults. C. Some were relatively minor, such as agreeing with the person that they liked someone when they did not. D. They were told that the purpose of the study was to examine how people interact when they meet someone new. E. Anyway, the knowledge that we are all capable of lying makes it really hard to trust people when they tell you things. F. The study, published in the Journal of Basic and Applied Social Psychology, found that 60 percent of people lied at least once during a 10-minute conversation and told an average of two to three lies.

填空题since the 1950s in 1990 in 1955 over three decades in 1933 V.S. Naipaul, a writer in search of roots and winner of Nobel Prize for literature in 1999, was born in Trinidad (1) , the son of an Indian civil servant. In his childhood, he was first educated in his hometown and then Oxford University, where he studied literature. There he met Pat and they got married (2) . (3) , he has been based in England yet spent much time traveling around the world. Travels (4) have taken him around the world on a quest for home and for roots. Sir V.S. Naipaul, now 69, was knighted (授以爵位) by Queen Elizabeth (5) . A critic wrote the following about him: (He is) the wanderer who tries to go home, but is not taken in and is accepted by another home only so long as he admits he is a lodger there.

填空题The renewable-fuel standard released in February by America's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) paints an ambitious picture of biofuels' future. It wants the amount of the stuff used as transport fuel to climb from 13 billion gallons (49 billion litres) in 2010 to 36 billion gallons in 2022, requiring by far the largest part of that increase to come from various advanced biofuels, rather than ethanol made from corn (maize). But although the future looks exciting, the present is rather grim. (41) The fact that corn-ethanol production has continued to grow, despite the failure of a number of finns in late 2008 and early 2009, points to the efficacy of the various protections and subsidies it enjoys (falling maize prices helped too), though it says nothing about their efficiency or wisdom. Ethanol, which is used mainly as an additive to petrol, is not a particularly good fuel: it offers only about two- thirds as much energy as petrol and can corrode pipelines and car engines. (42) Even as producers have urged the EPA to lift this bar, it has challenged them to move beyond corn and make ethanol from cellulose, the abundant, inedible portion of most crops. Using inedible inputs avoids fights about diverting food crops for fuel, and frees the industry from reliance on a single commodity. Despite ample investment, however, production costs remain high and commercialisation elusive. (43) Still, it and others are gamely pushing ahead. A boost came last month, when Novozymes and Danisco, two Danish firms, unveiled new, cheaper enzymes which are needed to break down cellulose. (44) The alternative is to produce something better, such as an advanced biodiesel. According to Lux Research, based in Boston, venture capitalists invested $208m in algae technologies with this sort of thing in mind during 2008, six times as much as they spent in 2007. But building vast pools for algae and turning them into fuel remains tremendously expensive. Solazyme, a Californian firm, is a promising anomaly, using algae to make fuel from sugars in dark industrial vats rather than pools. Such strategies may work, but have yet to be scaled up. Solazyme, tellingly, has developed other sources of revenue. America's government is doling out grants and loan guarantees, and oil companies are investing, too. Solazyme has a partnership with Chevron. Valero, America's biggest oil refiner, has bought up troubled ethanol plants and invested in firms that use plant material, algae and rubbish to produce fuel. (45) "It still feels like the final bets have not been made ," explains Phil New, the head of BP Biofuels. A. By 2014 or earlier, ethanol production is expected to reach 10% of America's total fuel demand, and thus to hit a "blend wall", since the EPA does not at present allow blends of more than 10% for mainstream use. B. Since 2007 one company, Range Fuels, has received more than $150m in federal grants and guarantees for a large cellulosic-ethanol plant, but has yet to produce any. C. The EPA has been forced to slash its 2010 mandate for the most widely touted of the non-corn biofuels, cellulosic ethanol, from 100m gallons to just 6.5m, less than a thousandth of the 11 billion gallons produced from corn in 2009. D. Algaz technologies had already become the available advanced biofuels which could lower the cost. E. Even if cellulosic ethanol were to get cheaper, though, it would still be ethanol, a poor fuel. F. Advanced biofuel have the government's subsidy and loan guarantees. G. BP's broad-based portfolio includes investments in Brazilian sugarcane ethanol, cellulosic ethanol and a partnership with DuPont to produce biobutanol.
