Question

 1.  Men lie; women lie. Husbands lie, friends lie, wives lie, and believe it or not, your mother might lie. A recent study showed that 91% of all people lie on a regular basis, and people tell at least 13 major lies a week.

Dr. Robert G. Newby, a professor of sociology, believes that men are more likely to tell lies than women. “Men are more concerned about how they present themselves in public, the impression they make on people and things like that,” he says. “Men are always trying to impress people in the work and want to make sure that their presentation of self is one that makes them look good.   2.    .”

Women, on the other hand, Dr. Newby believes, are more private people and their relationship tends to be more interpersonal, as opposed to having to put on a public face. Women are more vulnerable and they are not as likely to try to pull the wool over someone’s eyes like men.

Psychotherapist Vesta Callender also agrees that men and women do lie differently. “  3.  . They plan better,” Callender notes. “They create a history around the lie, and they try to project into the future what might happen if the lie is detected. With a woman, a lie has a beginning, a middle and an end.” Callender believes that men tend to lie for the moment or to get out of a situation.  4.  .

Dr. Elmore stresses that while it is true that most people lie from time to time, one should be truthful.

“  5.   .Everything that is true does not need to be said, but everything saids needs to be true.” he says.

D. Women are much more careful in their lies.

【解析】

試題分析：本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了一項關于人們撒謊的心理和男女差異的研究報告。

1.根據“Men lie; women lie. Husbands lie, friends lie, wives lie, and believe it or not, your mother might lie.”推斷出前面這句話是“每個人有時候都會撒謊。”故選C。

2.該選項與下一段（即第三段）首句在句義上是相反關系。G

3.該選項與后文第3.4.5.句是概括與具體的關系。根據后面說女人撒謊有開頭，中間和結尾，而男人只為解決暫時的困境，可知女人在她們的謊言中更小心。故選D

4.該選項和本段前文形成對比關系，且與前文存在詞語重復。根據本段前半部分說女人撒謊更細心對比出男人更少關心他的謊言如何不被識破。故本題選E。

5.該選項和本段文意相符，且與前后句共有核心詞匯true.可知本句話是最后總結，說明人們無論何時都要真誠。故選A。
