【分析】本文属于记叙文阅读，这是一篇关于"读书谎言"的文章，由作者发现
一个朋友撒谎说读过奥巴马的《我父亲的梦想》引入话题．进而用数据说明了
撒谎人数之多，有2/3的人曾撒谎说读过某本书，而撒谎的主要原因是他们想要
给别人留下好印象．并列举了当今人们最喜欢的作家．
【解答】DBDC
64．D 细节理解题．根据第一段"However, he then went on to talk about Mr.
Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at
all."可知作者发现朋友撒谎，是因为朋友对此书的深入讨论暴露了他对奥巴马
背景的无知，故选D．
65．B 推理判断题．根据第二段"But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of
people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s really
brilliant."，并结合上文"The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people
have lied about
reading"可知作者不像42%的人一样假装读过乔治•奥威尔（英国小说家）的《19
84》，因此可推测出有42%的人撒谎说读过《1984》，故选B．
66．D 细节理解题．根据第四段"Asked why they lied, the most common reason
was to ‘impress’ someone they were speaking
to."可知，大多说人撒谎是想要给别人留下好印象，从而结交更多朋友，故选D
．

【答案】C

【解析】作者态度题．根据第五段"I’ll come clean：I do this and am astonished that
58 percent said they had never done

so"可知作者对这些人说从未这样做过表示很惊讶，因此可推知作者对这58%的
人表示怀疑，故选C．
【点评】考查学生的细节理解和推理判断能力．做细节理解题时一定要找到文
章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确选择．在做推理判断题时不要以个
人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．
