Its founders sought to persuade cities, not central governments, to give refuge to persecuted(受迫害的 ) writers. He was involved right from the beginning, from the mid1990s, to set up this program. Originally, he had a different view of his future as a young man. He thought to bee a bookseller because of his reading obsession when he was 15. A bookseller he did not bee. Instead, in the late 1960s, Ripken was a manager for five years in an aid anization working in Africa. But his love for the written word remained strong. He then worked for three years as a deputy editor for the Africa section at the Voice of Germany. Despite his love for the job, when asked to join an anization promoting African, Asian and Latin American literature, Ripken didn’t hesitate. He had fun traveling to literature conferences and doing workshops with publishers and authors. That’s why he did the job for 20 years. Ripken grew up reading German authors. But his interest broadened to other European and American literature. Then, he found what he called books outside the norm. This helped grow his interest in political developments in other regions. Last year Ripken retired after several years as ICORN39。s chairman. But he is still active in the anization. His goal is to increase the group39。s capacity to protect and promote writers and artists at risk around the world. He said he hopes to be remembered as somebody who has promoted creativity and supported literature as a political tool and source of enjoyment. 32.

Lying often seems like a good way to impress people or avoid blame for mistakes. Some people lie out of habit, without even realizing they39。re doing it. But despite all this, honesty really is worth the effort. One obvious reason for honesty is that lies are difficult to maintain. There39。s always a chance that the person you lied to will find out the truth. 37 . Lies are also difficult to hide because they are harder to remember than the truth. If you make up a story, you have to remember all the details. 38 . But if you mit to telling the truth, you will never have trouble remembering. This saves you effort and makes conversations less stressful for you. Another obvious reason to avoid lying is that lying can harm others. People who believe your lies might make bad decisions because of them. And a lie about someone else could destroy that person39。s reputation. On a personal level, if your friends find out you lied to them, their feeling will be hurt. They will question whether they can trust you or wonder whether you care about them. In contrast, if you always tell the truth, you will develop a reputation for honesty. 39 . Business deals, friendships, family and romantic relationships all depend on trust. 40 . Sometimes it39。s best to remain silent if your words might hurt someone else. Honesty means that when you speak, you tell the truth without holding any information back. When you do that, you will feel more relaxed and enjoy stronger relationships. A. But in daily life, honesty can be difficult. B. This will help you in every area of your life. C. Is the gain from lying really worth the risk? D. Being honest is a basic principle for us to deal with others. E. We will get others39。 respect and appreciation if telling the truth. F. And the more lies you tell, the more stories you have to remember. G. Honesty, however, doesn39。t mean you have to say everything in your mind. 第三部分 英語知識運用（共兩節(jié)，滿分 45 分） 第一節(jié) 完形填空（共 20小題；每小題 ，滿分 30分） 閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的四個選項（ A、 B、 C 和 D）中，選出可以填 入 空白處的最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。 While checking out at the grocery store I noticed a woman behind me.
