After intensive research, scientists have concluded that politicians lie.
In a study described in Britain’s Observer newspaper, Glen Newey, a political scientist at Britain’s University of Strathclyde, concluded that lying is an important part of【11】in the modern democracy.
"Politicians need to be more honest about lying," he told the newspaper.
According to Newey, voters expect to be lied to in certain circumstances, and sometimes even【12】it.
"Politics should be regarded as less like an exercise in producing【13】statements and more like a poker game," he said. "And there is an expectation by a poker player that you try to【14】 them as part of the game."
Newey said lying by politicians can occasionally be【15】justified, such as when national security is at【16】, and the public even has a "right to be lied to" in cases where they do not expect’ to be told the whole truth, such as during a war.
But the main cause of lying is increased【17】by the public into areas that the government would rather not discuss candidly. If voters only asked fewer questions, politicians would tell them fewer lies.
Bill Clinton【18】lied about his affair with Monica Lewinsky, while earlier philandering (追逐女人的) U.S. presidents never had to lie about their【19】, because nobody ever asked.
"When【20】or parliamentary colleagues start to probe at that area which the government wants to keep secret, you are more likely to be pushed further and further toward the territory of lying," Newey said.
A. famously B. require C. politics D. miserable
E. intermediate F. journalists G. representing H. affairs
I. mechanism J. truthful K. faithfully L. probing
M. deceive N. risk O. entirely [br] 【19】
选项
答案
H
解析
此处应为名词,而且是复数。根据本句的句意,可以推断空白处的单词应与本句说到Bill Clinton的事件有关,而且此处的lie about their______与前一个分句Bill Clinton lied about his affair结构相同,因此答案是affairs一词。
