Question

The measure of a man’s real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out. ---Thomas Macaulay
Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs Nanette O’Neill gave an arithmetic1to our class. When the papers were2she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the same mistakes throughout the test.
There is nothing really new about3in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs O’Neill didn’t even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to4after class. I was one of the twelve.
Mrs O’Neill asked5questions, and she didn’t6us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the7words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to8these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.
I don’t know about the other eleven boys. Speaking for9I can say:it was the most important single10of my life. Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulay’s words, they11seem to me the best yardstick(准绳), because they give us a way to 12ourselves rather than others.
13of us are asked to make14decisions about nations going to war of armies going to battle. But all of us are called15daily to make a great many personal decisions.16the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket or turned over to the policeman? Should the 17change received at the store be forgotten or18? Nobody will know except19. But you have to live with yourself, and it is always20to live with someone you respect.

1.前后照应逻辑推理 从词语搭配的角度考虑，四个选项都可以填入空白处，但只要考生抓住第一自然段结尾的test一词，便能得出A为该题的最佳答案，而其余三个选项均不合题意。再则文章中出现了papers，mistakes，exams等词，作者们也不难排除其它三项而推出答案为test。
2.常识运用逻辑推理词义比较 同学们被检查(examined)，试卷被回答(answered)考试结束(completed)，老师批阅(marked)完试卷后才能发现问题。
3.逻辑推理词义辨析 在考试中作弊根本不算什么新鲜事。cheat作弊，欺骗；lie说谎；guess猜测, 推测；discuss讨论, 论述。
4. 逻辑推理词义比较 Mrs O’Neill只要求这12位男同学课后留下。come来临，到达；leave离开，动身；remain保持，逗留，保持着原来的状态；apologize 道歉, 辩白。
5.前后照应语句连贯 此句与后句是并列关系，后句的否定及句中的either决定了此空必须填no。
6. 逻辑推理常识运用词义比较 学生犯错误，老师要批评的。可Mrs O’Neill本应该却没问任何问题也没有训斥作者们。excuse 原谅, 申辩；reject拒绝，驳回；help 帮助；scold 责骂, 申斥, 斥责。
7.前后照应 文章引用的置于文章上方的(above)麦考莱的名言：衡量一个人真正的为人，要看他在知道永远也不会被人发现的情况下做些什么。
8.逻辑推理词义比较固定搭配 Mrs O’Neill让作者们将麦考莱的这句名言在笔记本上抄写一百遍。其它三词与exercise-books 没有联系。get into进入, 陷入, 穿上；put…into使进入, 把……翻译成, 在……上种植；copy… into把……抄写/复写/复制到……；repeat重做, 复述，通常不与into搭配。
9.前后照应固定搭配 前句提到其他孩子，本句是说自己(myself)。speak for oneself陈述某人的看法，为自己辩护, 发表个人意见, 说自己的事，此处指"就作者自己来看
10.词义比较逻辑推理 就作者自己而言，作者可以说，这件事也许是偶然(chance)的，当然是一个事件(incident)，作者会很久的记住(memory)，它对作者的一生教育作用最大，实为最重要的唯一的一次教训(lesson)。
11.词义比较逻辑推理 三十年过去了，这句话今天仍然(still)是作者行为的准绳。even甚至，表示过分情况；still依然，仍旧，表示原有情况不变地存在/保持的状态；always 总是, 永远, 始终，表示一直不变的状态；almost几乎, 差不多，表示接近的情况。
12.词义比较逻辑推理 麦考莱的名言给了作者衡量自己而不是别人的方法
13.前后照应 国家参战，士兵出征这些不是你作者决定的。也就是说，作者们当中很少有人(few)作出这样的决定。这些都是大人物的事情。注意后句中的But的转折意义，与all of us相对，此空应该选Few。
14.常识运用逻辑推理 国家宣战，军队参战都是大事情。作者们当中很少有人被要求个人作出像参加战争这样大(great)的决定。make great /quick /wise/ personal decisions作出伟大/快速/英明/个人的决定。
15.固定搭配词义辨析 作者们每天被要求得作出许多个人的决定。call upon号召, 拜访，call upon sb to do sth号召/要求某人做某事而call out出动, 唤起, 大声叫唤；call for要求, 提倡, 为...叫喊，虽有"要求"的意思，但不能与不定式构成复合结构；call up召唤, 使想起, 提出, 打电话给。  
16.语法结构前后照应 从接在后面的句子中用should提问，可知此处也用should。
17.词义比较固定搭配 extra change不应得到的、多找的零钱，small /some /necessary /change少许/一些/必要的零钱/找头。
18.词义比较常识运用 商店多找回的零钱是应该不说出去还是应该退还给商店。商店多找回的零钱当然应该还回去(return)，而不应该只是记得(remember)，不应该分享(share)或是再付(pay)出去。
19.逻辑推理前后照应 一旦发生这类事情，除了(you)自己以外，别人不会知道的。此句与文章的开头恰好相互呼应。 
20.逻辑推理词义比较 跟一个你所尊敬的人，即你的自作者，一起生活更好些。better是范畴词，它包括了其它三项(更安逸舒适/更自然正常/更平静安宁)的内容，其它三项仅仅只是better的某一种表现形式而已，如果选它们中的任何一项就都不完整。
