问题     The measure of a man’s teal 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 arithmetic【C1】______to our class.When the papem were【C2】______,she discovered that twelve boys had made the same mistakes throughout the test.
   There is really nothing new about【C3】______in the exams.Perhaps that was why Mrs.o’Neill【C4】______even say a word about it.She only asked the twelve boys to【C5】______after class.1 was one of the twelve. Mrs.O,Neill asked【C6】______questions.and she didn’t【C7】______US either.Instead,she wrote on the blackboard the【C8】______words by Thomas Macaulay.She then ordered US to【C9】______these words into our exercise.books one hundred times.
    I don’t【C10】______about the other eleven boys.Speaking’for myself I can say:it was the moat important single【C11】______of my life.Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulay’s words,they【C12】______seem to me the best yard.stick(准绳),because they give US a【C13】______to measure ourselves rather than others.【C14】______of US are asked to make【C15】______decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle.But all of US are called【C16】______daily to make a great many personal decisions.【C17】______the wallet,found in the street,be put into a pocket or turned over to the policeman?Should the【C18】______change received at the store be forgotten or【C19】______?Nobody will know except【C20】______.But you have to live with yourself,and it is always better to live with someone you respect.
【C7】

选项 A、excuse
B、reject
C、help
D、scold

答案D

解析 首先排除B、c两项。表示“原谅”时,excuse常与me连用,excuse me表示“对不起”“请原谅”作为客套语,常用于要走开、询问、插话、表示异议等场合。表示这一意思时,excuse通常不能与句中其他人称代词连用,故排除A。scold符合句意,故选D,句意是:“既没问问题,也没有训斥”。
