问题     The measure of a man’s character is what he would do it 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’Neil gave an arithmetic【C1】______to our class. When the papers 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. I was one of the twelve. Mrs. O’Neill asked【C6】______questions, and she didn’t【C7】______us either. Macaulay, 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 most 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 yourseff, and it is always better to live with someone you respect.
【C16】

选项 A、out
B、for
C、up
D、upon

答案D

解析 call on sb.to do sth.表示“要求某人做某事”。call sb.out意为“把某人叫出去”,call sb.up意为“给某人打电话”,两者虽然能接不定式,但不符合语境。call for sb.虽也有“要求某人”之意,但不能接不定式。
