The measure of a man’s real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out. —— Thomas Macaulay

About thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs. Nanette O’Neill gave a math　26　?to our class. When the papers were?　 27　, she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the 28 mistakes throughout the test.

39 ??of us are asked to make?? 40 decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called? 41 daily to make a great many personal decisions.?Should?the wallet, 42 in the street, be put into a pocket?or 43 to the policeman?

第一节（共15小题，每题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

A mouse happened to look through a hole in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. “What food might this contain?” The mouse wondered. But he was sad to discover it was a mousetrap (老鼠夹子).

Back to the farmyard, the mouse announced this warning: “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!”

The hen clucked (咯咯地叫) and scratched, raised her head and said, “Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a great concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it.”

Then the mouse turned to the pig. The pig sympathized, but said, “I am very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers.”

Then the mouse turned to the cow and repeated the same words. The cow said, “Moo, Mr. Mouse. I’m sorry for you, but it’s no skin off my nose.”

So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and sadly faced the farmer’s mousetrap alone. That very night a sound was heard throughout the house – the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey (猎物). The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it. It was a poisonous snake whose tail was caught in the trap. The snake bit the farmer’s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital. When she returned home, she still had a fever.

Everyone knows fresh chicken soup is good to treat a fever. So the farmer took his knife to the farmyard. The hen was killed.
