Ⅲ  完形填空
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 arithmetic 1 to our class. When the papers were 2 she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the 3 mistakes throughout the test.
There is nothing really new about 4 in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs. O’Neill 5 even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to 6 after class. I was one of the twelve.
Mrs. O’Neill asked 7 questions, and she didn’t 8 us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the 9 words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to 10 these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.
I don’t 11 about the other eleven boys. Speaking for 12 I can say: it was the most important single 13 of my life. Thirty years after being 14 to Macaulay’s words, they 15  seem to me the best yardstick（准绳）, because they give us a 16 to measure ourselves rather than others.
17 of us are asked to make 18 decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called 19 daily to make a great many personal decisions. 20 the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket 21 turned over to the policeman? Should the 22 change received at the store be forgotten or 23 ?  Nobody will know except 24 . But you have to live with yourself, and it is always 25 to live with someone you respect.

Ⅳ  阅读理解
A
 It was a warm April day when a big fat envelope came in the mail from the only college I had ever imagined attending. I tore open the packet. My eyes were fixed on the word “congratulations. ”I don’t remember ever smiling so wide.
 Then I looked at my financial（财政的）package.
 The cost of Dream School’s tuition(学费), room and board was around $40,000-- an impossible sum! How could I afford to attend? What good reasons did I have to go there when three other fine  colleges  were  offering  me free tuition? My other choices were good, solid schools even if they weren’t as famous as my first choice.
 In my mind, attending my dream university would be the only way to realize my dream of becoming a world-class writer. My parents understood how I felt. They told me that even though it would be a financial problem, I could go wherever I would be happiest. But as I was always careful with money, I wasn’t sure what to do.
 One of the schools that offered me a full ride had an informational dinner one night in the spring. Considering my parents’ financial difficulties, I decided to drive the 45 minutes and attend. At first, all I had planned to do was smile politely, eat free food, listen quietly. But I surprised myself.
 At dinner the president of the university talked about the wonderful activities on campus（校园）including guest lectures and social gatherings. He also made it perfectly clear that free food would be offered at all future events. He continued with explanations of professors, class sizes, activities, and sporting events on campus. As he spoke, I began to realize that this school, though not as good as my first choice, might be the best one for me. It seemed small yet with many great programs. It seemed challenging yet caring.
 As the president ended his speech, we clapped politely and pushed back our chairs. As I walked out that door, a feeling of comfort washed over me. Looking at the campus that night, I realized that I would be spending the next four years right there.
 In all honesty, my university is not as well-known as my “dream”university. However, it turned out to be the right choice of schools for me.
1. How did the author feel when he started to read the letter?
A. He was full of joy.                B. He was lost in his dream.
C. He was worried about the money.    D. He was uncertain which school to go to.
2. We can learn from the passage that the parents were _________.
A. honest    B. strict      C. supportive   D. decisive
3. In Paragraph 5, “offered me a full ride” can be replaced by______.
A. would pay for transport to the school        B. would show me around the campus             C. would offer free meals at all events            D. would charge me nothing for tuition
4. What does the author mainly want to say?
A. Your second-choice college may actually by your best fit.
B. You should consider comfort in your choice of schools.
C. You should try your best to attend your dream school.
D. Your choice of schools should be based on their fame.
B
  It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble. That’s more or less what happened the night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.
  “I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway 40, blue lights and sirens（警笛）going, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder. ”
  But Hyde couldn’t go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult. Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.
 Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination （目的地）. At that point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn’t needed. Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the Firebird, who by this time had developed something new to panic about.
 “Just about that time, ”Hyde says, “I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke and oil going everywhere. He’d blown his engine. Now he had to stop. ”
 “After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didn’t have a driver’s license（执照）. ”
 That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty－a thousand dollars for the new engine－not to mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving.
5. The meaning of  “panicked” in Paragraph 2 is related to _____.
A. shame        B. hate          C. anger   D. fear
6. Why did the driver of the Firebird suddenly speed down the highway?
A. Because he was racing with another driver on the road.
B. Because he realized he had to hurry to the accident scene.
C. Because he thought the police officer wanted to stop him.
D. Because he wanted to overtake other cars on the shoulder.
7. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Someone else was taking care of the injured person.
B. The Pontiac reached its destination at the accident scene.
C. Hyde knew where he was going by following the right car.
D. The policeman was running after a speeder on Highway 40.
8. The driver of the Firebird ______.
A. took a wrong turn on the way      B. had some trouble with his car
C. was stopped by the police officer   D. paid for the expenses of the accident
9. What is probably the best title for the article?
A. Losing His Way?   B. Going My Way?  C. Fun All the Way?  D. Help on the Way?
