Tips for raising an honest kid
For kids in preschool or elementary, these tips can help make telling the truth easier as they grow.
Be a role model
Kids learn a lot from what you do, not just from what you say, so it’s important to be a good example. Like if you got a parking ticket 1 you were in the wrong spot, you should say, “I made a mistake and I’ll pay the ticket.” Or if your mother-in-law calls when you’re not ready to talk, it’s better to say that 2 fibbing (撒小谎) and saying you’re not home.
Talk about your feelings
It’s important to talk about feelings, too. If you’re feeling down or 3 , it’s okay to tell your children. Saying “I’m feeling a bit sad today, but I’ll be okay” is better than saying “I’m fine” when you’re not.
Make your children feel good about themselves
Kids who feel good about themselves are less likely to 4 . You can help by spending time with them one-on-one, helping them learn a new skill, or being happy about their accomplishments.
Understand lies
Explain to your kids what white lies are. Little kids don’t understand white lies and they can easily see when someone is not being honest. 5 , if you say “We never lie in this family,” but then ask your 4-year-old child to “Tell Aunt Susie you love the gift”, they might get confused. But by the time kids are 6 or 7, they can understand that sometimes telling a little white lie can help someone feel better. Just help your children learn how to be kind and still tell the truth. Like if they don’t like a gift, they could say, “Thanks for thinking 6 me.”

2.A.rather than B.instead of C.in the case of D.other than
3.A.worried B.up C.excited D.frightened
4.A.mix things up B.pick things up C.make things up D.save things up

She bent down and picked it up. Her eyes widened. It was the lost history test paper—and 2 someone had written all the answers on it! For a moment, her mind 3 . If she memorized them quickly, she could get a perfect score. No one would ever know.
But then she stopped. Was it really worth it? She remembered what she had learned in the welcome talk:“At this school, we 4 honesty and responsibility.” Cheating might help her now, but it wouldn’t help her grow. It would also be unfair to her classmates who had spent nights studying.

There is an English proverb saying “Honesty is the best policy.” It signifies the 1 of honesty.
What are the benefits of honesty? If you are honest to others, they will be honest to you in return. When you are sad, they will comfort you. When you are 2 , they will help you.
Honesty is regarded as the traditional virtue of our Chinese nation. Through the ages, people stress sincerity, and highly praise sincerity. It has already incorporated the blood of our national education.
It is usually better to be honest than dishonest. Sometimes honesty may 3 you in trouble or hurt someone, but on the whole telling the truth is less harmful than lying. Dishonesty can result in guilty feelings, cause distrust among people and even ruin your reputation.
One of the worst things about lying is that it causes a guilty conscience (良知) . 4 no one ever discovers the lie, you will know about it and it will bother you for a long time. Another problem occurs when others know about your lies. 5 , people will not trust you any longer and you will lose your reputation and all your friends. Do you still remember the boy who cried wolf for several times so no one would trust him? At last, all his sheep 6 by the wolf. His dishonesty brought him shame as well as damage.

We all tell small lies called “white lies (谎言)” to avoid hurting others. Imagine someone cooks a meal you dislike, but you say, “It’s 1 !” Or when a friend shows you his new haircut, you say “It’s great!” even if you hate it. These lies seem harmless, but why do we tell them?
One reason is to make others 2 . We might lie about liking a meal or a haircut to protect their feelings. But sometimes, are we 3 being kind? Maybe we just want to avoid their anger or sadness.
Another reason is to encourage people. 4 , your friend sings badly but asks for your opinion. You say, “Wonderful!” But what if they need 5 advice to improve? Maybe they should try a different hobby instead of 6 time.
We also tell white lies to hide bad news. Suppose you have a terrible day but tell your parents, “I’m fine!” Do they truly want you to hide your tears? Sharing your feelings might help them understand and 7 you better.
However, even white lies can bring about 8 . If you pretend to love a terrible meal, they might cook it every time you visit! If your friend finds you lied about their singing, will they ever believe you again? And if you only share good news, how can others truly 9 you? Think about this: How would you feel if people you love always hide the truth from you?
Remember, honesty builds trust. That is to say, telling the truth gently is 10 than making a web of lies.

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了一位无子嗣的富有的老人,为挑选出诚实的侄子继承财产,用煮熟的种子设计考验他们的故事。
1.句意:他决定把自己的钱留给其中一个侄子。
根据文末老人说的“so I’ll give my money to him”可知,老人要留给侄子的是自己的钱财。应选用money,表示“钱、钱财”,与文末内容形成呼应。food表示“食物”,video表示“视频”,house表示“房子”,均与文末提及的继承物品不符。
2.句意:他苦思冥想,制定了一个计划。
根据后文老人给每个侄子寄去种子和信件,要求他们种植并三个月后带来的行为,可知这是老人为考验侄子制定的办法。应选用plan,表示“计划”,符合老人设计考验的语境。deal表示“交易”,dream表示“梦想”,joke表示“玩笑”,均无法体现老人有目的的考验行为。
3.句意:他把种子放进花盆,然后用肥沃的泥土把花盆填满。
根据前文“put his seed into a pot”及种植种子的常识,可知此处是用泥土填充花盆的动作。应选用filled,“fill…with…”为固定搭配,意为“用……填满……”,符合种植的动作逻辑。fixed表示“修理”,mixed表示“混合”,opened表示“打开”,均与“往花盆里放泥土”的种植动作无关。
4.句意:他每天小心翼翼地照料种子,等着它长成一株漂亮的植物。

5.句意:平感到很沮丧。
根据前文平精心照料种子却毫无收获,赴约时一无所获还被堂兄妹嘲笑的情节,可知,平此时的心情是低落的。应选用upset,表示“沮丧的、难过的”,符合平的心境。scared表示“害怕的”,excited表示“兴奋的”,stupid表示“愚蠢的”,和语境不符。
6.句意:在我把种子给你们之前,我把它们煮熟了,所以它们根本长不出来。
根据后文“so they wouldn’t grow”可知,种子被煮熟是在送给侄子们之前的动作,这是种子无法生长的原因。应选用Before,表示“在……之前”,符合动作发生的时间先后逻辑。If表示“如果”,引导条件状语从句,Because表示“因为”,引导原因状语从句,Although表示“虽然”,引导让步状语从句,均与时间先后的逻辑不符。

Tips for raising an honest kid
For kids in preschool or elementary, these tips can help make telling the truth easier as they grow.
Be a role model
Kids learn a lot from what you do, not just from what you say, so it’s important to be a good example. Like if you got a parking ticket 1 you were in the wrong spot, you should say, “I made a mistake and I’ll pay the ticket.” Or if your mother-in-law calls when you’re not ready to talk, it’s better to say that 2 fibbing (撒小谎) and saying you’re not home.
Talk about your feelings
It’s important to talk about feelings, too. If you’re feeling down or 3 , it’s okay to tell your children. Saying “I’m feeling a bit sad today, but I’ll be okay” is better than saying “I’m fine” when you’re not.
Make your children feel good about themselves
Kids who feel good about themselves are less likely to 4 . You can help by spending time with them one-on-one, helping them learn a new skill, or being happy about their accomplishments.
Understand lies
Explain to your kids what white lies are. Little kids don’t understand white lies and they can easily see when someone is not being honest. 5 , if you say “We never lie in this family,” but then ask your 4-year-old child to “Tell Aunt Susie you love the gift”, they might get confused. But by the time kids are 6 or 7, they can understand that sometimes telling a little white lie can help someone feel better. Just help your children learn how to be kind and still tell the truth. Like if they don’t like a gift, they could say, “Thanks for thinking 6 me.”

There is an English proverb saying “Honesty is the best policy.” It signifies the 1 of honesty.
What are the benefits of honesty? If you are honest to others, they will be honest to you in return. When you are sad, they will comfort you. When you are 2 , they will help you.
Honesty is regarded as the traditional virtue of our Chinese nation. Through the ages, people stress sincerity, and highly praise sincerity. It has already incorporated the blood of our national education.
It is usually better to be honest than dishonest. Sometimes honesty may 3 you in trouble or hurt someone, but on the whole telling the truth is less harmful than lying. Dishonesty can result in guilty feelings, cause distrust among people and even ruin your reputation.
One of the worst things about lying is that it causes a guilty conscience (良知) . 4 no one ever discovers the lie, you will know about it and it will bother you for a long time. Another problem occurs when others know about your lies. 5 , people will not trust you any longer and you will lose your reputation and all your friends. Do you still remember the boy who cried wolf for several times so no one would trust him? At last, all his sheep 6 by the wolf. His dishonesty brought him shame as well as damage.
Honesty not only brings us honor and friendship, but also material gains. Honesty is the best policy we can take.

【导语】本文通过谚语“诚实为上策”引出主题,阐述了诚实的重要性、益处以及不诚实带来的后果。
1.句意:它表明了诚实的重要性。
空格前为定冠词the,后为介词of,应填名词形式,应用importance表示“重要性”。important“重要的”是形容词,more important“更重要的”和most important“最重要的”是比较级和最高级,均不符合语法结构。
2.句意:当你需要帮助时,他们会帮助你。
根据上文“当你悲伤时,他们会安慰你”,此处应是当你处于困境需要帮助时,应选用in need表示“在困难时、需要帮助”。in all“总共”、in danger“处于危险中”、in time“及时”均不符合语境。
3.句意:有时诚实可能会让你陷入麻烦或伤害某人,但总的来说,说实话比说谎危害更小。
get sb. in trouble是固定搭配,表示“使某人陷入麻烦”,应选用get。take“带走”、reach“到达”、become“成为”均不能构成此搭配。
4.句意:即使没有人发现这个谎言,你自己也会知道,并且它会困扰你很长时间。
空格引导让步状语从句,表示“即使”,应选用Even if。If“如果”表条件,Although“虽然”表让步,Because“因为”表原因,均不符合逻辑。
5.句意:结果,人们将不再信任你,你会失去声誉和所有的朋友。
上文说别人知道你的谎言,下文是产生的后果,应选用As a result表示“结果”。By the way“顺便说一下”、All in all“总而言之”、At first“起初”均不符合逻辑关系。
6.句意:最后,他所有的羊都被狼吃掉了。
根据故事结局,羊被狼吃掉,且故事发生在过去,应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语“all his sheep”是复数,be动词应用复数,故用were eaten。“is eating”be动词是单数,为现在进行时的主动语态,“was eaten”be动词是单数,为一般过去时的被动语态,“are eating”be动词是复数,为现在进行时的主动语态,均不符合。
阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从各题所给的A、B、C和D 项中选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
We all tell small lies called “white lies (谎言)” to avoid hurting others. Imagine someone cooks a meal you dislike, but you say, “It’s 1 !” Or when a friend shows you his new haircut, you say “It’s great!” even if you hate it. These lies seem harmless, but why do we tell them?
One reason is to make others 2 . We might lie about liking a meal or a haircut to protect their feelings. But sometimes, are we 3 being kind? Maybe we just want to avoid their anger or sadness.
Another reason is to encourage people. 4 , your friend sings badly but asks for your opinion. You say, “Wonderful!” But what if they need 5 advice to improve? Maybe they should try a different hobby instead of 6 time.
We also tell white lies to hide bad news. Suppose you have a terrible day but tell your parents, “I’m fine!” Do they truly want you to hide your tears? Sharing your feelings might help them understand and 7 you better.
However, even white lies can bring about 8 . If you pretend to love a terrible meal, they might cook it every time you visit! If your friend finds you lied about their singing, will they ever believe you again? And if you only share good news, how can others truly 9 you? Think about this: How would you feel if people you love always hide the truth from you?
Remember, honesty builds trust. That is to say, telling the truth gently is 10 than making a web of lies.
