When the package arrived, I found that the seller had included 1 extra pair by mistake. At first, I thought about keeping the extra shoes. After all, it wasn’t my fault, and the seller would never know. However, my mother said that 2 thing to do was to return them. “Honest people always 3 the right thing,” she told me. I emailed the seller immediately. The seller was surprised and grateful. He told me that I could keep the extra pair as a reward for my honesty. Not only 4 I return the shoes, but I also gained the seller’s trust. Since then, I 5 a regular customer of that store. The seller now offers me better prices than other customers 6 he knows I’m trustworthy. 7 honest isn’t always easy, but it always makes you feel good about yourself. I have learned that people appreciate honesty in online shopping 8 in face-to-face business. The seller and I have become good friends online. This experience taught me 9 trust between buyers and sellers is built. I will always remember that honesty is the best policy 10 any situation. 1．A．a B．an C．the 2．A．honest B．more honest C．the most honest 3．A．did B．does C．do 4．A．did B．do C．does 5．A．have become B．became C．become 6．A．before B．because C．while 7．A．Be B．To being C．Being 8．A．as much as B．as well as C．as soon as 9．A．what B．how C．why 10．A．in B．at C．on 【答案】 1．B 2．C 3．C 4．A 5．A 6．B 7．C 8．A 9．B 10．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者在网上购物时卖家多寄了一双鞋，作者在母亲的教导下归还了鞋子，不仅获得了卖家的信任，还与卖家成为了好朋友，作者由此明白了在任何情况下诚实都是最好的策略。 1．句意：当包裹到达时，我发现卖家不小心多寄了一双鞋。 “extra pair”表示“额外的一双”，这里表示泛指，且“extra”是以元音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词“an”。“a”用于辅音音素开头的单词前；“the”是定冠词，表特指，均不符合语境。 2．句意：然而，我妈妈说最诚实的事情就是把它们归还回去。 根据语境可知，这里是在说在所有做法中最诚实的一种，“honest”是多音节词，其最高级形式是“the most honest”。“honest”是原级；“more honest”是比较级，均不符合此处语境。 3．句意：诚实的人总是做正确的事。 根据“always”可知，句子时态是一般现在时，主语“Honest people”是复数，所以谓语动词用原形“do”。“did”是一般过去时；“does”用于主语是第三人称单数时，均不符合时态和主谓一致要求。 4．句意：我不仅归还了鞋子，还获得了卖家的信任。 根据语境可知，该句描述过去发生的动作，并因Not only...but also...引起部分倒装，应使用一般过去时did。“do”是一般现在时；“does”用于主语是第三人称单数时，均不符合一般过去时的要求。 5．句意：从那以后，我成为了那家店的常客。 根据“Since then”可知，句子时态应用现在完成时，其结构为“have/has+过去分词”，主语“I”是第一人称，所以用“have”，“become”的过去分词是“become”。“became”是一般过去时；“become”是动词原形，均不符合现在完成时的要求。 6．句意：卖家现在给我的价格比其他顾客更优惠，因为他知道我值得信赖。 “he knows I’m trustworthy”是“The seller now offers me better prices than other customers”的原因，所以用“because”引导原因状语从句。“before”表示“在……之前”；“while”表示“当……时候；然而”，均不符合语境。 7．句意：诚实并不总是容易的，但它总是让你自我感觉良好。 分析句子结构可知，这里缺少主语，“Be”是动词原形，不能直接作主语；“To being”形式错误；“Being”是动名词，可作主语，符合语境。 8．句意：我了解到，人们在网购中像面对面交易一样欣赏诚实。 “as much as”表示“和……一样多”，这里指在网购和面对面交易中对诚实的欣赏程度一样，“as much as”符合语境。“as well as”表示“也；和……一样好”；“as soon as”表示“一……就……”，均不符合语境。 9．句意：这段经历教会了我买卖双方之间的信任是如何建立的。 “what”表示“什么”；“how”表示“如何”；“why”表示“为什么”，根据语境可知，这里是说信任是如何建立的，“how”符合语境。 10．句意：我将永远记住，在任何情况下诚实都是最好的策略。 “in any situation”是固定搭配，表示“在任何情况下”。“at”通常用于表示具体的时间点或地点；“on”通常用于表示在……上面或关于，均不符合搭配习惯。 B.根据短文内容，从A、B、C三个选项中选出一个语法正确的答案。 Last week, our class had a discussion about honesty. Mr. Chen, our teacher, told us a story about a boy named Tom. One day, Tom 1 a wallet on his way home. Instead of keeping it, he returned it to the owner, an old lady. She was so grateful that she wrote a thank-you letter to his school. Mr. Chen asked us, “What would you do if you 2 a wallet with money?” Some students said they would keep it, but most agreed 3 it to the police. “Honesty is 4 important quality,” Mr. Chen said. “It helps build trust between people.”    During the discussion, Lily shared her experience. She once forgot to do her homework and lied to the teacher. Later, she felt guilty and 5 the truth. “I realized that lying only makes things 6 ” she said.     Mr. Chen also mentioned that honesty is not just about 7 lies. It also means being truthful in actions, like 8 your own mistakes. He encouraged us 9 honest students both at school and in daily life. By the end of the class, we all agreed that honesty is 10 than winning at any cost. 1．A．finds B．found C．has found D．will find 2．A．find B．found C．will find D．are finding 3．A．return B．to return C．returning D．returned 4．A．a B．an C．the D．/ 5．A．tells B．told C．has told D．was told 6．A．bad B．worse C．worst D．the worst 7．A．not telling B．don’t tell C．not to tell D．to not tell 8．A．admit B．to admit C．admitting D．admitted 9．A．be B．to be C．being D．been 10．A．the most important B．more important C．most important D．important 【答案】 1．B 2．B 3．B 4．B 5．B 6．B 7．A 8．C 9．B 10．B 【导语】本文围绕“诚实”这一主题展开讨论。 1．句意：一天，汤姆在回家的路上发现了一个钱包。 根据“One day”可知，该句描述的是过去发生的事情，所以用一般过去时，“find”的过去式是“found”。 2．句意：陈老师问我们：“如果你们发现一个装有钱的钱包，你们会怎么做？” 此句是虚拟语气，在“What would you do if...”结构中，if引导的条件状语从句用一般过去时，表示与现在事实相反的假设，所以用“found”。 3．句意：一些学生说他们会留着它，但大多数学生同意把它交给警察。 “agree to do sth.”是固定搭配，意为“同意做某事”，所以这里用“to return”。 4．句意：陈老师说：“诚实是一种重要的品质。” “quality”是可数名词单数，这里表示“一种重要的品质”，且“important”是以元音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词“an”。 5．句意：后来，她感到内疚，说出了真相。 根据“felt”可知，该句时态为一般过去时，“tell”的过去式是“told”。 6．句意：她说：“我意识到撒谎只会让事情变得更糟。” 根据语境可知，这里是在说撒谎带来的结果，是和之前的情况作比较，用比较级，“bad”的比较级是“worse”。 7．句意：陈老师还提到，诚实不仅仅是关于不撒谎。 “about”是介词，后面接动名词形式，“tell lies”表示“撒谎”，其否定形式是“not telling lies”。 8．句意：它也意味着在行动上诚实，比如承认自己的错误。 “like”是介词，后面接动名词形式，“admit”的动名词形式是“admitting”。 9．句意：他鼓励我们在学校和日常生活中都做诚实的学生。 “encourage sb. to do sth.”是固定搭配，意为“鼓励某人做某事”，所以这里用“to be”。 10．句意：到下课的时候，我们都同意诚实比不择手段地获胜更重要。 根据“than”可知，这里要用比较级，“important”是多音节词，其比较级是“more important”。 C.阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 People often ask for 1 on how to be honest.

One friend suggested they keep it. “No one will know,” he said. The columnist felt a strong 3 to return the watch. He remembered the owner’s name engraved on it. He looked up the address and returned it. The owner was an old fisherman who had lost it for decades. He was so happy that he gave the boy a reward. The boy 4 have kept the money, but then he used it to buy new bait for all his friends. His decision to be honest 5 praised by everyone. This small act of honesty led to a 6 of trust and friendship. The columnist concluded that honesty is not just about avoiding lies. It is an active choice to do what is right, even when no one is watching.

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.

The well-known story of Pinocchio teaches the importance of telling the truth. Every time Pinocchio lies, his nose grows longer and longer. Another story is about the boy who “cried wolf”. In the end, he loses all his sheep and the trust of his fellow villagers because he tells lies many times. These types of stories show children that “honesty is the best policy”. Still, if this is the case, then why do so many people lie? The fact is that people lie for many reasons. One reason people lie is to minimize (减少) a mistake. While it is true that everyone does something wrong from time to time, some people do not have the courage to admit their mistakes because they are afraid they will be blamed (指责). For example, students might lie to their teachers about unfinished homework. They might say that they left the work at home when, in fact, they did not do the work at all. These students do not want to get in trouble or seem irresponsible, so they make up an excuse—a lie— to save face. Another reason for lying has to do with self-protection. Parents, particularly those with young children, may teach their children to use this type of “protective” lie in certain circumstances (状况). What should children do if a stranger calls while the parents are out? Many parents teach their children to explain that their mother and father are too busy to come to the phone at that time. In this situation, protective lying can mean greater safety. People lie for many reasons, both good and bad. Lying to keep the peace or to stay safe can have positive results. However, lying to stay out of trouble can lead to more trouble in the end. Understanding the motives (动机) behind the impulse (冲动) to lie might minimize this habit of lying. 1．What happens to Pinocchio when he tells lies? A．His nose grows longer and longer. B．He turns into a rabbit. C．He breaks his nose. D．He forgets his parents. 2．What does the underlined word “this” refer to in the passage? A．Honesty is the best policy. B．The well-known story of Pinocchio. C．The story of the boy who “cried wolf”. D．Your nose will grow longer and longer if you tell a lie. 3．Why do some children lie to their teachers? A．Because they like making up an excuse. B．Because they have left the homework at home. C．Because they are afraid to be blamed at school. D．Because they have bad personalities. 4．How does the writer explain why people tell lies? A．By asking questions. B．By giving examples. C．By showing the results. D．By drawing a chart. 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．The Types of Lies B．The Habit of Lying C．The Truth behind Lying D．The Result of Lying 【答案】1．A 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文先通过经典美德故事引出“诚实是最好的策略”的观点，随后分析了人们说谎的两类常见动机，最后点明理解说谎背后的动机，能够帮助人们减少说谎的习惯。 1．第一段明确描述皮诺曹撒谎后鼻子会变得越来越长：“Every time Pinocchio lies, his nose grows longer and longer.”，直接得出答案。 2．划线词this前一句明确提到这些故事都向孩子传递了诚实是最好的策略：“honesty is the best policy”，因此this指代前文“诚实是最好的策略”。 3．第二段提到，孩子没完成作业向老师说谎，是因为他们害怕被责备、不想惹麻烦：“students might lie to their teachers about unfinished homework…These students do not want to get in trouble or seem irresponsible”，C项符合原文描述。 4．第二段和第三段作者介绍说谎原因时，分别举了“学生没做作业骗老师”和“家长教孩子应对陌生人时说谎”两个具体例子，是通过举例子解释原因。 5．全文围绕人们撒谎的原因、动机展开，核心是探究撒谎背后的原因，The Truth behind Lying（撒谎背后的真相）最符合主旨。 (C) Class 2 has a test (测验) today. Tom feels awful because he knows he never studies at all and only plays games. He moves close to his deskmate Lily and says quietly, “Can I look at your answers? I will get bad grades if I don’t!” Lily shakes (摇) her head. Tom is her best friend, but she knows cheating (作弊) is bad. She says kindly. “Cheating is not right.” Tom doesn’t listen. He tries to look at Lily’s answers when Mr. Lee turns his back, but Lily doesn’t show him her answers. Just then, Mr. Lee turns around and sees Tom. He walks over and says quietly, “Tom, being honest (诚实的) is more important than good grades. Finish the test on your own. We need to have a talk after class.” Tom’s face turns red, and he starts to work on his test. After class, Mr. Lee tells Tom, “ ▲ But cheating never helps. If you need help, both Lily and I can help you.” Tom says, “Thanks, I won’t cheat again.” Later, Tom says sorry to Lily, “You’re right. Can we study together?” Lily says, “Sure, I will help you prepare for the next test. “ Tom is very happy, “Thanks! Let’s work hard and be honest.” Lily is happy too. Being honest is always right, even when it is not easy. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案, 并将其标号填入题前括号内。 1．Why does the writer tell us “Tom only plays games and never studies”? A．To talk about Tom’s hobby. B．To show that Tom is very smart. C．To make us know it’s bad to play games. D．To tell us the reason for Tom’s cheating. 2．Why does Lily shake her head when Tom talks to her? A．She can’t hear Tom.

C．I know you want better grades, and that’s good. D．Sometimes cheating can help you get good grades. 4．What can we infer (推断) about Tom after class? A．He thinks Mr. Lee is too hard on him. B．He will stop playing games and study hard. C．He feels angry with Lily for not helping him. D．He knows he is wrong and wants to do better. 5．What’s the best title (最佳题目) for the story? A．A Difficult Test B．Honesty Is Always Right C．Tom and Lily’s Game Time D．Mr. Lee’s Class Rules 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．C 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文讲述了Tom在考试中想作弊，好友Lily和老师Mr. Lee均坚持原则拒绝帮助，最终Tom认识到错误、向Lily道歉并决定努力学习、保持诚实的故事，传达了“诚实比成绩更重要”的道理。 1．第1段提到“Tom feels awful because he knows he never studies at all and only plays games… He moves close to his deskmate Lily and says quietly, ‘Can I look at your answers? I will get bad grades if I don’t!’”，说明作者介绍Tom只玩游戏、从不学习的背景，是为了交代他考试作弊的原因。 2．第1段提到“Lily shakes her head… Tom is her best friend, but she knows cheating is bad.”，说明Lily摇头是因为她认为作弊是不对的。 3．第3段后文提到“But cheating never helps.”，说明空白处应是老师认可Tom想要好成绩的想法，再转折说明作弊无用。“I know you want better grades, and that’s good.”符合语境。 4．第3段Tom说“Thanks, I won’t cheat again.”，第4段他向Lily道歉并提议一起学习，说明他知道自己错了，想要做得更好。 5．文章核心主旨是最后一段点明的“Being honest is always right, even when it is not easy.”，整篇故事围绕“诚实”的主题展开，因此最佳标题是“Honesty Is Always Right”。 (D) The next day, the emperor sends his second minister (大臣) to the men. The second minister takes more money to the men. “Tell me about the clothes,” he says. The two men still sit at their loom (织布机). The second minister cannot see any clothes. He cannot see any silk. “What are you doing?” he asks. “We are making magic clothes with magic silk,” the two men say. “Look at the clothes. Aren’t they beautiful? Only clever people can see how beautiful they are!” The second minister cannot see anything. “What can I do?” he thinks. “Only stupid (愚蠢的) people cannot see the clothes. I don’t want the emperor to think I’m stupid.” The second minister goes back to the emperor. He says to the emperor, “The clothes are very beautiful. The two men do good work. They need more money to buy more silk.” The emperor gives the two men more money. Soon, the two men come to the palace. They say to the emperor, “Here are your new magic clothes. Put them on, and you will be able to tell the stupid and clever people in your country.” The emperor cannot see any clothes. The two men say, “Only clever people can see them. They are magic clothes.” The emperor thinks, “I am not stupid.” He lets the two men help him put on the clothes. The next day, the emperor walks through the city in his new clothes. Everyone shouts, “What beautiful clothes!” Then a small boy shouts, “The emperor isn’t wearing any clothes!” Then a man standing nearby says, “The boy is right.” Soon, everyone is shouting, “The emperor isn’t wearing any clothes!” The emperor looks at his body. He knows they are right, but he doesn’t know what to do. Then he chooses to keep on walking. Adapted from The Emperor’s New Clothes 1．What does the second minister take to the two men the next day?

C．Children are always the cleverest people in the world. D．The king should walk in the city without clothes. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．B 【导语】文章是一篇记叙文，讲述了《皇帝的新装》的故事。 1．根据第1段中的“The second minister takes more money to the men.”可知，第二个大臣把更多的钱给了那些人。 2．根据倒数第4段“Then a small boy shouts, ‘The emperor isn’t wearing any clothes!’”可知，一个男孩首先说皇帝没穿衣服。 3．根据第1段中的“The next day, the emperor sends his second minister (大臣) to the men. The second minister takes more money to the men.”可知，“皇帝派他的第二个大臣带着更多的钱去那两个人那儿看衣服”排第一位。根据第8段中的“The second minister goes back to the emperor. He says to the emperor, ‘The clothes are very beautiful. The two men do good work. They need more money to buy more silk.’”可知，“第二个大臣回到皇帝身边，说了关于衣服的谎言”排第2位；根据第10段“Soon, the two men come to the palace. They say to the emperor, ‘Here are your new magic clothes. Put them on, and you will be able to tell the stupid and clever people in your country.’”可知，两人来到皇宫，向皇帝展示“魔法服”，排第3位；根据倒数第4段“Then a small boy shouts, ‘The emperor isn’t wearing any clothes!’”可知，“小男孩皇帝没穿衣服”排第4位。因此，正确顺序是④①③②。 4．全文主要讲的是小男孩说出真话、大人们因虚荣说谎的故事，核心寓意是即使别人撒谎，也要坚持说真话。 试卷第20页，共24页 试卷第1页，共24页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 4 Honesty单元话题阅读套餐练 选材聚焦本单元话题，语篇以不同题型呈现，兼顾多种文本体裁，难度适中。 语法选择 A.根据短文内容，从A、B、C三个选项中选出一个语法正确的答案。 Honesty in Online Shopping Last year, I bought a pair of shoes from an online store.

The well-known story of Pinocchio teaches the importance of telling the truth. Every time Pinocchio lies, his nose grows longer and longer. Another story is about the boy who “cried wolf”. In the end, he loses all his sheep and the trust of his fellow villagers because he tells lies many times. These types of stories show children that “honesty is the best policy”. Still, if this is the case, then why do so many people lie? The fact is that people lie for many reasons. One reason people lie is to minimize (减少) a mistake. While it is true that everyone does something wrong from time to time, some people do not have the courage to admit their mistakes because they are afraid they will be blamed (指责). For example, students might lie to their teachers about unfinished homework. They might say that they left the work at home when, in fact, they did not do the work at all. These students do not want to get in trouble or seem irresponsible, so they make up an excuse—a lie— to save face. Another reason for lying has to do with self-protection. Parents, particularly those with young children, may teach their children to use this type of “protective” lie in certain circumstances (状况). What should children do if a stranger calls while the parents are out? Many parents teach their children to explain that their mother and father are too busy to come to the phone at that time. In this situation, protective lying can mean greater safety. People lie for many reasons, both good and bad. Lying to keep the peace or to stay safe can have positive results. However, lying to stay out of trouble can lead to more trouble in the end. Understanding the motives (动机) behind the impulse (冲动) to lie might minimize this habit of lying. 1．What happens to Pinocchio when he tells lies? A．His nose grows longer and longer. B．He turns into a rabbit. C．He breaks his nose. D．He forgets his parents. 2．What does the underlined word “this” refer to in the passage? A．Honesty is the best policy. B．The well-known story of Pinocchio. C．The story of the boy who “cried wolf”. D．Your nose will grow longer and longer if you tell a lie. 3．Why do some children lie to their teachers? A．Because they like making up an excuse. B．Because they have left the homework at home. C．Because they are afraid to be blamed at school. D．Because they have bad personalities. 4．How does the writer explain why people tell lies? A．By asking questions. B．By giving examples. C．By showing the results. D．By drawing a chart. 5．What’s the best title for the passage? A．The Types of Lies B．The Habit of Lying C．The Truth behind Lying D．The Result of Lying (C) Class 2 has a test (测验) today.
