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 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
5
Mrs. O’Neill didn’t 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 copy these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.
I don’t know about the other eleven boys. Speaking for
10
I can say: it was the most important single
11
of my life. Thirty years after being introduced to Macaulay’s words, they
12
seem to me the best yardstick (准绳) now because they give us a way to
13
ourselves rather than others.
14
of us are asked to make
15
decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called
16
daily to make a great many personal decisions. Should the wallet,
17
in the street, be put into a pocket or
18
to the policeman? Should the
19
change received at the store be forgotten or
20
? Nobody will know except you. But you have to live with yourself, and it is always better to live with someone you respect.

【广东省汕头市金山中学2024届高三上学期期中】
After graduation from college, I started to sell. Soon I discovered that the worried expression I
21
(wear)since childhood meant sure failure. I knew it wasn't going to be easy to change that expression on my face left by so many years of
22
（hard）.It called for a complete change in my view on life. Here is the method I tried.
Each morning during a fifteenminute bath, I determined to cultivate a big, happy smile. I found out, however, that it couldn't be a
23
(force) smile developed just for the purpose of putting dollars in my pocket. It had to be
24
honesttogoodness smile from down deep inside， an outward expression of happiness from within!
Let's see
25
starting off with a good fifteenminute training of the smile muscles helped me during the day.
26
entering an office I would think of many things I had to be thankful for, work up a big smile and then enter. Seldom did it fail

return from the person I met. I also found that it pleased people when I passed them on the street to give them a cheerful smile.

II阅读 (共两节，满分30分)
第一节 阅读理解 (共1小题；每小题2分，满分20分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
In the US and Britain, the slogan around colleges was “Save water. Shower with a friend.” Now, Wuhan University has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse. It charges students for the amount of time in a shower. Before entering the bathhouse, students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card. The clock starts ticking the minute the tape is turned on. It pauses when a button is pressed for soap. An integrated circuit (IC) card reader at each tap shows the time. No money, no water. The benefits of the new system can be seen with the old system, which charged 1 Yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower. The university used about 320 tons of water daily under the old system, but only 160 tons now.
Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided. Some students say it is bad because bathing had become a sort of race. Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower. Some might be embarrassed if their time is up and they’re still covered in soap. They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time.
“It’s a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID card,” said Ren, a freshman in Wuhan University. The university is also considering some students’ suggestions that they be allowed to pay after they’ve finished the shower. Not surprisingly, some are complaining about losing the hour shower. But many students say the move helps them develop a water-saving sense.
Without the time limits, most students tended to shower for 30 to an hour in the bathhouse.
Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes. “In my experience, 10—20 minutes is enough,” said Dai Zhihua, a third-year student who usually takes 8 minutes.
A similar system has been installed in other universities. Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in September. The bathing fee there is 0.2 Yuan per minute. One male student responded by setting a record with a two-minute shower. 31. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Students buy the time of their showers.
B. The clock times the student’s bathing except when the bather pauses for soap.
C. If money runs out, there will be no water.
D. Having finished bathing, the student has to pay for it.
32. The underline word “flaw” (Paragraph 3) most probably means __________.
A. fault
B. advantage
C. pity
D. perfection
33. Since the new system has performed, __________ of water can be saved.
A. a quarter
B. one third
C. one half
D．two thirds
34. It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
A. the new operation can raise students’ environmental awareness
