When I was a law professor, a student reported that I made an error in grading his exam by giving him too many points. He was 36 , and after thanking him for his honesty, I changed the grade in my 37 . His beaming (欢笑的) face turned to shock. “You’re 38 my grade?” he said angrily. “I would never have come in 39 ……” He didn’t finish the 40 , but it was obvious that his display of honesty was 41 . He thought he’d have it all—praise and the higher grade. Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade 42 because all I’d accomplished was to discourage him from being 43 in the future. And every time I tell this story some people agree with this 44 . But I can’t see how I could give good reason for worsening my 45 in grading by undermining (损害) the honesty of all my grades by failing to 46 an error. The grade itself would be a dishonest 47 of his knowledge and it would have been 48 to other students. How could I 49 give a student a gift of an unearned grade? I know 50 reporting an error in one’s favor is unusual, but, like 51 too much change, it’s clearly the right thing to do. People of character, those with real honesty, hate to give up 52_ as much as anyone else. The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is _53 enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing. Perhaps lowering the student’s grade did 54 him from being honest in the future, but bribing (贿赂) him to be honest so that he does the right thing when it’s cost-free would have _55 him even more. The duty to be honest is about right and wrong, not risks and rewards.

小题1:B 通过上文说“I made an error in grading”和下文”I changed the grade”可知这个学生说对了。所以选择 right
小题1:C 学生说批改错误，故“我”在记录本上改正分数
小题1:A 通过下文“He thought he’d have it all—praise and the higher grade.”可知学生本以为老师会帮他加分，还有后句“His beaming (欢笑的) face turned to shock”可知老师不但没有加分而且还减了分。故选择 lower
小题1:D 该句为省略句，意为“如果知道是减分的话我就不回来了”
小题1:A 从上文可知，学生没有把话说完。
小题1:B 从下文He thought he’d have it all—praise and the higher grade.可知，学生的诚实都是虚假伪装的，只不过希望老师多给点分数。
小题1:C 当我与同事说起时，同事希望维持较高的分数不变，此处stand表保持有效的意思
小题1:D 根据意思，同事希望“我”维持高分，这样才能使学生以后能诚实

小题1:B意为“我找不出理由来加剧我在评分上的错误”
小题1:C因为学生指出我未能批改出他作业中的错误，所以这里用“fail to correct”表未能改正
小题1:D 作者认为如果给那名学生高分，就是对他所掌握的知识的不诚实的体现，所以选择 reflection
小题1:A 给了这个学生高分，就是对其他学生的不公平
小题1:B 我的内心无法做到这一点，因此我无法负责任地给学生这么一个不是自己辛苦学习所得到的分数
小题1:C 学生自愿来说明批改上的错误，所以选 voluntarily
小题1:D 改正错误，回归改变，所以选return
小题1:A 根据下句，The difference is that for。。。可知上文指真正诚实的人也和大多数人一样，也就是说不愿意放弃好处
小题1:B 只不过对他们来说，他们需要的奖励种公德心和名声
小题1:C 根据第三段I’d accomplished was to discourage him from being可知此题为原词重现，故选择 discourage
小题1:D 如果给他好处让他诚实会毁了他。
