问题     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【C1】______to our class. When the papers were【C2】______she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the【C3】______mistakes throughout the test.
    There is nothing really new about【C4】______in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs. O’Neill 【C5】______even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to【C6】______after class. I was one of the twelve.
    Mrs. O’Neill asked【C7】______questions, and she didn’t【C8】______us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the【C9】______words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to【C10】______these words into our exercise - books one hundred times.     I don’t【C11】______about the other eleven boys. Speaking for【C12】______I can say: it was the most important single【C13】______of my life. Thirty years after being【C14】______to Macaulay’s words, they【C15】______seem to me the best yardstick(准绳), because they give us a 【C16】______to measure ourselves rather than others.
    【C17】______of us are asked to make【C18】______decisions about nations going to war or armies going to battle. But all of us are called【C19】______daily to make a great many personal decisions. 【C20】______the wallet, found in the street. Be put into a pocket【C21】______turned over to the policeman? Should the【C22】______change received at the store be forgotten or【C23】______? Nobody will know except【C24】______. But you have to live with yourself, and it is always【C25】______to live with someone you respect.
【C14】

选项 A、referred
B、shown
C、brought
D、introduced

答案D

解析 introduce含有“初次接触”的意思,所以答案为D,意为“自我初次见到Macaulay的三十年后……”。
