【题目】语法填空

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

As an old English saying【1】 (go), “Honesty is the best policy.” It is not an old cliché（陈词滥调）, but a good way to live your life.

Firstly, being honesty is the 【2】 (easy) choice that we can make. When people get caught in lies, it always costs them something. Many relationships are destroyed by lies.

Secondly, honesty gives us much 【3】 (free). Many people believe that being honest limits them in life, but that is not true. Sooner or later those dishonest people 【4】 (pay) a price for their acts; on the contrary, when we are honest, we are 【5】 (true) free.

If there were two people 【6】 (stand) before you, a person with a record of being honest and a person who is known to be 【7】(honest), who would you be more likely 【8】 (believe)? I’m sure most people would side with the honest person. 【9】 we live in the truth or we live in lies. Truth sets us free and lies leave us nothing but more troubles. Honesty is a choice that we make each day. The choice is 【10】 (you). What will you choose?

【解析】

试题分析：通过阅读，完成词汇在特定语境下的正确运用。词语形式的变化要考虑它们在句子中所做的成分和固定搭配等。

【1】goes 本句和其他的句子的时态一致。后面的句子是一般现在时，所以这里也应该用一般现在时，主语是an old English saying，是第三人称单数，故谓语动词用goes。

【2】easiest 句意：诚实是我们做的最容易的选择。用最高级形式easiest。

【3】freedom 句意：诚实给了我们很多的自由。用名词作宾语，故填freedom。

【4】will pay 句意：那些不诚实的人迟早会为他们的行为付出代价。用将来时，故填will pay。

【5】truly 句意：当我们诚实时，我们才是真自由。用副词truly修饰形容词free。

【6】standing 句意：当有两个人站在你的面前时。这里用动词的-ing形式作定语。

【7】dishonest 句意：当一个诚实的人和一个不诚实的人站在你面前时。honest的反义词是dishonest。

【8】to believe 句意：你会相信谁？be likely to do 有可能做某事。

【9】Either 句意：我们要么生活在真实中要么生活在谎言中。固定句型：Either…or ：要么……要么……。。

【10】yours 句意：这个选择是你的。用名词性物主代词yours作表语。
