六、句子还原。(2025·江苏盐城东台第五教育联盟期中改编)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Most of us have learned the virtue(美德) of honesty from some stories. The story of
Pinocchio teaches the importance of telling the truth. Every time Pinocchio lies, his nose will
grow longer. These types of stories show children that "honesty is the best". 1 The fact is
that people lie for many reasons.
One reason people lie is to hide 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 that they will be blamed(责备). For example, students might lie to their teachers
about the unfinished homework. They might say that they left the homework at home. 2
These students do not want to get in trouble, so they make up an excuse.
3 Parents, particularly those with young children, may teach their children to use this
type of "protective" lie in certain circumstances(状况). 4 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, a protective lie can mean greater safety.
5 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 behind the
impulse(冲动) to lie might minimize this habit of lying.
