I know I should have told the headmaster at the time. That was my real 21 .
He had gone out of the study for some 22, leaving me alone. In his absence I looked to see what was on his 23. In the 24 was a small piece of paper on which were written the 25 “English Writing Prize 1949. History Is a Serious of Biographies (人物传记)”.
A(n) 26boy would have avoided looking at the title as soon as he saw the 27. I did not. The subject of the English Writing Prize was kept a 28until the start of the exam so I could not 29reading it.
When the headmaster 30, I was looking out of the window.
I should have told him what had 31then. It would have been so 32 to say: “I’m sorry, but I 33 the title for the English Writing Prize on your desk. You’ll have to 34it.”
The chance passed and I did not take it. I sat for the exam the next day and I won. I didn’t mean to cheat, but it was still 35anyhow.
That was thirty-eight years ago when I was fifteen. I have never told anyone about it before, nor have I tried to explain to myself why not.

答案：
(答案→)B
解析：文章讲述的是作者在十五岁的时候由于偷看了比赛的题目而内心愧疚不已，直到现在还永远忘不掉。
【小题1】上下文，根据后文可知作者认为是他自己的错误，他本可以向校长道歉的。
【小题2】句意理解，校长由于某种原因出去了
【小题3】句意理解，校长不在的时候我想看看他的办公桌上有什么，
【小题4】上下文，因为作者看的是办公桌上的东西，所以此处指的是在办公桌的中间放着一张纸，
【小题5】名词，纸上写着这样的字“English Writing Prize 1949. History Is a Serious of Biographies”
【小题6】句意理解，作者偷看了比赛的题目，他认为一个诚实的孩子一看到纸就应该避免继续看比赛的题目了。
【小题7】同上
【小题8】上下文，比赛的题目是保密的，因此作者偷看了才会有愧疚感
【小题9】上下文，因为比赛的题目是保密的，所以作者才会禁不住，忍不住偷看了题目，can help doing sth意为禁不住干某事
【小题10】上下文，上文讲到了校长因为某种原因出去了，所以此处指的是他回来了
【小题11】句意理解，我本应当告诉他，刚才发生了什么。作者指的是自己偷看比赛题目的事情
【小题12】语境，说一声对不起其实是很容易的事情
【小题13】句意理解，对不起，我看到了比赛的题目，你得换一个题目了。
【小题14】同上
【小题15】句意理解，虽然我不是故意要作弊的，但是那仍然算是作弊。
