解析

试题分析：这是一篇讲述“诚实”的文章。文中小女孩参加了单词拼写比赛，在比赛中，她勇于承认自己犯的拼写错误，虽然她没有赢得比赛，但她的诚实征服了所有的人。
小题1:F 根据下一句小女孩知道自己拼错了，说明裁判们也搞不清楚，而让小女孩说一下刚才她所说的内容。F符合上下文。
小题2:B 上文讲述小女孩告诉裁判她拼错了，那么她会输了比赛。B符合上下文。
小题3】G 上句说她输掉了这次比赛，但是她赢得了人们的尊敬。赢得了人生中最大的竞赛——人格的竞赛。故G符合要求。
小题4:D 根据前两句提及她本可以说谎的，但是她没有，正如：如果你欺骗了他人，你会让你自己更便宜。故D符合要求。
小题5:E 根据上文的the choice she made at the moment.说明今天所作出的选择会影响未来的自己。
