Question

Mr. Glen is a millionaire. Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he ___36___his small company. Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his extra expensive “school” fee. He always ___37___his success to it.

At that time, Glen, who already got a Ph.D. degree, ___38___to return to the homeland, starting a company. Before leaving, he bought a Rolex watch with the ___39___made through years of work after school and the scholarships. At the airport he had to accept the ___40___customs check. The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be taken down for ___41___. Glen knew that carrying the specific goods out had to pay the tax, and he worried about paying ___42___for his watch. So when he was checked, he told a lie that his watch was a ___43___fake（假貨）. When he was ___44___of his “smarts”, immediately, in the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch, ___45___cost nearly 100,000 into pieces ___46___hearing Glen’s words. Glen was ___47___. Before he understood why, he was taken to the office to be examined ___48___. For many times of entry-exit ___49___he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment. The officers looked over everything carefully in the box, and ___50___him no matter what time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if __51___reusing and carrying fake and shoddy goods, he would be ___52 __according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after boarding the plane for long.

After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees, too.

【解析】

試題分析：文章講述百萬富翁Mr. Glen親身經歷的一件由于不誠實而交了“昂貴學費”的故事，并從中吸取了教訓：誠實正直是成功的秘訣。

1.set up建立;成立;take up拿起;開始從事;go up上升;被興建;pick up恢復，拾起。由下文starting a company可知是Glen歸國成立了一家公司。

2.owe …to… 把……歸功于……。Glen 把自己的成功歸功于那次交了“昂貴學費”的經歷。

3.根據后面的before leaving可知是他決定回國。decide to do sth.決定做某事， refuse及object都是不回國。

4.買表要用錢，這里指放學后打工掙的積蓄和獎學金得來的錢，不一定是英鎊(pound)。5.根據上文 Glen要回國，當然要經過機場例行的海關檢查。routine例行的;日常的，常規的。ordinary普通的;regular有規律的;common常見的。只有B符合。

6.根據上文的check可知是要把手表摘下來檢查的，因此用inspection。test表示試用;look看看;experiment實驗。

7.it指代上句的the tax，而one泛指可數名詞單數;them 及these都是復數形式。

8.選C。既然是假貨，應該是不值錢的，故選C。而priceless表示無價的, 極貴重的;worthless表示不值錢的。

9.根據下文的his “smarts”可知Glen對自己的聰明感到自豪。

10.which引導非限制性定語從句，在這里指的是先行詞the watch。

11.。on hearing his words“一聽到他的話”。“on + 名詞/動名詞”表示“一……就”，是固定用法。at后只跟名詞。

12.根據“海關人員當著他的面把勞力士表砸碎”以及后面“還沒明白怎么回事，就被帶到了一間辦公室”可知Glen很吃驚。

13.根據后文Glen因為這件事而上了黑名單可知，海關對他的檢查應該是嚴格的

14.Glen在國外讀書并獲得學位可知他應該有過很多次的出入境經歷。

15.根據該官員仔細檢查及后面的according to law可知，該官員語氣應該是嚴厲的，故warn最佳。

16.如果他再次被發現使用假冒偽劣商品，將根據法律受到起訴。find out符合warn和according to law的語境。

17.既然攜帶假冒偽劣商品是違法的事情，那么according to law(根據法律)，那一定是被起訴(charged)了。

18.make an impression on sb.給某人留下了印象，是一個固定短語。expression“表達，表示”。

19.額外的高額“學費”使他意識到誠實的價值。 honesty誠實,正直

20.跟首段呼應，誠實正直是他成功的秘訣。
