At the airport he had to accept the      customs check. The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be  taken down for    . Glen knew that carrying such goods out had to pay the tax, and he worried about paying      for his watch. So while checked, he told a lie that his watch was a      fake（假貨）. When he was      of his “smarts”, immediately, in the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch, which    nearly 100,000, into pieces     hearing Glen’s words. Glen was    . Before he understood why, he was taken to the office to be examined     . For many times of entry-exit     he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment.

【解析】

試題分析：本文講述了一個百萬富翁在年輕時通過一件事深刻地認識到了誠信的重要性，堅守誠信這一原則，他最終獲得了成功。

1.考查動詞短語。go up意為“上升；被興建”；set up意為“建立；成立”；take up意為“拿起；開始從事”；pick up意為“恢復，拾起”。由下文starting a company可知是Glen歸國成立了一家公司，故選B。

2.考查動詞。Owes虧欠，感恩；mentions提到；brings帶來；honors給...以榮譽。owe…to…意為“把……歸功于……”。Glen 把自己的成功歸功于那次交了“昂貴學費”的經(jīng)歷。故選A。

3.考查語境。根據(jù)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都表示“拒絕”，故選C。

4.考查名詞。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)。所以要用savings，意為“儲蓄，存款”，故選D。

5.考查形容詞。根據(jù)上文Glen要回國，當然要經(jīng)過機場例行的海關檢查。所以選routine，意為：例行的；日常的，常規(guī)的。ordinary意為“普通的”；regular意為“有規(guī)律的”；common意為“常見的”。故選C。

6.考查名詞。根據(jù)上文的check可知是要把手表摘下來檢查的，因此用inspection，意為“檢查”。故選A。

7.考查代詞。這里指代的是上文提到的the tax，所以用it。而one泛指可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)；them 及these都是復數(shù)形式。故選A。

8.考查形容詞。既然是假貨(fake)，應該是不值錢的，故選worthless意為“不值錢的”。而干擾項priceless則表示“無價的， 極貴重的”。 useful意為“有用的”； valuable意為“貴重的”。故選D。

9.考查形容詞。根據(jù)下文的his “smarts”可知Glen對自己的聰明感到自豪，因為他以為這樣就可以逃避稅了，所以選proud，意為“自豪的”。故選C。

10.考查動詞。 spent 花費；paid支付；cost值；took那，取。根據(jù)句意表值10萬元。故選C。

11.考查詞組。On hearing his words“一聽到他的話”�！皁n+名詞/動名詞”表示“一……就”，是固定用法。At后只跟名詞。故選B。

12.考查形容詞。Amazed吃驚的；delighted高興的；disappointed 失望的；satisfied感到滿意的。根據(jù)“海關人員當著他的面吧勞力士表砸碎”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。故選A。

13.考查副詞。Strictly嚴格地；quietly安靜地；quickly快速地；curiously好奇地。根據(jù)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地。故選A。

14.考查名詞。Conditions條件；chances機會；experiments實驗；experiences經(jīng)歷。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(jīng)歷。故選D。

15.考查動詞。Stopped停止；warned警告；urged慫恿；hoped希望。根據(jù)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。故選B。

16.考查詞組。 found out找出；came out出現(xiàn)；sent out發(fā)送；set out出發(fā)。如果他再次被發(fā)現(xiàn)使用假冒偽劣商品，將根據(jù)法律受到起訴。Find out 符合warn和according to law的語境。故選A。

17.考查動詞。Hit打擊；charged控告；praised稱贊；blamed譴責。既然攜帶假冒偽劣商品是違法的事情，那么according to law(根據(jù)法律)那一定是被起訴（charged）了。故選B。

18.考查名詞。 Expression表現(xiàn)，表情；idea主意；thought想法；. Impression印象，感想。Make an impression on sb給某人留下了印象，是一個固定短語。故選D。

19. 考查名詞。Lies謊言；honesty誠實；goods商品；bravery勇氣。由于撒謊付出了昂貴的代價，因此Glen體會了誠信的價值，從而導致他取得成功。故選B。:學
