The watch on his wrist was also needed to be    down for inspection (检查). Glen knew that carrying the specific goods out had to pay the tax (税), and he worried about paying    for his watch. So when he was checked, he told a lie that his watch was a fake (假货). When he was   of his “smarts”, the officers hit the watch, which cost nearly ￥100,000 into pieces at hearing Glen’s words.

试题分析：文章叙述了一个百万富翁在年轻时通过一件事情深刻地认识到了诚信的重要性，坚守诚信这一原则，他最终获得了成功。

1.A考查动词及语境理解。句意：年前，他从国外回到祖国后，成立了自己的一家公司。A. set树立；B. took拿，取；C. went去；D. picked 挑选。set up 意为“建立；成立”；take up 意为“拿起；开 始从事”；go up 意为“上升；被兴建”；pick up 意为“恢复，拾起”。由下文starting a company 可知是Glen 归国成立了一家公司。 故答案为A。

2.D考查动词及语境理解。句意：当时，已经获得了博士学位的格林决定回到家乡，建立一个公司。A. asked询问；B. refused拒绝；C. received接受；D. decided决定。根据后面的Before leaving 可知是他决定回国。decide to do sth.决定做某事，故答案为D。

3.C考查名词及语境理解。句意：他用多年放学后打工挣的积蓄和奖学金买了一个劳力士手表A. books书籍；B. things事情，东西；C. savings存款，救助；D. pounds英镑。买表要用钱，这里指放学后打工挣的积蓄和奖学金得来的钱，不一定是英镑 (pound)。所以要用savings，意为“储蓄，存款”。

4.A考查动词及语境理解。句意：他的手腕上的手表还需要取下来检查。A. taken拿，取；B. put放置；C. looked 看；D. come来。根据上文的check 可知是要把手表摘下来检查的，take down取下，拿下，结合句意可知，答案为A。

5.B考查代词及语境理解。句意：他担心手表要交税。A. one一个人，或物；B. it它；C. them它们；D. these这些。这里指代的是上文提到的the tax，所以用it。而one 泛指可数名词单数；them 及these 都是复数形式。答案为B。

6.B考查形容词及语境理解。句意：当他对自己的聪明感到自豪时。A. afraid害怕的；B. proud自豪的；C. ashamed惭愧的；D. hard困难地，努力地。根据下文的his “smarts”可知Glen 对自己的聪明感到自豪，因为他以为这样就可以逃避税了，所以选proud，意为“自豪的”。答案为B。

7.B考查形容词及语境理解。句意：Glen 很吃惊。A. happy幸福的；B. amazed惊奇地；C. pleased高兴的；D. satisfied满意的。根据“海关人员当着他的面把劳力士表砸碎”以及后面“还没明白怎么回事，就被带到了一间办公室”可知 Glen 很吃惊，因为这是他所没有预料到的。故答案为B。

8.C考查介词及语境理解。句意：他还没有明白是怎么回事，就被带到办公室接受严格检查。A. After在……之后；B. If如果；C. Before在…之前；D. Since自…以来。结合语境可知，答案为C。

9.B考查名词及语境理解。句意：凭借多次出入境的经验，他知道只有在“黑名单”里，才会“享受”这种特殊待遇。A. conditions条件；B. experiences经历；C. experiments试验；D. chances机会。这是他把这次海关检查和以往的出入境的海关检查进行对比，再结合第二段的第一句话所说的 Glen 在国外读书并获得学位，可知他应该有过很多次的出入境经历，所以选experience，意为“经历”。故答案为B。

10.C考查动词及语境理解。句意：警察仔细检查了箱子里的每一件物品，并警告他无论何时出入，他必须接受检查。A. stopped停止；B. hoped希望；C. warned警告；D. punished惩罚。根据该官员仔细检查及后面的according to law 可知，该官员语气应该是严厉的，故选 warn 意为“警告”。答案为C。

11.A考查动词及语境理解。句意：如果他再次被发现使用并携带假冒伪劣商品，将根据法律受到起诉。A. found 发现；B. came来；C. sent 送，寄出；D. set 树立。find out 符合warn 和according to law 的语境。故答案为A。

12.B考查动词及语境理解。句意：如果他再次被发现使用并携带假冒伪劣商品，将根据法律受到起诉。A. hit打击；B. charged起诉；C. praised表扬，称赞；D. blamed责备。既然携带假冒伪劣商品是违法的事情，那么according to law(根据法律)，那一定是被起诉(charged)了。答案为B。

13.B考查名词及语境理解。句意：他说那次经历给他留下了深刻的印象。A. idea主意，想法；B. impression印象，效果；C. thought想法，D. expression表达。make an impression on sb.给某人留下了印象，是一个固定短语。结合句意，故答案为B。

14.A考查名词及语境理解。句意：因为他付出的额外的“学费”使他认识到诚实的价值。A. honesty诚实；B. lies谎言；C. goods商品；D. bravery勇敢。由语境可知，由于撒谎，他付出了高昂的代价：名表被砸坏，还受到了严格的检查和严厉的警告，由此 Glen 体会了诚信的价值，以此为鉴，促使他取得成功。答案为A。

15.考查动词及语境理解。句意：这就是他将永远记住的成功的秘密。A. lesson功课；B. secret秘密；C. choice选择；D. key钥匙。前文告诉我们，正是由于诚实使他获得了成功，由此可知，这就是他将永远记住的成功的秘密。答案为B。
