Mr. Glen is a millionaire. Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he 41 his small pany. Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his extra expensive “school” fee. He always _42 his success to it.
At that time, Glen, who already got a Ph.D. degree, 43 to return to the homeland, starting a pany. Before leaving, he bought a Rolex watch with the 44 made through years of work after school and the scholarships. At the airport he had to accept the 45 customs check. The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be taken down for 46 . Glen knew that carrying the specific goods out had to pay the tax, and he worried about paying 47 for his watch. So when he was checked, he told a lie that his watch was a 48 fake（假货）. When he was 49 of his “smarts”, immediately, in the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch, 50 cost nearly 100,000, into pieces 51 hearing Glen’s words. Glen was 52 . Before he understood why, he was taken to the office to be examined 53 . For many times of entry-exit 54 he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment. The officers looked over everything carefully in the box, and 55 him no matter what time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if 56 reusing and carrying fake and shoddy goods, he would be 57 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. He said that this made a deep 58 on him, because the additional high “school” fee that he had ever paid made him realize the value of 59 , which he would remember as the 60 of his success forever.

(答案→)A
解析：
【小题1】set up建立；成立;take up拿起；开始从事；go up上升；被兴建；pick up恢复，拾起。由下文starting a pany可知是Glen归国成立了一家公司。
【小题1】owe …to…把……归功于……。Glen 把自己的成功归功于那次交了“昂贵学费”的经历。
【小题1】根据后面的before leaving可知是他决定回国。decide to do sth.决定做某事， refuse及object都是不回国。
【小题1】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）。
【小题1】根据上文 Glen要回国，当然要经过机场例行的海关检查。routine例行的；日常的，常规的。ordinary普通的；regular有规律的；mon常见的。只有B符合。
【小题1】根据上文的check可知是要把手表摘下来检查的，因此用inspection。test表示试用；look看看；experiment实验。
【小题1】it指代上句的the tax，而one泛指可数名词单数；them 及these都是复数形式。
【小题1】既然是假货，应该是不值钱的，故选C。而priceless表示无价的, 极贵重的；worthless表示不值钱的。
【小题1】根据下文的his “smarts”可知Glen对自己的聪明感到自豪。
【小题1】which引导非限制性定语从句，在这里指的是先行词the watch。
【小题1】on hearing his words“一听到他的话”。“on + 名词/动名词”表示“一……就”，是固定用法。at后只跟名词。
【小题1】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。
【小题1】根据后文Glen因为这件事而上了黑名单可知，海关对他的检查应该是严格的
【小题1】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。
【小题1】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warn最佳。
【小题1】如果他再次被发现使用假冒伪劣商品，将根据法律受到起诉。find out符合warn和according to law的语境。
【小题1】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。
【小题1】make an impression on sb.给某人留下了印象，是一个固定短语。expression“表达，表示”。
【小题1】由于撒谎付出了昂贵的代价，因此Glen体会了诚信的价值，从而导致他取得成功。
【小题1】他将永远记住这个成功的秘密。secret秘诀，秘密；lesson教训；choice选择；belief信仰；信念。
