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___.

【解析】

试题分析：文章讲述百万富翁Mr. Glen亲身经历的一件由于不诚实而交了“昂贵学费”的故事，并从中吸取了教训：诚实正直是成功的秘诀。

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 company可知是Glen归国成立了一家公司。

2.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。

3.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。

4.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)。5.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;common常见的。只有B符合。

6.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。

7.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。

8.选C。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。

9.根据下文的his “smarts”可知Glen对自己的聪明感到自豪。

10.which引导非限制性定语从句，在这里指的是先行词the watch。

11.。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。

12.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。

13.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

14.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。

15.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。

16.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。

17.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。

18.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”。

19.额外的高额“学费”使他意识到诚实的价值。 honesty诚实,正直

20.跟首段呼应，诚实正直是他成功的秘诀。
