By November 1995, the full course 4 and work schedule left me physically and mentally worn out. One night, I came home from work late and reached my 5 point.

Then I had an idea. With tears in my eyes, I 8 and wrote myself a check for $1 million. I told myself that I would 9 that check for the full amount three years after graduation. At the time, I usually had so little money in my 10 that I never knew if I would have enough to 11 $40 from the bank.
Fast-forward to 1996. I had graduated from SMU, and within three years, I was building the first of several companies I would 12 and sell over the next few decades. The 13 of those businesses exceeded (超过) that of the check.

本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从小因家境贫困所以刻苦学习获得了奖学金，并在学习之余打工付账单。在自己濒临崩溃的时候，作者给自己开了一张支票，以激励自己摆脱现状。最终在不断努力下作者成立了几家公司。那张支票成了一种提醒，提醒自己无论事情有多艰难都能做到。
1.C 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我的家庭几乎入不敷出，我从小就很穷。happy “快乐的”； shy “害羞的”； poor “贫穷的”； brave “勇敢的”。根据上文“With my family hardly making ends meet”可知，作者从小家里就很贫穷。故选C。
2.A 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我上了社区大学，然后获得了达拉斯南卫理公会大学考克斯商学院的学术奖学金，在那里显然我需要保持成绩才能获得奖学金。earn “赢得；赚”； found “创立”； expect “预期”； concern “使担心”。根据下文“an academic scholarship”以及“where I obviously needed to keep my grades up to keep the scholarship”可知，作者获得了奖学金。故选A。
3.B 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：这很困难，因为与此同时，我放学后还要工作来支付账单。impossible “不可能的”； difficult “困难的”； fun “有趣的”； necessary “必需的”。根据下文“because at the same time, I was working after school to pay the bills”可知，作者需要放学后打工来付账单，能在学业上获得奖学金是很不容易的。故选B。
4.B 考查名词词义辨析。句意：到1995年11月，我的满满的课程负载和工作日程让我身心疲惫。option “选择”； load “负载”； promotion “促销”； location “位置”。根据下文“left me physically and mentally worn out”可知，满满的课业和工作让作者很疲惫。故选B。
5.D 考查动词词义辨析。句意：一天晚上，我下班回家很晚，到了崩溃的地步。start “启动”； stick “粘”； talk “说话”； break “打破”。根据上文“left me physically and mentally worn out”以及下文“I had class in just a few hours and still needed to prepare, despite 6 needing a few hours of sleep. I sat on the floor of my apartment and 7 .”可知，这一天的劳累让作者处于崩溃的边缘，breaking point意为“崩溃点，极限”。故选D。
6.A 考查副词词义辨析。句意：我刚上了几个小时的课，尽管我迫切需要几个小时的睡眠，但我仍然需要准备。desperately “拼命地，极度地”； obviously “明显地”； gradually “逐渐地”； temporarily “暂时地”。根据上文“I had class in just a few hours and still needed to prepare”可知，作者上了几个小时的课还要再准备课，因此作者非常疲劳，非常需要休息。故选A。
7.C 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我坐在公寓的地板上哭了。whisper “低声说”； hug “拥抱”； cry “哭”； regret “后悔”。根据上文“One night, I came home from work late and reached my 5 point.”以及下文“With tears in my eyes”可知，作者快要崩溃了，就哭了。故选C。
8.D 考查动词短语辨析。句意：我热泪盈眶，站起身给自己开了一张100万美元的支票。give in “屈服”； bend down “弯下腰”； turn around “转身”； get up “起床，站起来”。根据上文“I sat on the floor”可知，作者是从地板上站起来给自己开支票的。故选D。
9.C 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我告诉自己，我会在毕业三年后全额兑现那张支票。recover “恢复”； maintain “保持”； cash “兑现支票”； examine “检查”。根据下文“At the time, I usually had so little money in my 10 that I never knew if I would have enough to 11 $40 from the bank.”可知，作者要用现金兑现这张支票。故选C。
10.B 考查名词词义辨析。句意：当时，我的账户里通常只有很少的钱，我不知道我是否有足够的钱从银行提取40美元。mind “头脑”； account “账户”； bill “账单”； salary “薪水”。根据下文“to 11 $40 from the bank”可知，作者从银行取钱一定有银行账户。故选B。
11.A 考查动词词义辨析。句意同上。withdraw “撤回，提取”； donate “捐赠”； afford “承担得起”； ensure “确保”。根据下文“$40 from the bank”可知，是从银行取钱。故选A。

13.A 考查名词词义辨析。句意：这些业务的价值超过了支票的价值。value “价值”； impact “影响”； challenge “挑战”； budget “预算”。根据上文“I had graduated from SMU, and within three years, I was building the first of several companies I would 12 and sell over the next few decades.”可知，作者成立了几家公司，这几家公司的价值远远超过了这张支票。故选A。
14.D 考查副词词义辨析。句意：相反，我把它放在抽屉里，作为一种提醒，无论事情有多艰难，我都能做到。otherwise “否则”； therefore “因此”； moreover “此外”； instead “相反”。根据上文“I’ve never cashed it.”以及下文“I keep it in my drawer as a(n) 15 that I can make it, no matter how tough things get.”可知，上下文是转折关系，此处需要副词表示转折，Instead符合语境。故选D。
15.C 考查名词词义辨析。句意同上。agreement “协议”； announcement “公告”； reminder “提醒”； argument “争论”。根据下文“I can make it, no matter how tough things get”可知，作者把这张支票当作了一种提醒，提醒自己无论事情有多艰难都能做到。故选C。(共40张PPT)
