Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word "threshold" in Paragraph 1 ?
A．direction
B．destination
C．position
D．beginning
参考答案
D
答案解析
词汇题。根据画线词定位于第一段第二句“Many of the leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility thrust upon them at the very threshold of their career．”。前一句“It is well that young men should begin at the beginning and occupy the most subordinate positions．"是说年轻人创业之初应该从最底层干起。因此后一句应该是说匹兹堡有许多大企业家在创业之初都肩负过重任。At the threshold of=at the beginning of意思是“在……之初”。故选D。
