SBA in 2017,a lot of people have started to look at what she's doing and how her companyhas become so successful.Page,who runs an engineering and construction consulting firm,started the businessback in 1993,but sort of dragged along for many years with no big success.There were plentyof times when Page could have thrown in the towel,but she kept pushing through.Starting out in an industry mainly made up of male-owned businesses wasn't easy,norwas the potential of finding enough money to support the quality services she had to provideclients()with.Page used as many as 15 credit cards to help the company stay in businessin the early-to-mid 1990s.Then,she received a $250,000 SBA guaranteed loan in 2001 tokeep the company working after nearly a decade in business,Since then,the company has doubled profits,hired more than two dozen new team mem-bers,acquired more than a dozen new company vehicles,and almost doubled its square foot-age.It's a huge growth increase for a company that's been around for nearly 25 years andspeaks of the hard work and commitment of Page and her team.When asked what her biggest piece of advice to small business owners would be,Pagesays,"Keep your faith and be patient.Don't give up...don't quit!"Those words have beenheard in many cases and do sound cliche(陈词滥调)，but when they come from someone likeSheryl Page,who is living proof of the good that can come from being patient,they ring truerthan ever.If you learn anything from her company's success,it should be that growth is rare-ly immediate,but that doesn't mean it isn't coming.24.What does the underlined part"thrown in the towel"in paragraph 2 probably mean?A.Given up.B.Sought help.C.Come to a new level.D.Taken up something else.25.In what situation did Page start her consulting business?A.When there were few clients.B.When the whole business was in a poor state.B▣C.When it didn't have much development potential.D.When businesswomen were not generally accepted.26.What did Page do after she got the loan?A.She started working for the SBA.国B.She put it into saving her business.衡水样卷·衡水名校高三月考卷（二）·英语第5页（共12页）
