1.D 2.A 3.D 4.A 5.B 6.C 7.C 8.A 9.B 10.C 11.B 12.B 13.D 14.A 15.D 16.C 17.D 18.A 19.C 20.B 【解析】珠宝商 Jenkins 以假乱真,骗取价值连城的钻石戒指,后来假戒指遇火受损引出追查偷梁换柱者,最终 Jenkins 被抓获并被判刑。 1.D 考查副词。A. only 仅仅; B. surely 当然; C. nearly几乎; D. exactly精确地。为了达到以假乱真的目的,当然要使假品极像(exactly like)真品。故选D。 2.A考查动词。A. accepted 接受; B. received 收到; C. refused 拒绝; D. rejected驳回。为了达到以假乱真的目的,当然要使假品极像(exactly like)真品。也正因为是“极像”,所以店主才“毫无疑问地接受了它”(accepted it without a question)。故选A。 3. D考查形容词。A. real 真的; B. modern 现代化的; C. worthy值得的; D. valuable有价值的。从含义上看,这里应填“更有价值”这样的意思,所以似乎 A、B 都行,但由于 worthy 表示“有价值”时往往含有反语意味,故不宜选择。D项正确。 4. A考查动词。A. flew 飞; B. drove驾驶; C. sailed航行; D. bicycled骑自行车。从下文的“向飞机走去”这一语境,可知这里应是填 flew(飞)。故选A。 5.B考查形容词。A. first第一; B. second 第二; C. last 最后; D. next下一个。前文已告诉我们:这位珠宝商是先做了一个价值 57000 英镑的钻石戒指 (这是 the first one),后才照此做了个仿制品(这是 the second one)。故选B。 6.C考查动词。A. sold卖; B. posted 贴出; C. brought 拿来,带来; D. returned归还。指戒指买主将遇火受损的次品戒指“带来”(brought)退货。故选C。 7.C考查名词。A. cost代价; B. money 金钱; C. price价格; D. value价值。请注意该句中的 high, pay 这两个词,能与它们搭配且意义通顺的只有 price。故选C。 8. A考查名词。A. facts事实; B. matters事情; C. questions问题; D. results结果。这里指陈述事情经过,即“事实”(facts)。故选A。 9.B考查名词。A. affair 事务; B. accident 事故; C. incident事件; D. experience经历。汽车起火,当然是出了“事故”(accident)。故选B。 10. C考查并列连词。在这次事故中,人幸免一死,而戒指却在火中受损,前后意思转折,所以选 but。 11.B考查名词。A. pile 堆; B. heat 热度; C. power 力量; D. pressure压力。火毁戒指,自然是由于火之“高温”(heat)。故选B。 12.B考查动词。A. think 想,认为; B. agree 同意; C. permit许可; D. promise许诺。事实面前,店主不得不“承认”(agree)。故选B。 13.D考查副词。A. almost 几乎; B. even甚至; C. just仅仅; D. ever曾经。这里的 ever 意为“曾经”,注意其前的否定词 no,两者结合起来意为“未曾”,刚好合其语境。故选D。 14.A考查形容词。A. real 真的; B. pure 纯的; C. right 正确的; D. exact准确的。这里的 real(真) 与下文的 faulty(假) 相对。故选A。 15.D考查动词。A. copied 复制; B. made 制造; C. stole偷; D. did做。请注意:从语境上看,其后的 it 指的应该是 Someone had taken the real diamond and put a faulty one in its place 这件事,而不是指 diamond ring 这个东西。所以要选 did 这个动词。 16.C考查名词。A. notices通知; B. magazines 杂志; C. newspapers 报纸;D. programmes方案,计划。从常识上看,这里应是将戒指的照片登在“报纸”上,况且其后一行也有 in the papers 这样的暗示。故选C。 17.D考查动词。A. saw看见; B. knew知道; C. found 发现; D. recognized认识。从语境上看,这里选 saw(见过)和 recognized(认出)这两个动词均可,但细心的考生会觉得若选 saw,则应用过去完成时态(had seen)才合逻辑。故选D。 18.A考查动词。A. showed 展示; B. drew 牵引; C. printed 印刷; D. carried搬运。这里的 showed 指的是“刊登”。故选A。 19.C考查动词。A. carrying 搬运; B. dressing 给---穿衣; C. wearing穿上; D. holding握住。表示“带花(手表、项链、戒指等)”,均用动词 wear。 20.B考查名词。A. dancer 舞蹈者; B. woman 妇女; C. reader 读者; D. jeweler珠宝商。从前文可知,是一位“妇女”(women)带着一个大钻石戒指。故选B。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

I can’t tell you how excited I was when I joined my first book club, but I can tell you how much I immediately regretted it. Don’t get me wrong. I love book clubs of course.1.To avoid this continuous and unpleasant matter, and to look smart in the club as well, I have a few tricks to share with you.

1. Make a good excuse for not reading the book.

Some of your club friends might try to shame you for not reading the book.2.. And it is absolutely weong. The best way to defend yourself is to come up with a strong, thoughtful excuse for not reading it.

2.3.

The Kindle app for your Android or iPhone actually records the most quoted passages by all readers. Simply do a quick Google search for “most quoted passages”+ “the name of the book” and see what comes up. Make sure you’re the first to speak up. When you read the quote, read it forcefully, taking long, thoughtful pauses.

3. Pick an opinion

4.There, you’ll find lots of opinions on the book, which range from glowing to inspiring; simply pick one and use it as your own during the book discussion. This way you don’t have to read the book or think for yourself.

4. Always vote for books that are also movies

Fight hard for books with a movie version. And make sure it’s a short movie you can easily watch while sleeping on the couch. When someone complains that the book you want to read is also a movie –act surprised.

5.You are sure to make yourself look smart. Anyway book clubs are great social platforms, which provide an enjoyable and meaningful addition to your social calendar(日历).

A. Read a quote aloud and slowly.

B. Make your book look worn.

C. I just hate reading and talking to people.

D. Find a suitable website and look up the very book.

E. This is called “didn’t read the book shaming.”

F. You’re deeply considering everything being said.

G. In short, you’ll never feel embarrassed with the tricks.
