off the rent and buy the house for the poor family.“Just make sure you get a receipt (收据)，”he warned her，and she promised that she would.Then he got a description of the man，and left with his

beauty impressed the world and was even thought to have some magical powers.The diamond is very hard and tough stone；its a symbol of strong and long lasting union.However，the first purpose of placing these diamonds on the rings is simply to add a sparkle (闪光) to the ring itself.Making it more attractive and impressive was only seen worn by the wealthy and those of royalty (皇族)The first engagement ring set with a diamond was the one given by the Archduke Maximilian to Mary of Burgundy back in 1477.During the Renaissance age，some engagement rings were produced with a piece of diamond in crystalline form.There were also engagement rings that have multiple diamonds designed in decorations and alphabet letters.Rings were also carved with love messages and flowers.The discovery of diamonds in Brazil made diamond engagement rings more popular and fashionable especially during social events and balls.During the Victorian Age，because of the Industrial Revolution and additional supply of diamond found in Africa，diamond engagement rings were not anymore private to the rich member of society but to the public as well.What makes the gemstones more interesting are the different colors they have and that the ring may be customized as the users conditions about the meaning of the stone according to months.One example is if the womans birthday is in January，her engagement ring

Brazil.DBecause of peoples demand.8The last paragraph is mainly about _.Athe cost of diamond according to colorsBthe names of diamond according to users conditionsCthe meaning of diamond according to monthsDthe meaning of diamond according to names详解答案.1.amazing2.athlete3.awful4.champion5.brilliant.1.选Dcompete against/with sb.for sth.为争取某物和某人对抗。2选Bincident通常指小事件；event指重大的、引人注目的事件；case事例，实例，事实；affair多用复数形式，指“事务”。由语境可知B项切题。3选Cbe strict with sb.in sth.“在某方面对某人要求严格”。4选Bprogress是不可数名词，不加冠词；make progress in表示“在某方面取得进步”。5选C由句意“我那么久没见安了，以致于我已忘了她长得什么样了”及句中引导结果状语从句的连接词，可知用so.that.结构。6选D句意：幸运的是，他的继母对他也很和蔼可亲。fortunately for sb.意为“对某人来说幸运的是”，为固定搭配。fortune为名词，fortunate为形容词，均不能在句中作状语。7选D前一分句句意：你为什么说他们做的计划几乎是无用的？useless“无用的，无效的”符合句意。valuable“有价值的”；legal“合法的”；reliable“可信赖的，可依靠的”。8选A根据后面句子的语境和前一句的时间状语“recently”，可知此处应用现在完成时，表示至今尚未收到来信。9选D句意：到目前为止，今年的猪肉价格已下降了5%到10%。so far“到目前为止”，通常与现在完成时连用，故D项正确。10选A句意：“你去参加那个聚会吗？”“如果被邀请，我当然会去。”if引导的条件状语从句的谓语动词用一般现在时表示将来。if invited为if I am invited的省略形式，意为“如果被邀请”。.语篇解读：杰西詹姆斯在美国是一位人尽皆知的传奇人物，他以劫富济贫而闻名于世，本文就是很好的一个例证。1选B细节理解题。詹姆斯和朋友骑马穿过Missouri的时候，看到了一家农舍，就停下来想要些吃的。2选C推理判断题。这位寡妇独自一人带着三个孩子，家境非常贫困，但是她倾其所有为詹姆斯和他的朋友提供午餐，说明她虽然贫穷但是善良。3选A细节理解题。寡妇说她要付的房租是fifteen hundred dollars，也就是1500美元。4选D推理判断题。最后一段提到了詹姆斯和朋友们等候在房东回家的路上，等房东收完房租后他们又把钱都偷了回来，所以最后拥有了这笔钱的是他和他的朋友。5选D细节理解题。通读全文可知，文中没有介绍第一颗钻石的用途。6选A推理判断题。根据文章第一段的第三句可知，开始只是为了增加戒指的光度，故可推知，它只是一个装饰品，选A项。7选A细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句可知，因为工业革命和非洲大量的钻石供应，普通人也能买起钻石的订婚戒指了，故选A项。8选C主旨大意题。根据最后一段的理解可知，本段主要讲述了按照女性生日的不同月份，订婚戒指上的钻石有不同的含义，故选C项。-
