He sold the stone to a diamond dealer for over three hundred thousand dollars. In New York, the diamond was resold，this time for almost eight hundred thousand dollars. The true value of a diamond is never known until it has been cut. Once cut successfully, its value can increase a thousand times. Its easy to understand why the owner of the Joker diamond went to the best diamond cutter he knew, Kaplan. The cutter studied the diamond for twelve whole months. When he felt he was ready to start work, he discovered a flaw (瑕疵). He had to begin with his calculations all over again, or he might have made the stone useless. Six more months passed, and Kaplan finally said to the owner, “I am ready to start my work. There will be one excellent diamond that will be parable to any in the world, plus eleven small diamonds of first-class quality.” Kaplan waited a few more days until he felt he was in the best physical and mental (精神的) condition possible. He picked up his tools and held his breath as he made the first blow. The diamond split (切开) exactly as he promised.Joker found one of the biggest diamonds in the world _. A. in a minute B. at the foot of a big mountain C. in his own backyard D. in a garageA diamond dealer is a person _, A. in the diamond business B. who stores diamonds C. who cuts diamonds D. who sells diamondsThe owner of the Joker diamond thought that if the diamond was cut successfully it might be worth _. A. $300,000 B. $500, 000 C. $300, 000,000 D. $800, 000, 000Kaplan studied the diamond for _. A. one year B. more than half a year C. over eighteen months D. more than two yearsBIn Yemen, you always see one type of vehicle on the road: the water truck. They travel mountain roads and cross deserts to bring Yemenis the goods more valuable than oil. It is one that only the rich can afford, with the supply regularly being cut off. Others must rely on scarce rain or charity to fight thirst.Experts say Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. The capital, Sanaa, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025, says a report by the World Bank.Hannan, an 18yearold from Lahej, said that only the rich could prepare for cuts in supply. “In a good week well have a water supply all week but then the following week there will be water only for a day or two,” she said.She and her husband, a factory worker, pay 3,000 riyals (99 yuan) for a weeks supply of water from a touring water truck when the taps run dry. With an ine of only 20,000 riyals (660 yuan) a month, this means the family often spend half their money on water.“There are a lot of people who cant afford it and they have to rely on their neighbors to help,” she said.The average person in Yemen survives on onefifth of what the World Health Organization considers to be enough water.In Taiz, in the south，tap water is available only once every 45 days. In the mountainous Malhan district in the north, women and children climb a 1,500m mountain to collect water from a spring，often in the small hours to avoid long queues.Yemen is located in Southwest Asia, bordering the Arabian and Red Sea. Yemeni people have lived on scarce water supplies for thousands of years but that problem has been made serious by conflict in the area，the fastgrowing population and the use of water to grow a drug called qat. With one of the worlds highest rates of population growth 3.46 percent, Yemen is the poorest Arab country.The government is considering desalinating (淡化) seawater, but this would be expensive and it may now be too late. The only other solution is to cut down on farming, but that means importing even more food.The passage aims to_.A. analyze the reasons why Yemen lacks waterB. suggest some solutions to the water issue in YemenC. present how serious the water problem is in YemenD. encourage the world to help Yemenis who are suffering from water shortagesWhen Hannan said that only the rich could prepare for cuts in supply，she meant that _.A. rich people drank more water than the poorB. rich people could buy water from the water trucks if there was a water supply cutC. she had a rich neighbor who often helped her during water supply cutsD. the rich were not affected by water supply cutsWhich of the following may be a reason why Yemen is short of water?A. The country has had no rain for a long time.B. The population of Yemen is growing fast.C. The government has failed to reduce farming.D. People cant afford the water from government water trucks.The best title for the passage is “_”.A. Never take water for grantedB. The water truckthe monest sight in YemenC. The first country to run out of water in the worldD. No water for YemenCUntil late in the 20th century, most Americans spent time with people of generations. Now mid-aged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves. Thats because we group people by age. We put our three-year-olds together in day-care center, our 13-year-olds in school and sports activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior-citizen homes. Why? We live away from the old for many reasons: young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears for aging and dying. It is much harder to watch someone we love disappear before our eyes. Sometimes its so hard that we stay away from the people who need us most. Fortunately, some of us have found our way to the old. And we have discovered that they often save the young. A reporter moved her family into a block filled with old people. At first her children were disappointed. But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbours and had her children deliver it and visit. Soon the children had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects. “My children have never been less lonely.” the reporter said. The young, in turn, save the old. Once I was in a rest home when a visitor showed up with a baby. She was immediately surrounded. People who hadnt gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair. Even those who had seemed asleep wake up to watch the child. Babies have an astonishing power to fort and cure. Grandparents are a special case. They give grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity. As my husband put it, “my grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end.” Grandchildren speak of attention they dont get from worried parents. “My parents were always telling me to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down.” one friend said. A teacher told me she can tell which pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter, calmer, more trusting.Now in an American family, people can find that _.A. children never live with their parentsB. not all working people live with their parentsC. aged people are supported by their grandchildrenD. grandchildren are supported by their grandparentsThe reason why old people are left alone may be that _.A. the old dont like to live in a big family B. the young cant get enough money to support the oldC. different generations have different lifestylesD. the old are too weak to live with the youngThe fact that the reporter told us shows that _.A. old people in America lead a hard life B. old people in America enjoy banana breadC. she had no time to take care of her childrenD. old people are easy to get along withSeeing a baby, the old people get excited because _. A. they had never seen a baby before B. the baby was clever and beautiful C. the baby brought them the image of lifeD. the babys mother would take care of themDPart IIf you are hunting a chance to improve yourself in English, TOP ENGLISH CITY will be a smart choice.
