Answer 1

珠寶商 Jenkins 以假亂真，騙取價(jià)值連城的鉆石戒指，后來假戒指遇火受損引出追查偷梁換柱者，最終 Jenkins 被抓獲并被判刑。
1. D /2 A。為了達(dá)到以假亂真的目的，當(dāng)然要使假品極像(exactly like)真品。也正因?yàn)槭恰皹O像”，所以店主才“毫無疑問地接受了它”(accepted it without a question)。
2. D。從含義上看，這里應(yīng)填“更有價(jià)值”這樣的意思，所以似乎 A、B 都行，但由于 worthy 表示“有價(jià)值”時(shí)往往含有反語意味(見《牛津現(xiàn)代高級(jí)英漢雙解詞典》)，故不宜選擇。
3. A。從下文的“向飛機(jī)走去”這一語境，可知這里應(yīng)是填 flew(飛)。
4. B。前文已告訴我們：這位珠寶商是先做了一個(gè)價(jià)值 57000 英鎊的鉆石戒指 (這是 the first one)，后才照此做了個(gè)仿制品(這是 the second one)。
5. C。指戒指買主將遇火受損的次品戒指“帶來”(brought)退貨。
6. C。請(qǐng)注意該句中的 high, pay 這兩個(gè)詞，能與它們搭配且意義通順的只有 price。
7. A。這里指陳述事情經(jīng)過，即“事實(shí)”(facts)。
8. B。汽車起火，當(dāng)然是出了“事故”(accident)。
9. C。在這次事故中，人幸免一死，而戒指卻在火中受損，前后意思轉(zhuǎn)折，所以選 but。
10. B�；饸Ы渲福�自然是由于火之“高溫”(heat)。
11. B。事實(shí)面前，店主不得不“承認(rèn)”(agree)。
12. D。這里的 ever 意為“曾經(jīng)”，注意其前的否定詞 no，兩者結(jié)合起來意為“未曾”，剛好合其語境。
13. A。這里的 real(真) 與下文的 faulty(假) 相對(duì)。
14. D。請(qǐng)注意：從語境上看，其后的 it 指的應(yīng)該是 Someone had taken the real diamond and put a faulty one in its place 這件事，而不是指 diamond ring 這個(gè)東西。所以要選 did 這個(gè)動(dòng)詞。
15. C。從常識(shí)上看，這里應(yīng)是將戒指的照片登在“報(bào)紙”上，況且其后一行也有 in the papers 這樣的暗示。
16. D。從語境上看，這里選 saw(見過)和 recognized(認(rèn)出)這兩個(gè)動(dòng)詞均可，但細(xì)心的考生會(huì)覺得若選 saw，則應(yīng)用過去完成時(shí)態(tài)(had seen)才合邏輯。
17. A。這里的 showed 指的是“刊登”。
18. C。表示“帶花(手表、項(xiàng)鏈、戒指等)”，均用動(dòng)詞 wear。
19. B。從前文可知，是一位“婦女”(women)帶著一個(gè)大鉆石戒指。
