Answer 1

答案：D;A;D;A;B;C;C;A;B;C;B;B;D;A;D;C;D;A;C;B
解析：

1．形容copy的戒指完全像第一枚戒指，表示簡(jiǎn)直無(wú)懈可擊．exactly修飾look like相當(dāng)于look completely like，符合題意要求． 　　2．商店沒(méi)看出破綻，自然是accepted it（接收它），而不可能received it（收到它）． 　　3．more valuable“更有價(jià)值的”；worth“值得的”的意思；real“真實(shí)的”，這兩個(gè)鉆戒在真實(shí)性上不能做比較；modern“現(xiàn)代的”，與本文無(wú)關(guān)． 　　4．在文中最一段中的“…a plane for Paris.”可看出詹金斯和妻子是乘飛機(jī)去巴黎度周末的． 　　5．珠寶店的那枚戒指是根據(jù)第一枚仿造的，故B為最佳答案． 　　6．買主發(fā)現(xiàn)不是真的，就拿回來(lái)了．因?yàn)樵�文中�?/FONT>back，故排除returned． 　　7．價(jià)格是論高低而言．I paid是該空的后置定語(yǔ)，只有money和price能做paid的賓語(yǔ)，但是high后只能選price． 　　8．從上下文的敘述可知，“于是他告訴他們事情的經(jīng)過(guò)（即事實(shí)）．” 　　9．由caught fire可得出答案為accident“偶然的事；不測(cè)事件”． 　　10．表示人逃了，但戒指卻掉在火中． 　　11．因?yàn)檎娼鸩慌禄馃�，所以假的也就被火的熱度給損壞了． 　　12．從下句的意思來(lái)判斷，該題的最佳答案為B． 　　13．ever相當(dāng)于at any time．該句意思是“他們知道在任何時(shí)候火都不能使寶石受損”． 　　14．real是句中的faulty的反義詞． 　　15．did it指代上文中的take the real diamond and put a faulty one in its place． 　　16．下文的信息為該題提供了線索． 　　17．根據(jù)上下文內(nèi)容可以判斷出正確答案為D，recognize的意思是be able to identify sb./sth．again that one has seen before （辨認(rèn)出），符合題意． 　　18．表示報(bào)紙上展示出一位著名的舞蹈家走出飛往巴黎的飛機(jī)的情景． 　　19．wear a ring“戴戒指”． 　　20．最后一句話表明，戴美麗的寶石戒指的人一定是詹金斯的妻子，所以B是該題的正確選項(xiàng)．
