4.On the evening of January 26,1905,Frederick Wells,a manager at the Premier  Diamond Mine in South Africa,was making his daily inspection when he suddenly saw a  reflection on the wall.(36)F He used a knife to get it out and found that it was 10cm  long,6cm high and 5cm thick and weighed about three quarters of a kilo.(37)CHe  was now even more certain that it was worthless,but just in case,he sent it to be  checked.
It's lucky that he did.The stone later became known as the Cullinan Diamond,the  biggest diamond in the world.It was perfectly clear,and twice the size of any other  diamond ever found.The Cullinan was sold to the local government for£150,000.(38)DThe discoverer himself received a reward of£3,500.
The important job of cutting the diamond to get full value from it was given to Joseph  Asscher,a famous diamond cutter from Amsterdam in Holland.(39)G On February  10,1908,Joseph Asscher prepared himself for the greatest job of his life.He placed his  special diamond-cutting tool and hit it,but the tool broke.Fortunately,though,the  diamond wasn't damaged.(40)AThis time it was separated perfectly into three large  sections,which were later separated again into mne main diamonds,plus many smaller  ones.The largest piece is called Cullinan I,or the Star of Africa,and is now on display in  the Tower of London.

A.He got a special extra-large tool and tried again.
B.Diamonds needed to be cut in order to reach their full value.
C.This was much bigger than any diamond he had ever heard of.
D.It was later given to King Edward Vll as a 66th birthday present.
E.He knew one good cutting would cost thousands of pounds.
F.He guessed it was a piece of glass someone llad put there as a trick.
G.He stu died the huge diamond for three months before deciding where to make the cut.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了一块巨大钻石被发现的戏剧化事件,最终它被献给国王,制成精致的装饰品.

解答 36.F.推理判断题.根据后文He  was now even more certain that it was worthless可知他说这是一块玻璃,是别人摆在那里戏弄他的;故选F.
37.C.推理判断题.根据后文He  was now even more certain that it was worthless可知这比他听说过的任何钻石都大得多,一定不是钻石;故选C.
38.D.推理判断题.根据前文The Cullinan was sold to the local government for£150,000可知钻石被交到了King Edward Vll作为一个第六十六岁的生日礼物;故选D.
39.G.推理判断题.根据后文On February  10,1908,Joseph Asscher prepared himself for the greatest job of his life可知他研究了巨大的钻石的三个月决定在哪里进行切割;故选G.
40.A.推理判断题.根据后文This time it was separated perfectly into three large  sections,which were later separated again into mne main diamonds可知他得到了一个特殊的特大型工具,并再次尝试,才切割了钻石;故选A.

点评 考察学生的推理判断能力和联系上下文的能力,在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.此类的填空题一定要联系上下文,根据上下文的内容加上自己的理解,再作出正确的判断.

71.B
When you arrange your week,you make a list of things that you have to do.After making this list,you should make a schedule of your time,such as your time for eating,sleeping,dressing,etc.Then decide a good,regular time for studying.Don't forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems,but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.
72.A
The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject.They help you remember your new knowledge.The world won't end if you don't pass a test,so don't overly worry.
73.D
When you get home from school,go over your notes.Review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class.If you know what the teacher is going to discuss the next day,read that material.This will help you understand the next class.If you do these things regularly,the material will become more meaningful,and you will remember it longer.
74.E

13.Peer(同龄人)Pressure
Peer pressure is just part of the challenges in life.(36)C If you need further guidance,this article might help you.It provides three effective tips to deal with it:
Be with friends who respect your beliefs
You can go out with people who accept and respect the things you believe in and those who you know you can share your interests with.It is all right to be choosy with friends because you just want what is best for them and you.(37)F  You are just exhibiting what you know is right and good for both sides.Your friends will understand you for that.They can drag you away from discrimination and you can be confident that they will not leave you for your stand in life.
(38)B
When you are driven by so many peer pressures,you can always stay away from it.You can actually decide not to be one of them.When you have decided on it,learn to be firm with your decision.(39)GThey should know that you cannot be forced to do certain things because you are strong and firm with what you believe in.
Learn how to say no
Learning to say no is one big factor to deal with some pressures from all of your friends.When you are convinced to do something you know that can only destroy you or ruin you,learn to say no.(40)E  You cannot just say yes to anything.You have a functional mind and you know what is best for you.So learn to say no even if saying no means losing your friends.

A.Don't blame others.
B.Have a firm decision.
C.You should know how to deal with it.
D.You can always deal with it positively.
E.Just be straightforward and say it without hesitation.
F.This does not mean you are being selfish or you are being self-centered.
G.This can make them believe that you cannot just be driven by any other thing.
