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,表示简直无懈可击.exactly修饰look like相当于look completely like,符合题意要求.

  2.商店没看出破绽,自然是accepted it(接收它),而不可能received it(收到它).

  3more valuable“更有价值的”;worth“值得的”的意思;real“真实的”,这两个钻戒在真实性上不能做比较;modern“现代的”,与本文无关.

  4.在文中最一段中的“…a plane for Paris.”可看出詹金斯和妻子是乘飞机去巴黎度周末的.

  5.珠宝店的那枚戒指是根据第一枚仿造的,故B为最佳答案.

  6.买主发现不是真的,就拿回来了.因为原文中有back,故排除returned

  7.价格是论高低而言.I paid是该空的后置定语,只有moneyprice能做paid的宾语,但是high后只能选price

  8.从上下文的叙述可知,“于是他告诉他们事情的经过(即事实).”

  9.由caught fire可得出答案为accident“偶然的事;不测事件”.

  10.表示人逃了,但戒指却掉在火中.

  11.因为真金不怕火炼,所以假的也就被火的热度给损坏了.

  12.从下句的意思来判断,该题的最佳答案为B

  13ever相当于at any time.该句意思是“他们知道在任何时候火都不能使宝石受损”.

  14real是句中的faulty的反义词.

  15did it指代上文中的take the real diamond and put a faulty one in its place

  16.下文的信息为该题提供了线索.

  17.根据上下文内容可以判断出正确答案为Drecognize的意思是be able to identify sb./sthagain that one has seen before (辨认出),符合题意.

  18.表示报纸上展示出一位著名的舞蹈家走出飞往巴黎的飞机的情景.

  19wear a ring“戴戒指”.

  20.最后一句话表明,戴美丽的宝石戒指的人一定是詹金斯的妻子,所以B是该题的正确选项.
