Unit 1 Living well 李仕才 ‎***阅读理解。‎ Diamonds are considered the most famous and valuable jewel in the world.The precious stone for its great value is believed to be the symbol of wealth.Diamonds are made as a result of great volcanic heat and pressure.When a volcano is active，it sometimes explodes and causes great damage to the nearby towns.‎ However，at the same time of such a disaster，diamonds were pushed towards the surface of the earth by a number of great volcanic explosions millions of years ago.Thus，it may be very likely to find a diamond after a volcanic eruption.Besides，diamonds are also found among the sandy sandstone of certain river beds，and in a few places on the sea floor，for they were washed down the mountain sides by the rain.‎ Diamonds are very rare.There are not many places that produce such precious things in the world.During the last century adventurers from Europe went to Brazil，because they had heard that there were diamonds in the Amazon River.Many of these early diamond miners died of illness or were lost forever in the great forests.But some returned home rich.‎ The earliest known diamonds were found in India many centuries ago.The_most_recent_and_exciting_discoveries_have_been_made_in_eastern_Russia.But most of the world's diamonds now come from the Congo，from Tanzania，and also from South Africa—which has the largest diamond mines in the world.‎ ‎1．What do we know about diamonds according to the passage?‎ A．Diamonds are always accompanied by volcanic eruptions.‎ B．Diamonds are created by volcanic eruptions.‎ C．Diamonds are considered as a sign of wealth.‎ D．Diamonds could be always found in a few riverbanks.‎ ‎2．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a famous place producing diamonds?‎ A．The Congo. B．South Africa.‎ C．India. D．Western Europe.‎ ‎3．What can we know from the third paragraph?‎ A．Diamond mining can be dangerous for the miners.‎ B．Brazil plays a more important role in diamond mining.‎ C．The Amazon River has no large diamond mines nowadays.‎ 8‎ D．Many miners returned home due to the risks in diamond mining.‎ ‎4．What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph?‎ A．Eastern Russia has been famous for diamond mining for a long time.‎ B．The diamond deposit in eastern Russia wasn't discovered until recently.‎ C．Eastern Russia is not as important as African countries in diamond mining.‎ D．The eastern part of Russia will replace all African countries in diamond mining.‎ ‎【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了钻石的来源和产地。‎ ‎【段意梳理】第一至二段：钻石的产生与火山爆发有关。‎ 第三至四段：钻石的产地。‎ ‎1．C　考查细节理解。根据文章第一段第二句“The precious stone for its great value is believed to be the symbol of wealth”可知，钻石被认为是财富的象征。‎ ‎2．D　考查细节理解。根据第三、四两段对钻石产地的介绍可知，西欧并不在有名的钻石产地之列。‎ ‎3．A　考查细节理解。根据第三段倒数第二句“Many of these early diamond miners died of illness or were lost forever in the great forests”可知，开采钻石对采矿者来说有可能是危险的，故A项正确。第三段并未提及巴西在开采钻石方面扮演着更重要的角色，因此B项错误；C项在文中也并未提及；根据第三段倒数第二句“Many of these early diamond miners died of illness or were lost forever in the great forests”可知D项错误。‎ ‎4．B　考查句意理解。画线句前一句提到已知的最早的钻石在印度被发现，后一句提到现在大部分钻石来源于刚果民主共和国、坦桑尼亚和南非。由此可推知，画线句讲的应是最近在俄罗斯东部发现了钻石，故B项“直到最近人们才在俄罗斯东部发现钻石矿床”正确。‎ ‎***语法填空。‎ A man named Bob May, depressed and broken－hearted, stared out his apartment window into the cold December night.‎ His 4－year－old daughter Barbara sat on his lap __1__ (quiet) sobbing.
