珠宝商 Jenkins 以假乱真，骗取价值连城的钻石戒指，后来假戒指遇火受损引出追查偷梁换柱者，最终 Jenkins 被抓获并被判刑。
1. D /2 A。为了达到以假乱真的目的，当然要使假品极像(exactly like)真品。也正因为是“极像”，所以店主才“毫无疑问地接受了它”(accepted it without a question)。
2. D。从含义上看，这里应填“更有价值”这样的意思，所以似乎 A、B 都行，但由于 worthy 表示“有价值”时往往含有反语意味(见《牛津现代高级英汉双解词典》)，故不宜选择。
3. A。从下文的“向飞机走去”这一语境，可知这里应是填 flew(飞)。
4. B。前文已告诉我们：这位珠宝商是先做了一个价值 57000 英镑的钻石戒指 (这是 the first one)，后才照此做了个仿制品(这是 the second one)。
5. C。指戒指买主将遇火受损的次品戒指“带来”(brought)退货。
6. C。请注意该句中的 high, pay 这两个词，能与它们搭配且意义通顺的只有 price。
7. A。这里指陈述事情经过，即“事实”(facts)。
8. B。汽车起火，当然是出了“事故”(accident)。
9. C。在这次事故中，人幸免一死，而戒指却在火中受损，前后意思转折，所以选 but。
10. B。火毁戒指，自然是由于火之“高温”(heat)。
11. B。事实面前，店主不得不“承认”(agree)。
12. D。这里的 ever 意为“曾经”，注意其前的否定词 no，两者结合起来意为“未曾”，刚好合其语境。
13. A。这里的 real(真) 与下文的 faulty(假) 相对。
14. D。请注意：从语境上看，其后的 it 指的应该是 Someone had taken the real diamond and put a faulty one in its place 这件事，而不是指 diamond ring 这个东西。所以要选 did 这个动词。
15. C。从常识上看，这里应是将戒指的照片登在“报纸”上，况且其后一行也有 in the papers 这样的暗示。
16. D。从语境上看，这里选 saw(见过)和 recognized(认出)这两个动词均可，但细心的考生会觉得若选 saw，则应用过去完成时态(had seen)才合逻辑。
17. A。这里的 showed 指的是“刊登”。
18. C。表示“带花(手表、项链、戒指等)”，均用动词 wear。
19. B。从前文可知，是一位“妇女”(women)带着一个大钻石戒指。
