10、民如此心潮澎湃，用动词 excite 表示“使兴奋” 。2D 上文提到他卖掉了农场，所以他后来就在非洲大陆游荡(wandering)，寻找钻石。3C 根据第一段第一句判断，这个农民在非洲大陆上寻找的肯定是 diamonds。4D 根据上文中的“unsuccessfully”和下文中的“投河自尽”可知，他的心情是disappointed。5B 那个买下农场的人有一天横穿(crossing)农场附近的一条小溪的时候，故选 B 项。6A 突然他看见小溪底部有什么东西在闪闪发光。此处考查固定句型 be doing . when .“正在做突然” 。7B 根据上文中的“闪闪发光的东西”推断，此石头应当是
11、 special。8B 根据下文中的“放在桌子上”可知，他应当是将石头带回家了，所以用 home。9C 一位客人来欣赏那块石头，他仔细(closely)观察着。nearly“几乎，将近” ； clearly“清晰地，明显地” ； tightly“紧紧地，坚固地” 。10D 他问那个农民是否(if)知道自己捡到的是什么。从句子结构和意义上分析，此处有“是否”之义，所以用 if。11A 那位客人告诉他，他捡到的是迄今为止人类发现的(discovered)最大的钻石之一。ever discovered 作后置定语。12C 他告诉那位客人他的小溪里到处都是这种发光的石头。be full of“被充满”
12、 。13C 第一个农民卖掉的农场结果却是整个非洲大陆上最多产的钻石矿。turn out意为“证明是，结果是” 。14B 第一个农民本来拥有(owned)大量的钻石。15D 但他为了去其他地方寻找(look for)钻石而把自己本来拥有的大量钻石卖了。16D 如果第一个农民花一点时间去学习和准备，弄清楚钻石是什么样的， prepare oneself for“为做准备” 。17B 在勘探其他地方之前先勘探(explore)一下自己已经拥有的那块地。measure“量” ； dig“挖” ； develop“开发” 。18A 他做梦都想不到的事情就可以成真(come true)。B 项有一定的干扰
13、性。realize 为及物动词，因此应该用被动语态。19C 根据全文意思及下文与之并列的名词 patience，我们可以推测此处用wisdom，语境是：如果我们每个人都有智慧和耐心去首先探索自己。20A 我们就会发现，我们拥有(contain)这种能力。.短文改错(2014郑州高一检测)Im very exciting to receive your letter.
