1.A
【句意】他们过去常吵架,但现在完全和解了。
【解析】固定搭配。由句中关键词“They used to quarrel a lot, but now…他们过去常常争吵,但现在……”的对应知可构成固定搭配“be reconciled with与……和解”的A项正确。negotiate“谈判;协商”;associate“联想;联系;交往”;accommodate“容纳;为……提供住宿;使……适应”。
2.A
【句意】钻石没有多少内在价值,它们的价格几乎完全取决于它们的稀缺性。
【解析】形容词词义辨析。intrinsic“本身的;内在的”;eternal“永恒的;不朽的;无休止的”;subtle“微妙的;不易察觉的”;inherent“与生俱来的;遗传的”。由句中关键词“Diamonds”的对应知“内在的”更符合语境,故A项正确。

【参考译文】Lanterns, also known as colored-lantern making, originated from the Western Han Dynasty more than 1,800 years ago. In ancient times, the main function of the lanterns was lighting. Now, a lantern, which has combined various kinds of crafts such as painting, paper cutting, paper crafts, seam, has become a traditional art and craft for collection and appreciation. During festivals and celebrations lanterns can be seen everywhere, and especially on the Lantern Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival people tend to put up red lanterns which symbolize reunion to create a festive atmosphere.
