1.C

【句意】如果你不能完全戒烟，至少试着减少抽烟。

【解析】词组辨析。take down“（从高处）取下；拆除；记下”；turn down“拒绝；调低（音量或热度）”；cut down“减少；砍倒”；set down“制定；把……写下来”。由句中关键词“can’t give up smoking completely不能完全戒烟”与“at least至少”的对应知“减少”符合语境，故C项正确。

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。

【汉译英参考答案】

【参考译文】More and more overseas Chinese parents who have received an English education have realized the importance of their children’s proficiency in Chinese while mastering the indispensable English language. The rise of China has made them become fully aware of the benefits of their children’s bilingualism, which can not only increase their employment opportunities, but also expose them to and familiarize them with the two different cultures of the East and West. These people’s attitudes towards Chinese have hardly changed at all. Once upon a time, they proudly claimed that they knew only English. Now, they have begun to actively support their children in learning Chinese and Chinese culture, and visit China from time to time to appreciate its spectacular natural scenery and understand its rich cultural heritage.
