课文简介

本课主要介绍了钻石的特性、形成、分布以及开采方式。读了本课，你会了解钻石的形成与数百万年前的地壳运动有关;你也会了解深受上至达官贵人下至普通百姓喜爱的“恒久远”的钻石在刚开采出来时并不光彩照人。

本课语言点

1.They are the hardest substance found in nature.

本句中found in nature是定语从句，修饰substance.定语从句中省略了that are.这种省略现象在定语从句中很常见，在前几个单元中，我们遇到过多次。请看下面的句子：

1)There are many books(that)I'd like to read.(有很多书我想看。)

2)He is a man(that)we all like and trust.(他是一个我们大家喜欢和信赖的人。)

3)This is the most interesting film(that)I have ever seen.(这是我看过的最有意思的电影)

先行词的前面有形容词最高级时，定语从句必须用that引导，而不用which.

本句中的hardest意思为“坚硬的”“坚固的”，而不是“困难的”。

mean是一个很常见的词，本句中的意思是“意味着”。mean还有“意欲，企图，打算”的意思。请看下面的句子，注意mean在各句中的意思和用法：

1)What do you mean by saying this to me?(你对我说这个是什么意思?)

2)Friendship means everything to him.(友谊对他来说意味着一切。)

3)The teacher's praise meant so much to the children.(老师的表扬对孩子们来说很重要。)

4)I'm serious about this.I mean what I say.(我对此事是认真的，我说话算数。)

5)I'm sorry，I didn't mean to hurt you.(对不起，我无意伤害你。)

6)They meant to finish the work ahead of time.(他们的打算是提前完成这项工作。)

7)I meant to call you but I forgot.(我原打算给你打电话的，但我忘记了。)
