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但彩照人。

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，定语从句必需用that引导，而不消which。

请看下面的句子：
1) This is the most beautiful place (that) I have ever visited. （这是我游览过的最斑斓的地方。

）
2) This is the most serious problem (that) we have ever met. （这是我们遇到过的最严重的问题。

）
3) They are the richest people (that are) living in this area. （他们是住在这一地区的最富有的人。

）
本句中的hardest意思为”坚硬的”“坚固的”，而不是”困难的”。

请看下面的句子：
1) This nut is as hard as rock. （这果子硬得像岩石。

）
2) He found it hard to make friends. （他觉得交伴侣很困难。

）。
