【华慧考博】考博英语每日一练(1.2)参考答案
1.C【句意】他上周提出的将高速公路延伸到市中心的提议在委员会审议中被否决了。
【解析】词组辨析题。cut through“刺穿;抄近路走过”;bring(其过去分词为brought)about“导致,引发;使掉头”;throw(其过去分词为thrown)out“扔掉;伸出;说出;否决;突出”;make(其过去分词为made)up“组成;补足;化妆;编造”。填入的动词词组的过去分词形式构成被动语态,其动作承受者是proposal“提议”,由句中关键词“proposal提议”与“in committee在委员会审议中”可知“否决”符合语境,因此答案选C。
2.D
【句意】尽管约翰没有做什么值得骄傲的事,但是受到奉承的他却开始挺挺胸炫耀。
【解析】同形词辨析(相似拼写)。应填入一个动词的过去分词担当伴随状语修饰主句John began to swell out his chest and show off“约翰开始挺胸炫耀”,再由句中关键词“although he had done nothing to be proud of“尽管他(即约翰)没有做什么值得骄傲的事”和“show off炫耀”的对应知D项“受到奉承的”正确。favored“有利的;受到优待的;受到喜爱的”;frustrated“ 失意的,挫败的;泄气的”;英语中没有“frauded”这个单词。
