【华慧考博】考博英语每日一练(1.17)参考答案
1.A【句意】尽管她将斗牛一事视为严肃的事情,但在用绘画形式表现它时,她并没有让敬意遏制自己的奇思异想。。
【解析】动词辨析题。suppress“抑制;镇压;废止”;inspire“激发;产生;使生灵感”;satisfy“满足;说服”;provoke“激怒;煽动;惹起”。由关键词“As serious as she is about the bullfight in the court尽管她将斗牛一事视为严肃的事情”及“not allow respect没有让敬意的态度”的对应知“抑制”符合语境,故A项正确。
2.D
【句意】尽管历史学家曾经坚持认为科学不同于其他事业,但是他们却已认识到科学实际上与特定历史时期的价值观、社会担当和思想传统是交织在一起的。
【分析】词组辨析题。各选项与be动词可分别构成be dependent on“依赖于;依靠”;be tantamount to“无异于;相当于”;be ancillary to“对……是有帮助的/有辅助性的”;be distinct from“与……不同”。由句中关键词“Whereas尽管”与“they have come to realize that science is actually intertwined with the values, social assumptions, and intellectual traditions of a particular historical period他们已认识到科学实际上与特定历史时期的价值观、社会担当和思想传统是交织在一起的” 的对应可推知这里指代“尽管历史学家曾经坚持认为科学不同于其他事业”,故D项“与……不同”正确。
