【华慧考博】考博英语每日一练(1.23)参考答案
1.D【句意】通过几个环保协会的努力,美国水牛不再处于变成一种灭绝物种的危险中。
【解析】同形词辨析(相同词根)。instinct“本能,直觉;天性”;没有mistinct一词;distinct“明显的;独特的”;extinct“灭绝的,绝种的;熄灭的”。由句中关键词“no longer in danger of becoming an ______ species“不再处于变成一种______物种的危险中”的对应知“灭绝的”符合语境,因此答案选D。
2.D
【句意】尽管政府保证在发放签证方面会迫切要求与邻国互惠,但是抗议却在继续。
【解析】名词辨析题。show-off“爱炫耀的人;爱卖弄的人”;payoff“报酬;发工资;结算”;intimacy“亲密;亲昵行为;隐私”;reciprocity“相互作用;交换;交流;互惠”。由关键词“in the issuing of visas在发放签证上”的对应知“互惠”符合,由此知D项正确。
