【华慧考博】考博英语每日一练(1.25)参考答案
1.D【句意】如果你的目标太笼统,那么你就应该将它们分解成子目标,以便你对每个子目标也有一个计划表。
【解析】固定搭配。由关键词“If your goals are general如果你的目标太笼统”和“into sub-goals分成子目标”的对应知这里指代“将笼统的目标化为子目标”,由此知道D项“pare…down把……分解成……”正确。另外,此题也可由空格后的介词“into”知A项后中的介词“for”或B项及C项中的介词“with”不正确。undertake“承担,保证;从事”;induct“引导;感应”;minimize“使减到最少;小看,极度轻视”。
2.C
【句意】为了让他的听众提问,这位市长被要求压缩自己的演讲时间。
【解析】动词词义辨析。constrain“驱使,强迫,束缚”;conduct“管理,引导”;condense“使浓缩,使压缩,使简洁”;converge“使汇聚”。由关键词“to allow his audience to raise questions为了让他的听众提问”知“压缩演讲时间”符合语境,由此知C项正确。
