【华慧考博】考博英语每日一练（11.8）参考答案
1.B【句意】父母们经常面临这样的进退两难：一方面得做自己认为对孩子成长有益的事情；另一方面又得忍受孩子毫无拘束的吵闹和破坏行为。
【解析】名词词义辨析。paradox“悖论，自相矛盾（的说法）”；dilemma“困境，进退两难”；junction“连接，接合，交叉点”；premise“前提，假定”。由关键信息“doing what they felt was good”和“what could stand”可推知“进退两难”符合，由此知B项正确。
2.D
【句意】一些生物学家认为，每一种特定的人类特征应该是逐步地且不规律地出现的，这些科学家也因此认为在物种进化过程中很难孤立明确的（人类特征的）重要阶段。
【解析】名词词义辨析题。fluctuation“起伏，波动”；manifestation“表现；显示；示威运动”；predisposition“倾向；癖性；（易患某种病的）体质”；milestone“ 里程碑，划时代的事件；重要阶段”。由句中关键词“each specifically human trait must have arisen gradually and erratically每一种特定的人类特征应该是逐步地且不规律地出现的”、“it is therefore difficult to isolate definite…因此很难孤立明确的……”以及“in the evolution of species物种进化过程中”的对应知“重要阶段”符合语境，故D项正。
