【华慧考博】考博英语每日一练（9.18）参考答案
1.A【句意】英语的使用范围是如此广泛，以至于3.45亿人将其当成第一语言使用，而另外的4亿人将其当成第二语言使用。
【解析】名词词义辨析题。sweep“打扫；扫除；范围”；range“范围；幅度；山脉”；power“力量；电力；政权，势力”；vigor“活力，精力”；expansion“膨胀；扩张；发展”。由句中关键词“so wide 如此广泛的”和“345 million people use English as their first language3.45亿人将英语当成第一语言使用”知“sweep”在这里有“范围”的意思，故A选项“范围”正确。
2.D
【句意】但是诸如这些礼物不能由法官或最温和的政府奖给每个人。
【解析】形容词词义辨析题。tough“坚强的，困难的；强硬的；粗暴的”；demanding“要求高的；苛刻的，费时的”；diverse“不同的；多种多样的；变化多的”；benign“和蔼的，温和的；良性的”。由句中关键词“cannot be awarded to everybody不能奖给每个人”、“either by judges or由法官或”的对应知“温和的”符合语境，故D项正确。
