【华慧考博】考博英语每日一练(10.11)参考答案
1.B【句意】尽管经济衰退经常以至少连续两个季度的GDP(国内生产总值)下滑为特征,但是这不是一个固定的规则。
【解析】形容词词义辨析。falling“下降的;落下的”;declining“下滑的;衰退的;倾斜的”;fluctuating“波动的;变动的”;impending“即将发生的;迫切的;悬挂的”。由关键词“recession经济衰退”及“GDP国内生产总值”可知“下滑的”符合,故B项为正确答案。
2.C
【句意】直到很久以后,她才怀疑自己是否犯错了。
【解析】语法题—强调句。由“强调句的基本结构:it is (was)+被强调的部分+that+句子的其他成分”和“当含not until的句子强调时间状语时,必须将not until放在一起”知正确答案为C。
