【华慧考博】考博英语每日一练(10.14)参考答案
1.B【句意】贸易限制上的分歧可能严重危害两国间的关系。
【解析】动词词义辨析。tumble“使摔倒,使滚翻,弄乱”;jeopardize“危害,使陷危地”;manipulate“操纵,篡改”;intimidate“恐吓,威胁,胁迫”。由关键词“disagreement”及relations between the two countries“两国间的关系”知“危害”符合语境;由此知B项正确。
2.B
【句意】尽管美国的院校在当代学术论坛上有无可置疑的声望,但是它们的历史却比不上英国院校的历史。
【解析】形容词词义辨析。curricular“课程的”;contemporary“当代的,同时代的”;communicative“交际的,爱说话的,健谈的”;conceptual“概念上的”。由关键信息“Although”表示转折及“their history was not comparable with that of the British ones.”的对应知“当代的”符合,故B项正确。
