考博英语每日一练(9.21)参考答案
1.D
【句意】通过观察桑蚕,一位名叫Chardonnetif的科学家意识到富含汁液的树叶必须通过很多微孔才能形成如丝绸一般纤细的线。
【解析】语法结构——状语从句。分析题干结构可知,“______ form fine, silk-like threads”这部分在原句中为状语从句,由此可排除选项B;选项A缺少主语;如果使用选项C中if引导的真实条件句,主句部分则需要用将来时态,故排除;选项D为as引导的时间状语从句,故答案选项为D。
2.A
【句意】大约4000家私营进口商、出口商和批发商被国有化后并入一家大型的政府垄断企业(即国家贸易公司)。
【解析】动词词义辨析。incorporate“包含;使并入”;incline“使倾斜;使倾向于”;resign“辞职;听任”;resort“诉诸;求助于;依靠”。由句中关键词“Some 4000 private importers, exporters and wholesalers大约4000家私营进口商、出口商和批发商”与“a huge government monopoly一家大型的政府垄断企业”的对应知“并入”符合语境,故A项正确。
