【华慧考博】考博英语每日一练(12.12)参考答案
1.A【句意】尽管大多数的梦在表面上是自发地发生的,但是做梦活动却可能由外部影响引起。
【解析】副词词义辨析题。spontaneously“自然地;自发地;不由自主地”;simultaneously“同时地;一齐”;homogeneously“同性质地;同类地;单一的”;instantaneously“即刻;突如其来地”。由句中关键词“Although尽管”与“dream activity may be provoked by external influences做梦活动却可能由外部影响引起”的对应知“自发地”符合语境,故A项正确。
2.C
【句意】世界上数以千计的已知火山中绝大多数是休眠的。换句话说,它们是不活跃的。
【解析】形容词词义辨析。minor“较小的;次要的”;unpredictable“不可预测的;出乎意料的”;dormant“ 休眠的;静止的”;uncharted“未知的,图上未标明的”。根据关键词“volcanoes”,以及后文“In other words, they are inactive换句话说,它们是不活跃的”可知“休眠的”符合语境,故C项正确。
