1.D【句意】相比当地的自由精神,这些最令人关注的新车可能更多地归功于这种雇佣一些有才华的人并允许他们工作的简单智慧
【解析】固定搭配。由固定搭配own to“归功于”可直接排除A项与B项;再由less在这里充当副词“较少地”来修饰动词owe知其应该放在owe的后面,由此知D项正确。
2.B
【句意】这个男孩从童话故事中学到了这一点,即起初看起来令人厌恶的、危险的人物能魔法般地变成非常乐于助人的朋友
【解析】形容词辨析题。benevolent“仁慈的;慈善的;亲切的”;repulsive“排斥的;令人厌恶的;击退的;冷淡的”;compulsive“强制的;强迫的”;imperative“不可避免的;紧急的;命令的”。由句中关键词“most helpful friend非常乐于助人的朋友”的对比,以及“threatening figure危险的人物”的修饰,可知“令人厌恶的”符合语境,由此知B项正确。
