1.A【句意】除了她的工资外,她还从投资中获得附带收益。
【解析】形容词辨析题。subsidiary“附属的;辅助的;补贴的;附带的”;subjective“主观的;个人的”;accidental“意外的;偶然的”;supervisory“监督的”。由关键词“In addition to her salary除了她的工资外”和“investments投资”知“附带的”符合,由此知A项正确。
2.A
【句意】计算机模拟表明原始的盘古大陆(Pangaea)岛屿的气温在一年中常常波动,这逐渐削弱了古生物学家们对该岛屿上气候稳定的假设。
【分析】动词辨析题。undermine“渐渐破坏;逐渐削弱”;confirm“确认;证实”;bolster“ 支持;支撑”;challenge“向……挑战;对……质疑”。由句中关键词“Paleontologists’ assumptions about the equable nature of the climate on the primeval island of Pangaea古生物学家们对原始的盘古大陆(Pangaea)岛屿上气候稳定的假设”与“computer simulations indicating that the island’s temperatures tended to fluctuate during the course of a year计算机模拟表明原始的盘古大陆(Pangaea)岛屿的气温在一年中常常波动”的对应知“逐渐削弱”更符合语境,应该选择A。
