【华慧考博】考博英语每日一练(2.27)参考答案
1.A【句意】这艘船的发电机出了故障,水泵的运转不得不用手动方式来替代机械方式。
【解析】副词词义辨析。manually“手工地,手动地”;artificially“人工地,人为地,不自然地”;automatically“自动地,机械地,无意识地”;synthetically“综合地,合成地”。由关键词generator broke down“发电机出了故障”及instead of mechanically“代替机械地”知“手动地”符合语境,由此知A项正确。
2.D
【句意】约翰不是任意地挑选的,他被选为这项工作的候选人是因为他最有经验。
【解析】副词辨析题。deliberately“ 故意地;谨慎地;慎重地”;alternatively“非此即彼;二者择一地”;momentously“重大地”;arbitrarily“任意地;随意地;武断地”。由句中关键词“he was chosen for the job because he had the most experience他被选为这项工作的候选人是因为他最有经验”的对应知“任意地”符合语境,故D项正确。
