【华慧考博】考博英语每日一练(2.8)参考答案
1.D
【句意】这位教授给学生们布置了一篇研究论文,其目的在于使他们熟悉学术研究的方法。
【解析】语法结构——定语从句。由“Whose+名词=the+名词+of+which (whom)或of+which (whom)+the +名词”知题干中的the purpose与of which可构成的“the purpose of which is to…”相当于“whose purpose is to…”,故答案选项为D项“of which”。
2.B
【句意】一些人想在星期天购物,因为他们希望在市场上获得很好的特价商品。
【解析】名词词义辨析。battery(其复数为batteries)“电池”;bargain“特价商品;协议 (尤指正式商业合同)”;basket“篮子”;barrel“桶;枪管;炮管”。由句中关键词“do shopping”、“pick up获得”与“in the market在市场上”的对应知“特价商品”符合语境,故B项正确。
