1.C
【句意】由于长时间不下雨,田野都干涸了。
【解析】语法结构——独立主格表原因。由句中关键词“for a long time长时间”的对应知空格处应该使用完成时态,故可以直接排除不是完成时态的B项“Having no rain”和D项“There being no rain”;再由这里两个句子之间存在因果关系知空格处只能使用独立主格来表示原因,由此知属于独立主格的C项“There having been no rain”正确。
2.D
【句意】购买一处新的住所和一辆全新的汽车连同渴望去海外旅游已成为新一代白领工人的抱负。
【解析】名词词义辨析。tenacity“韧性;固执;不屈不挠;黏性”;attraction“吸引;引力;吸引人的事物”;inspiration“灵感;鼓舞;吸气”;aspiration“渴望;抱负;吸气”。由关键词“along with their desire of holidays overseas连同渴望去海外旅游”的对应知答案选项与“desire渴望”意思相近,故D项“抱负”正确。
