参考答案
1.D
【句意】在这所大学里数学是一门必修课程,这意味着不管数学多么无趣,你都必须学它。
【解析】形容词词义辨析。obligatory“必修的;(按法律、规定等)必须的,强制的”;tedious“冗长乏味的;沉闷的”;optional“可选择的;选修的”;weary“疲倦的;令人厌烦的”;compulsory“必修的;(因法律或规则而)必须的;义务的”。由句中关键词“course课程”与“have to take this course必须学该课程”的对应可推知“obligatory”在这里有“必修的”意思,故D项“必修的”正确。
2.D
【句意】大多数医生不赞成一种含有大量脂肪的日常饮食。
【解析】动词词义辨析。criticize“批评”,及物动词,可直接后跟反对的内容;object“反对”,不及物动词,一般需跟介词to后再跟反对的内容;oppose“反对”,及物动词,可直接后跟反对的内容;frown“皱眉”,frown on“不赞成”。由句中关键词“doctors医生”与“a diet which contains a lot of fat一种含有大量脂肪的日常饮食”的对应和词义辨析知可构成“frown on不赞成”的D项正确。
