1.D

【句意】她告诉自己的父母，她已决定和他结婚，无论他是王子或是贫民。

【解析】语法结构——让步状语从句中的倒装。让步状语从句的倒装有两种情况：1）被强调的部分+as/though+主语+其它部分；2）be+主语+or连接的两个表语，此句型相当于whether…or…引导的让步从句。由此可知，此处D项“be he”为正确选项，此句也可表达成“whether he is a prince or a pauper”.

2.C

【句意】为这所大学任命一位新校长相当有必要。

【解析】语法结构——虚拟语气。由“在important/necessary/imperative/desirable/urgent等形容词构成的‘It +be动词+形容词+that从句’中从句的谓语动词一般为should（可以省略）+动词原形”可知C项“be appointed”正确。
