考博英语每日一练（1.15）参考答案

1.A

【句意】他的意见很保守；他不希望形势发生太大变化。

【解析】形容词词义辨析。conservative“保守的”；flexible“灵活的；柔韧的，可弯曲的”；sophisticated“精密的；久经世故的”；radical“激进的；根本的”。由句中关键词“not want the situation to change”的对应可知“保守的”符合语境，故A项正确。

2.B

【句意】这位经理只是因为他的秘书迟到了十分钟就发脾气。

【解析】固定搭配。由句中关键词“just because his secretary was ten minutes late只是因为他的秘书迟到了10分钟”的对应知可构成固定搭配“lose one’s temper发脾气”的B项（即这里构成lose his temper）正确。mood“心情；情绪；语气”；mind“头脑；心思；记忆力”；passion“激情；热情”。
