1.B
【句意】这所大学最初创建于1872年，随后被临时关闭了几年，然后在1879年再次被建立。
【解析】动词词义辨析。found（find的过去分词）“被找到；被发现”；founded（found的过去分词）“被创立”；organized（organize的过去分词）“被组织；被整理”；formed（form的过去分词）“由……形成”。由关键信息“established被建立”的对应知这里指代“大学被创立”，故B项正确。

2.B
【句意】当心理学家进行一项有关人类思维的综合实验时，他随机地选人并问其问题。
【解析】词组辨析。at length“最终”；at random“随机地”；in essence“本质上，实质上”；in bulk“大批，大量”。由题干关键词“does a general experiment about the human mind进行一项有关人类思维的综合实验”可知“随机地”更符合语境，故B项正确。
