考博英语每日一练（9.7）参考答案
1.C
【句意】小海龟一出生就必须能够照料自己。
【解析】固定搭配。四个选项中A项和D项的搭配表达不正确，故排除。B项和C项的意思都是“一……就……”。但是，在no sooner than的句式中，一般用倒装句，而且主句用过去完成时，than后面的从句用一般过去式，而as soon as 无需倒装和时态特殊要求。因此，根据句子的时态以及句子的语序可知C项是正确答案。
2.D
【句意】美国大学的课程以更灵活的模式被安排，而且许多校园内的工作是留给学生的。
【解析】名词词义辨析。scale“规模；范围；等级；比例尺”；rank“职位；级别”；grade“等级；成绩”；pattern“图案；模式”。由句中关键词“classes are often arranged in more flexible…课程以更灵活的……被安排”的对应知“模式”符合语境，故D项正确。
