1.B
【句意】当讨论以务实严谨的方式进行，且从幻想的高处被带到无可动摇的事实平地时，这通常是一件好事。
【解析】名词辨析题。ridiculousness“荒谬；滑稽”；fantasy“幻想；白日梦；幻觉”；audacity“大胆；厚颜无耻”；mountaintop“山顶”。分析题干结构可知“the heights of _____”与“the level ground of hard fact”对应，而四个选项中与“hard fact无可动摇的事实”对应的为选项B。
2.C
【句意】因为它们都有一定的体积，所以液体像固体一样。
【解析】语法—状语从句。根据题干的前半部分“Liquids are like solids液体像固体一样”可推知后半句应该是解释原因，再由“in that引导从句时与because的意思相同”知C项“in that因为”正确。
