【华慧考博】考博英语每日一练（11.21）参考答案
1.B
【句意】包括处方药在内的很多商品由联邦政府管理。然而，州政府却有允许受损害的消费者去起诉生产厂家的法律。
【解析】动词词义辨析题。sue“起诉；请求”；complain“抱怨；投诉”；charge“使充电；指责；对……索费；控告”；execute“实行；执行；处死”；punish“惩罚；严厉对待”。由关键词“injured consumers受损害的消费者”的对应知sue在这里有“起诉”的意思，故B选项“控告”正确。
2.A
【句意】由于我的裤子太长，所以我要求裁缝对其稍作改动。
【解析】词组、固定搭配。应填入一个可数名词和make构成短语“make a small ______”且要与介词短语to my trousers连用。由关键信息because they were too long“因为它们太长”可知构成“make a small alteration to...对……稍作改动”的A项正确。variation“变化；[生物] 变异，变种”；revision“修正；修改”；change“变化；找回的零钱”。
