1.A
【句意】尽管先前的丑闻，但是一贯出色的赖斯女士却仅仅希望这个插曲不会损害慈善事业。
【解析】动词词义辨析。taint“污染；腐蚀；损害”；enhance“提高；加强；增加”；sprain“扭伤”；sponsor“赞助；发起”。由关键词“in spite of the previous scandals尽管先前的丑闻”的对应知这里指代“不会损害慈善”，由此知A项“损害”正确。
2.D
【句意】因为没有更多的话可说，这个男人起身说了再见后就离开了这个房间。
【解析】语法结构——独立主格there being表示原因。由题干中“nothing more to say没有更多的话可说”与“the man got to his feet, said goodbye and left the room.这个男人站起来在说了再见后就离开了这个房间”之间存在因果关系知四个选项中属于独立主格的D项“There being”正确。
