1.A
【句意】查尔斯·惠勒的画经常突出机器锋利的边缘和几何形状。
【解析】动词词义辨析。highlight“ 突出；强调；使显著”；revive“使复兴；重新上演；使苏醒”；visualize“形象化；设想”；upgrade“提升；改良”。由句中关键词“paintings画”与“the sharp edges and geometrical shapes of machines机器锋利的边缘和几何形状”可知 “突出”符合语境，因此答案选A。
2.C
【句意】与其说海洋分割了世界，倒不如说它联合联合了世界；人们每天都要往返于其他大陆。
【解析】固定搭配。由固定搭配“not so much… as…与其说……倒不如说……”与关键词“people are going to and from the other continents every day人们每天都在往来于其它大陆”的对应知C项正确。
