  1.D
【句意】尽管她给予自己的音乐作品非常传统的名称，但是它们却包含着不同寻常的材料组合，而这些材料包括格里高利圣咏、亚洲的音阶模式和节奏、电子乐和鸟鸣。
【分析】形容词词义辨析题。exotic“异国的；外来的；异国情调的”；eccentric“古怪的，反常的”；imaginative“虚构的；富于想象的”；conventional“传统的；常见的；惯例的”。由句中关键词“Although尽管”与“they incorporate unusual combinations of materials它们（即她的音乐作品）包含着不同寻常的材料组合”的对应知“传统的”符合语境，故D项正确。
 
2.C
【句意】你后悔花500美元买这条项链吗？不！我乐意为它支付两倍的价钱。
【解析】语法——比较级的倍数。倍数应该放在as+形容词+as之前；“两倍”应该用“twice”。而且句中的比较级是修饰“钱”，故形容词应该用“much”。综合而知，正确答案是C项。
