1.B
【句意】人们将坚持认为看电视使孩子的想象力减弱。
【解析】同形词辨析（相似拼写）。blunder“犯愚蠢错误；误入（危险境地或困境）”；blunt“使迟钝；使减弱”；blush“脸红；感到惭愧”；blend“混合”。由句中关键词“watching TV看电视”与“children’s imaginations孩子的现象力”的对应知“使减弱”符合语境，故B项正确。
2.D
【句意】当有人暗示自己犯了一个错误时，史密斯先生变得非常愤愤不平。
【解析】形容词词义辨析。ingenious“有独创性的；精制的；心灵手巧的”；empirical“经验主义的；完全根据经验的”；objective“客观的，目标的”；indignant“愤愤不平的；愤怒的”。由关键信息“it was suggested that he had made a mistake”知“愤愤不平的”更符合语境，由此知D项正确。
