【华慧考博】考博英语每日一练（10.9）参考答案
1.A
【句意】今天早上的这场交通事故的原因是一个司机的车失控了。
【解析】表语从句的连接词辨析。分析可知空白处需填一个表语从句的连接词；空后的内容是对主语the reason内容的说明，且从句中不缺少成分，故应选A项，that在从句中不作任何成分，没有任何意义。
2.D
【句意】你同意猴子是人类的祖先的说法吗？
【解析】名词词义辨析。offspring“后代，子孙”；successor“继承者；接班人；接替的事物”；breeder“饲养员；繁殖者；起因”；predecessor“前任；前辈；祖先”。由句中关键词“the saying that the monkey was the…猴子是……的说法”与“of the human race人类的”的对应知“祖先”符合语境，故D项正确。
