答案：

1、答案：B

解析：本题测试语义逻辑衔接。“selected”意为“挑选”;“prepared”意为“准备”;“obliged”意为“迫使，责成”;“pleased”意为“高兴地，满足地”，前一句“人们不敢说”，本句中由“but”一词可推出意思与上句相反，即“Cochran准备说”，所以选B.

2、答案：D

解析：本题测试词义辨析。“unique”意为“唯一的，独特的”;“particular”意为“特殊的，独特的”;“special”意为“特别的，特殊的”;“rare”意为“稀罕的，珍贵的”，rare bird意为“稀有的人”，空格相关意思是“只有Cochra准备说”，而且“rare bird”是固定搭配,所以选D
