答案详解

1.[C]【解析】动词词组。此题考查动词break与介（副）词搭配成词组时，词组的不同含义。break down意为“损坏，抛锚”；break out意为“突然发生，爆发”；break off意为“中止，停下”；break up意为“分开，终止，结束”；break up与break off的区别可用下面的例子说明：He broke off (speaking) to answer the telephone.(他停下来去接电话。) Their marriage finally broke up.(他们的婚姻最终结束了。)所以，此句应选C项。句意：由于听众的高声抗议，汤姆不得不中途停止演讲。

2.[B]【解析】动词词义辨析。subscribe意为“订阅，订购（书籍）”，一般与介词to连用。prescribe意为“开处方，开药方”；describe意为“描述，描写”；transcribe意为“抄写，刊印，誊写”。因此，B项为正确答案。句意：迈克的英语老师订了一份日报和一份周刊杂志。
