1. at the meeting, i suggested the manager ___________(采用这项新技术).

2. in brief, the government is called to _____________________(为经济萧条作出解释).

答案解析:

1.答案: (should) adopt/use this new technique

详解:

考查虚拟语气: 主句中suggested跟的宾语从句的谓语要用虚拟语气, 常为“(should) 动同原形”形式。表示“命令、愿望、要求、想法”的动词后接宾语从句时，从句通常用虚拟语气，这些动词有 ask，insist,advise, maintain, decide， recommend, request, urge，desire, demand, deserve, move, order, require, suggest, vote等。

考查短语: "采用技术"可译为adopt/use technique。

2.答案: account for the economic depression

详解:

考查高频词汇: 句中的“解释”指“为......提供原因或理由”，用account for, 也可用explain。

考查固定短语: “经济萧条”译为economic depression。
