Answer 1

第1题：
tacit cooperation 是一个词组 意思是【配合默契】。联系上下文也最适合这个含义。

第2题：
先把生词都弄明白 有一些不太好理解的生词。
lesser scholars这里并不是少数学者的意思 是知识更浅薄的学者的意思 所以我将其翻译成了"相比之下稍显逊色的学者"
daunted是 畏缩 的意思
emboldened是 使有勇气 的意思

然后再看 "Where lesser scholars would have been(daunted) by the vast collection of unpublished letters, rough drafts, and journals left by Henry James,"这个是前提 在因为广大的学者畏惧其工作量之庞大的前提下

"Leon Edel was emboldened by its discovery and began to plan an ambitious series of studied on the life and works of the novelist."
这个才是句子要说明的事件 一个叫Leon Edel的学者挺身而出 制定了一个有野心的计划

整句的翻译是：
在相比之下稍显逊色的学者因为Henry James的未发表的信件，草稿，和旅行日记的收藏过于庞大而退缩之时，Leon Edel因为它的探索性而勇气十足，开始设计关于调查小说作者生活和作品的一个充满野心的计划。

弄懂了词，和句子的意思，也就不难选出正确的答案噜。

Answer 2

1
Tacit可以表示 不言而喻的 心照不宣的
tacit cooperation表示配合默契 可以从correspondence这个词中看出
例句
Cooperation is a kind of tacit understanding.
合作就是一种默契。
Conclusion: The tacit cooperation between the doctors and the nurses, and ther…
结论：医生与护士的默契配合，严格执行无菌技术操作是手术成功的关键。
They were called the Golden Pair by their teammates because of their tacit cooperation.
他们因为默契十足被队友称作黄金搭档。
Was already the fourth cooperation two people, everywhere appears the tacit understanding.
已经是第四次合作的两人，处处显出默契。
If each part is tacit cooperation, Ningbo's clothing brand will develop fast and healthily.

2
would have been 是虚拟语气，它后面的事情没有发生，也就是说，如果没有Leon 被这发现激励而信心勃勃地开始工作，注意emboldened，很多学者都会放弃，也就是说很少学者会不放弃。
