1.A

考查动词词义辨析。句意：作为一个丑角演员，他表演魔术，唱歌，讲有关愚蠢的故事来娱乐孩子们。

A. entertain使欢乐，娱乐；B. encounter遭遇，偶然碰到；C. embarrass使尴尬；D. emerge浮现，暴露。根据前文“he does tricks, sings songs and tells silly stories”可知，他逗孩子开心。故选A项。

2.B

考查非谓语动词。句意：根据发表在《科学》杂志上的一项研究，海洋和其他水道声音的变化影响着许多海洋动物。

此处为非谓语动词，动词publish和前文名词study之间是逻辑被动关系，故用其过去分词作后置定语。故选B项。
