Answer 1

A
试题分析：考查定语从句：第一空是考查定语从句，先行词是the reason定语从句中缺少宾语，用that引导定语从句，第二空考查介词be hard on对…苛刻，句意：这就是他为工作粗心在会议上解释的原因吗？实际上，我们认为他是一个人对自己尤其对工作苛刻的人。选A。
考点：考查定语从句和词组
点评：考查定语从句一要看先行词，而要看从句的成分，如果缺少主宾表，要用that或which如果缺少状语，要用关系副词where，when或why。关键的定语从句的动词。这题虽然先行词是the reason，但因为定语从句缺少宾语，所以只能用that或which，再由后面的介词，判断正确的选项。
