一、这两道题都涉及到副词whereby.whereby意思是“凭借…/ 通过…”,它有下面的两种含义:

1、方式副词,例如:

Whereby shall we know her? 我们靠什么认出她呢?
Whereby will he do it? 他会如何做?
I whereby saw that he was angry. 由此我看出他生气了.

2、关系副词(= by which),引导定语从句,例如:

We need to devise some sort of system whereby people can liaise with each other. 我们须想出一套方法,凭此大家能够互相联络.
There is no other way whereby we can cross the river. 我们没有别的办法过河.

二、搞清楚上面的用法,下面的题目就会迎刃而解.

第一题:Watermelons have been cultivated for more than 4000 years, (and whereby thumping them) to test for ripeness has an equally long history.

【选择】D、and thumping them
【解析】前面提到“西瓜已经种植了4000多年”,后面说“凭借这一点可知,拍打习惯判断成熟程度有同样长的历史”,前后是并列关系,whereby应该是方式副词,而不是关系副词.连词and 前面用逗号表示语义的转折,不用逗号表示的承接.

第二题:The name "transferware" (comes from a nineteenth-century technique for which) a pattern is engraved onto a copper roll, printed on tissue paper, and transferred onto earthware dishes.

【选择】C、comes from a nineteenth-century technique whereby
【解析】本句的结构如下:
主句:The name "transferware" comes from a nineteenth-century technique——transferware 这个名称来自十九世纪的技术
定语从句:whereby a pattern is engraved onto a copper roll, printed on tissue paper, and transferred onto earthware dishes. 借助这种技术,花样先被雕刻到铜滚上,然后印到薄纸,最后复制到陶瓷盘上.

细致语法不研究很多年,先解释一下,
第一个,副词,凭借,thumping就是敲击喽,用敲击的办法判断西瓜是否成熟的历史也一样长久
第二个,只能排除了, 应该是by which,或者by using the technique貌似这样
whereby
conj.
In accordance with which; by or through which.
