答案及解析：
1．【答案】C
【解析】offset“抵消，弥补”；A项overturn“打翻；颠覆”；B项overtake“赶上，超过”；D项oppress“压迫，挤压”。
2. 【答案】D
【解析】 先行词person后有两个定语从句, 第一个从句省略了关系代词whom. 因为, whom作从句中met的宾语,可以省略.第二个从句who could do it. who在从句中作主语,不可省略。
3．【答案】C
【解析】let off“放过，宽恕(使不受惩罚)；允许不干；排放”；let down“使(某人)失望；放下，降低”；let alone“不打扰，不惊动，更别提……”；let out“释放，放走；发出”。
4．【答案】A
【解析】tentative“试验性的，尝试的，暂定的”；local“地方的，当地的”； decisive“决定性的”；kidding“戏弄的，玩笑的”。题中所填的词修饰的是agreement，后文中对这个协议做了说明：真正的还未达成。显然所填的词应当与“真正的”表达的意思相反。故本题答案应为A。
5．【答案】A
【解析】 granted“批准，拨款”； allocated“赞助”； financed“资助”；sponsored“举办”。
