答案与解析：
1．【答案】D
【解析】both作同位语，谓语动词是系动词，both应放在系动词之后。all，both作主语同位语时，位于行为动词之前，be动词之后。
2. 【答案】B
【解析】A项：“提高”；B项：“提拔，晋升(职位)，促进；C项：“加高，增加，使出色”；D项：“增加”。
3．【答案】D
【解析】四个选项的意思分别是subside”下沉”；idealize”理想化”；initiate”发起”；sustain”支撑，撑住”。译文：建筑物倒塌是因为它的地基不足以支撑整个建筑物的重量。所以正确答案是D。
4．【答案】C
【解析】四项选择都有”说”的意思，但只有talk sb．into表示”说服……做……”。
5．【答案】B
【解析】本题中间的but一词要求考生找出前一分句中的cheap的反义词。但四个选
项中，可以首先排除A项和D项，因为A项high的反义词是low，D项overpaid的反义词是underpaid。B项和C项都能表示”昂贵”的意思，但C项的dear常跟price，shop，rate等搭配，所以B项为本题正确答案。
