1．【答案】A

【解析】unlikely意为”不大可能的(not likely to happen)”，表示说话人认为某事将来不大可能发生，或者认为不大可能成为事实，由它引出的主语从句的谓语动词应用将来时，例如：That he will refuse the offer is unlikely．他拒绝这项建议的可能性不大。It is unlikely that enough workers will be found if there is no substantial improvement in salaries and working conditions．如果工资不大幅度增加，工作条件得不到改善．就不大可能找到足够的工人。所以，该题只能选A项。

2．【答案】B

【解析】be entitled to是固定用法，意思是”有权(做)……．有资格(早受)……”，to是介词，后面跟名词或名词性成分。故A项和C项错误。又因为动词respect和句子主语是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以此处需要被动的动名词形式，故B项为正确答案。

3．【答案】C

【解析】动名词作主语，表示某个一般性的动作，或表示说话者的亲身经历。例如：Thinking is the talking of the soul with itself．思想是灵魂在同自己交谈。Learning in old age is like writing on sand；learning in youth is like engraving on stone．年老时学习就像在沙上写字，年轻时学习就像在石上刻字。

4．【答案】C

【解析】该题考查动词have的用法。have后面既可跟不带to的动词不定式作宾补，又可跟现在分词作宾补，还可跟过去分词作宾补，但意义不同，例如：I had him fill out a form．我叫他填了一张表(不带to的动词不定式作宾补强调动作的全过程)。He had us laughing all through the meal．他使我们在吃饭过程中自始至终笑个不停(现在分词作宾补强调分词的动作正在进行)。I really must have my watch repaired．我真得修修表了(过去分词作宾补表示”使……被做”)。根据题意，只有C项是正确答案。

5．【答案】D

【解析】当”no sooner…than”结构中no sooner位于句首时，主句要倒装，由此可以将A排除。hardly和scarcely都要和连词when连用，由此可将B项和C项排除。正确答案为D项，例如：It was not until many centuries later that the ancient Greeks placed the science of map-making on a sound footing．直到几个世纪后，古希腊人才把地图绘制学置于坚实的基础之上。
