1．【答案】D

【解析】as可用来引导时间状语从句、方式状语从句和让步状语从句，分别意为”当……时候，随着……”，”正如”，”虽然，尽管”，该词引导让步状语从句时，从句要位于主句前，而且从句内容要倒装，例如：Successful as he is，he is not proud．他虽然成功了，却不骄傲。provided用来引导条件状语从句，意为”只要”，例如：I will lend you my book provided that you keep it clean．只要不把书搞脏，我会把书借给你。since常用来引导时间状语从句和原因状语从句，意为”自从；因为”，例如：He has written once since he left．他离去后曾来过一封信。连词while不但可以引导时间状语从句，而且还可以引导让步状语从句，作”然而”讲，例如：English and French are living languages while Latin is dead．英语和法语是现在都有人说的语言，而拉丁语现在却没有人说了。

2．【答案】B

【解析】本题考查的是as引导的让步状语从句。动词publish动作的对象是从句的主语，所以需要用过去分词与was构成被动语态，例如：Thoroughly cleaned as it was，the room didn’t look tidy．房间虽然彻底打扫了，看起来却并不整洁。A项是现在分词的被动式，表示该动作正在进行或与谓语动词表示的动作同时发生，例如：Being earilestly invited to dinner，she couldn’t very well refuse．有人热情邀请她参加宴会，她不好意思拒绝。C项是现在分词的主动形式，D项是动词不定式，而不定式作状语一般表示动作的目的，一般是将要发生的动作。由此可见，只有B项是正确答案，而A项、C项和D项皆不正确。

3．【答案】D

【解析】这四个选项都可作副词，但directly还可以用作连词，相当于as soon as，作”一……就……，，讲，例如：Directly I had done it，I knew I had made a mistake. 我刚做完这件事，就立即意识到我错了。很显然，promptly (敏捷地，迅速地)，presently (一会儿)和 quickly (迅速地)均不符合题意。

4．【答案】D

【解析】根据题意我们可以看出，本句考查的是对”watch TV”和”go to the cinema”这两件事的喜欢程度，而表示比较的句子中必须有形容词或副词的比较级，本句中的more是程度副词much的比较级。B项和C项均没有比较级more，故这两项可以排除。又因为more than前后的比较项应为同类项，例如：John spends more time watching TV than working．约翰花在看电视上的时间比花在工作上的时间多。She is more a doctor than a nurse．与其说她是一个护士，不如说她是名医生。The shoes are more comfortable than pretty．这双鞋与其说漂亮，不如说穿着舒服。所以，A项中虽然有比较级more，但比较级前后不是同类项相比，故A项也错误。D项中既有比较级，其前后又是同类项相比，符合语法。

5．【答案】D

【解析】在”it is (high) time that”结构中，从句使用一般过去式，表示虚拟语气，意为”早该……了”，例如：It is high time that you got a wife and settled down．你早该找个妻子安个家了。It is high time that they were taught a lesson．早就该教训他们一顿了。
