1．【答案】A

【解析】do more than do sth．意为”不仅仅做某事，还要采取进一步的行动”，例如：Colleges and universities across the nation have decided to do more than talk about the rise in student cheating．对于学生作弊现象呈上升趋势，全国各地高校决定采取实际措施而不只是说说而已。Education does more than impart facts．教育并不仅仅是传授事实。If you want to succeed as a teacher，you’ll do more than be warm-hearted．要想成功地做一名教师，仅仅有一副热心肠是不够的。故正确答案是A项。

2．【答案】B

【解析】resent意为”憎恶，憎恨”，后跟非谓语动词时，要使用动名词，例如：Our cat resents having anyone sit in its chair．我们那只猫不喜欢任何人坐它的椅子。expect sb．to do sth．作”期待某人做某事”讲，例如：The officer expected his men to do their duty in the coming battle．军官要求部下在即将到来的战斗中尽职尽责。

3．【答案】C

【解析】complete的非谓语动词与the building project是逻辑动宾关系，因此这里要使用被动语态或过去分词。根据句子结构，我们可以看出be completed是一个将来的动作，因此，这里要使用不定式。例如：The interests to be considered should be the interests of all；the fame to be sought should be an everlasting fame．计利当计天下利，求名应求万世名。Merits and demerits to be recorded in history hinge on the decision made in one moment．千秋功罪，系于一念之间。

4．【答案】C

【解析】过去分词discussed表示动作的完成，与下文的next week矛盾，故A项错误。不定式可表示将来，而且此处discuss和questions具有逻辑上的动宾关系，应用被动语态，因此C项最合题意。D项虽是被动语态，但现在分词的被动式表示这一被动动作正在进行，与next week不符，故D项错误。

5．【答案】A

【解析】从句子结构可以看出，本句的前面部分是表示条件的状语，other things being equal是一个分词独立结构，可以作条件状语，例如：Other things being equal，a shorter statement is preferred．其他条件相同的情况下，优先选用较短的陈述。除在极个别的情况下，分词作状语时，应与句子的主语存在一定的逻辑关系(主谓或动宾关系)，否则该分词就应该有自己的逻辑主语或逻辑宾语来构成”名词或代词+分词”结构，即独立分词结构，独立分词结构一般可置于句首，也可置于句末；用来表示原因、时间、条件、方式或伴随情况等，例如：The experiment being over，the students began their discussion．做完实验，学生们开始讨论。Silver is the best conductor，copper following behind．银是最好的导体，铜次之。Were other things equal是虚拟语气条件从句，而后面的句子是陈述语气，To be equal to other things 是不定式，可以作目的状语，但不能作条件状语，Other things to be equal这样的结构不存在，因此，正确答案是A项。
