1．【答案】D

【解析】regard sb．／sth．as是固定搭配，介词as后可跟名词、动名词、过去分词、形容词等，例如：He is regarded as a haughty man because of his reserve. 他因为沉默寡言，被认为是个傲慢无礼的人。He regards her as being without principles．他认为她没有原则。

2．【答案】A

【解析】如果选B，则主句中没有谓语动词；如选D项，则会有两个从句，而没有主句。因此，B项和D项都错误。如果选择A项或C项，直接引语部分构成一个主从复合句，根据句意，主句表示的动作发生在从句之后，因此，主句中的谓语动词也应使用一般过去时，例如：The greedy old woman ate and ate until she was full up．这个贪婪的老太婆不停地吃啊吃，一直吃到很饱为止。另外，需要注意的是，当否定词或含有否定意义的词组位于句首作状语时，主谓颠倒。常见的否定词和具有否定意义的词组有：at no time，by no means，few，hardly，in neither case，in no case，in no time，in no way，in vain，little，neither，never，no more,no sooner，nor，not，not once，not only，not until，on no account，rarely，scarcely，seldom，still less，under no condition，under no circumstances等，例如：Never in my life have I seen such a wonderful place．我一生中从来

没见过如此美丽的地方。Not only was Churchill a statesman，but also a great writer．丘吉尔不但是一位政治家，而且也是一位伟大的作家。

3．【答案】A

【解析】在与advise，ask，beg，decide，demand，deserve，desire，insist，intend．maintain，move，order，propose，recommend，request，require，suggest，urge等表示意见、建议、命令、请求、要求、劝告、愿望、需要等含义的与动词相关的名词性从句中，谓语要使用动词原形或”should+动词原形”，又如：She decided that she(should)go to Cleveland and see him．她决定到克里夫兰去看他。又如：It is desired that we(should)take all these factors into consideration．人们希望我们能够把所有这些因素都考虑进去。

4．【答案】C

【解析】虚拟语气用在条件句中表示对过去的假设，从句使用过去完成时，主句使用“would(should，could，might)+have done”，例如：If the facts had been collected earlier, we would have had more time to study them．如果这些材料早些时候搜集到，我们就会有更多的时间对其进行研究了。If I had answered the policemen seriously．I wouId not have been arrested．如果我认真地回答警察的问题，就不会被逮捕了。

5．【答案】D

【解析】本句的内容是对旧金山和洛杉矶两地夏天气温的对比。两个分句之间用but来连接，表示前后意思的转折。前面分句中的usually是表示频度的副词，意为”经常，通常”，而B项中的scarcely和C项中的hardly均是表示程度的副词，因此，B项和C项都不是正确答案。与usually相对应的频度副词是rarely，这些表示频度的副词一般放在句中的情态动词、助动词或动词be之后，主要动词之前。题目中后面的分句省略了cool，因此，正确答案应该是D项。
