答案與解析：
1.B
儘管我在海上，也有許多事情要觀察要了解，因爲這是我第一次航海。本題考察考生根據句意判斷對連詞的恰當使用。原句提到的是my first voyage, 因此C）不合適，what with 表示“由於”，“因爲”，不能用於該句，而despite不是連詞是介詞，所以選擇B）
2.D
儘管他今年的記錄讓人失望，但是我仍然認爲他是我們隊最優秀的運動員。本題考察考生對副詞的掌握。however比較常用，表示“無論如何，然而”； otherwise是“否則”，therefore表因果，譯爲“因此，所以”，只有nonetheless 符合本句含義，除了表示“雖然如此，但是”，還相當於still，表示“仍然”
3.C
公司破產時他沒有失去信心，相反地，他卻全力以赴一切從頭開始。本題測試考生對習慣用語address oneself to sth./ doing sth. 的'用法的掌握。address oneself to sth./ doing sth.表示“全力以赴做某事”或“全神貫注做某事”，是習慣用語，考生應掌握其意義及用法
4.B
我們正在給主任寫一封有關在上述地址進行修理工作的信。本題主要測試考生對習慣表達的理解和應用能力。with the exception of意爲“將……除外”；with reference to表示“有關，關於”；而with the purpose of 是指“爲了”；with a view to則是“打算要，有意要”。因此根據句意選擇答案B。 ?
5.D
角色處理上的變化是莎士比亞作爲一位劇作家成長的明顯標誌。本題是詞語辨析題，主要考察考生是否對index的用法有全面瞭解。index (to) 表示“標誌，表徵”，如Manner of walking gives an index to one’s character（行路的姿態是人的性格的表徵）。其他三個選項（image—圖象，映像；label—標籤，商標；signal—信號）均不適合本句句意。
