1. D【句意】完成整个建设需要二百万元
【解析】在这里what引导一个主语从句，what既起引导作用，又在从句中作谓语动词 need的宾语，如：What I want to know is why energy, unlike matter, is not made up of molecules and atoms. 我想要知道的是，为什么能量不像物质那样是由分子和原子组成的。因此D是正确选择。尽管that也可引导主语从句，但不能在主语从句中做成分，所以B和 C错误。关系代词what不能用来引导定语从问，所以A也不正确。
2. C【句意】尽管我们想要帮助她，Sara却拒绝了。
【解析】for在这里意为“虽然，尽管”，相当于 in spite of, notwithstanding，如：For all his efforts, he didn't succeed.虽然他尽了力，但还是没有成功。at，in 和on则没有这种意义和用法。
3. D【句意】尽管存在很多困难，她还是自己完成了这项工作。
【解析】despite意为“尽管，不顾”，如： He came to the meeting despite his serious illness. 他尽管病得很厉害，还是来参加了会议。in spite要和of连用，意思与 despite相同，如上句可改为： He came to the meeting in spite of his serious illness. as for意为“至于……，就……而言”，如：As for this kind of rare metal, it will be further studied.至于这种稀有金属，要做进一步的研究。besides意为“除……之外”，如。Besides English he can speak French and German.除了英语他还会说法语和德语。由此可见只有D为正确答案。
4. B【句意】尽管在这个时间出版，他的作品还是受到了关注。
【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，如：Thoroughly cleaned as it was, the room didn't look tidy. 房间虽然给彻底打扫了，但看起来并不整洁。选项A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，如;Being earnestly 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。选项C是现在分词的主动形式，选项D是动词不定式，而不定式做状话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是正确答案，而A，C和D旨不正确。
5. D【句意】在后天我们走之前他们可以赶过来的，我们会举行一次晚宴。
【解析】本句是一个虚拟条件句，主句的谓语用的是“should + 动词原形”，表示与现在事实相反或与将来事实可能相反。根据句子结构可以看出，从句部分是倒装句，省略了连接词if，由于句子中的时间状语是the day after tomorrow，所以从句动词应该用与将来事实可能相反的虚拟语气，即“should(were to)+ 动词原形”，如：Were they to act like that again, we should criticize them severely.要是他们再那样做，我们就要严厉地批评他们。由此可见，D是正确答案。
