答案以及解析
一、单项选择
1.答案：B
解析：考查介词的用法。句意:我的家乡昆明以鲜花著名。不管你什么时候去,它们都会吸引你的目光。be famous for以……而出名;be famous as作为……出名。根据句意可知选B。
2.答案：B
解析：句意：春分后，白天变得越来越长。空后为形容词，空处在句中作表语，表示“变得”，故B项符合题意。
3.答案：D
解析：—Jane，我发现一把雨伞。它是你的吗 —不是，它是Mike的。架子上第三把雨伞是我的。umbrella的发音以元音音素开头，且第一空表示泛指，所以用an；third是序数词，third one在句子中特指“第三把伞”，所以第二空用the。故选D。
4.答案：C
解析：空处修饰形容词比较级，选项中只有much有此用法。
5.答案：C
