答案解析
1.[b]【解析】情态动词。can't have+过去分词表示对过去事实的否定推测。因此答案选b项。句意：“是一个男人接的电话，我猜想是她的丈夫。”“不可能，她丈夫已经去世好几年了。”
2.[d]【解析】动词词组。其中，die of意为“死于（疾病、饥寒等）”；die off意为“先后死去，一一死去”；die out意为“死光，绝种”；die down意为“（骚动，流言等）平息，消失”。因此答案选d项。句意：别担心，留言很快就会平息的。
3.[d]【解析】固定搭配。be familiar to...意为“为……所熟悉”。本题中familiar to作a work的后置定语。因此答案选d项。句意：对所有中国文学专业的学生来说，《阿q正传》是一部非常熟悉的作品。
4.[b]【解析】虚拟语气。lest+从句，从句用（should）+动词原形，因此答案选b项。句意：约翰把发动机仔细检查了一遍，以免它在路上出毛病。
5.[c]【解析】独立主格作状语。其构成为：名词/代词+分词短语/介词短语。因此答案选c项。句意：玛丽从来没来过这里，我得去火车站接她。
