5. Would you care to wait here, sir, _________ the manager can see you?
A. when B. since C. until D. while
如果撇开句中的插入成分 sir，句子则为 Would you care to wait here _________ the manager can see you? 根据句意，显然应填 until。
6. He believes in himself, _________, in my opinion, is of the most important.
A. that B. which C. what D. as
【分析】此题应选B，句中的 in my opinion 为插入成分，如果将其撇开，句子则为 He believes in himself, _________ is of the most important. 空格处显然应填 which，用以引导一个非限制性的定语从句，句意为“他很自信，我认为这是最重要的”。
7. By the window sits his wife, who, dressed in black, _________ like my aunt.
A. look B. looking C. looked D. looks
答案选D，但B和C可能被误选。此句的基本结构是 His wife sits by the window，由于句子主语 his wife 带有自己较复杂的修饰语，所以采用了倒装语序(By the window sits his wife…)。另一方面，由于 his wife 后接的定语从句 who looks like my aunt中插入了一个过去分词短语(dressed in black)，所以有的同学没有意识到 looks 是定语从句的谓语，而考虑到选 looked 与前面的过去分词 dressed 保持一致。
8. The first part, it seems, _________ better written than the other parts.
A. being B. to be C. is D. 不填
答案选C，其中的 it seems 为插入成分，句子的基本结构是 The first part is better written than the other parts. 请看以下类例：
(1) The cross-talk, I think, _________ both interesting and instructive.
A. being B. to be C. is D. 不填
(2) Life, in his opinion, _________ nothing but a dream.
A. being B. to be C. is D. 不填
(3) That dictionary, you know, _________ meant chiefly for Chinese students.
A. being B. to be C. is D. 不填
(4) The audience, more than one thousand of them, _________ up and applauded the singer.
A. standing B. to stand C. stood D. to be standing
答案均选C，其中的 I think, in his opinion, you know, more than one thousand of them 等均为插入语，做题时可以将其撇开不管。
