1. C此句含有让步状语从句whether…or…“不管是……还是……”，采用倒装后省略连词，用原形动词，所以只能选C。

2. Cwhen引导时间从句：“纳粹上台的时候,他被赶出德国……”then不是连词, 用在句中不符合句法要求; 如果选B, 应为and then; before填入句中句意不通。

3. D句中要求一个能够引导of介词宾语从句的连接词, 所以只有what具有这个功能。

4. A前后两个句子是对比关系: increased和barely growing, 而even if表示让步“即使”; after表示时间;now that表示原因, 故只有whereas正确。

5. Cthough 表示让步, 意为“虽然”，全句的意思是: “他的长相挺好, 身体虽然瘦小, 但有点儿运动员的样子。”somehow“不知怎么”、“不知什么原因”。as 可以引导让步从句,但句子结构要倒装, 不用于省略句, 因此在此处不合适。somewhat“有几分”、“有点儿”, 没有让步意味。
