答案：
1.【译文】不到两周，我就要毕业了。
【解释】时态题。考查将来完成时。将来完成时表示在某个时间或这个时间之前完成的工作。In less than two weeks是典型的表将来的时间状语。故最佳答案为D。
2.【译文】如果当初我们不同意石油公司建这个造纸厂，现在就不会有水污染的问题了。
【解释】考查虚拟语气。本句是交错时态句。前半句是对过去事实的虚拟，用过去完成时。后半句是对现在事实的虚拟，用would do 结构。故答案为A。
3.【译文】美国革命被军事历史学家认为是一场英国永远不该输掉的战争。
【解释】考查情态动词辨析。Should have done表示“过去本该做但事实上未做”，而should do并未体现“过去本该做”的意思。Would have done表示“(过去如果发生某事)就会做某事，但事实上未做”。故答案为C。
4.【译文】尽管我很想留在这里，但我真的要回家了。
【解释】考连接词辨析。as引导让步状语从句时句子要倒装，本句状语much提前。 In spite of 和despite后面接名词或名词性短语。故答案为A。
5.【译文】Benjamin West是18世纪美国艺术家，他对英国画家的影响同对美国艺术家的影响一样大。
【解释】考查比较结构。as much as表程度间的同级比较。so much as只用于否定句。C、D选项是比较级，意思不对。故答案为B。
