答案详解

1.[B]【解析】ever一般与完成时连用，主句的时态为一般现在时，根据一致原则，从句的时态只能是现在完成时。

2.[C]【解析】本句是一个错综时间条件句，条件从句表示的动作和主句表示的动作所发生的时间是不一致的，从句动作表示与过去相反，主句动作表示与现在相反。

3.[C]【解析】whom引导非限制性定语从句，并在从句中担当宾语成分。

4.[B]【解析】动词不定式作定语，与其所修饰的词有动宾关系。如果该不定式是不及物动词，其后应跟有合适的介词。

5.[C]【解析】在比较级的句子中，所比较的对象需在同一范围内。本句中比较的是不同地区的“the climate”，第二个climate后面由于有in any other area，习惯上省略。
