参考答案：
1.正确答案：B
答案解析：句子意思为“科学家能注意到大多数人注意不到的许多事物”。
2.正确答案：C
答案解析：空格前后句子的意思是相反的，由此可知空格处应该用一个表示转折的词。in spite of是介词短语，后面不能跟从句;despite是介词，也不能引导从句。in that意思是“既然，因为”，不符合句意。所以只有C项正确。句意：她通过了考试，虽然她没怎么用功。
3.正确答案：B
答案解析：句中用了but，表示转折，所以A答案错误。either表示“(两个中的)一个”，也不符合句意。neither表示两者都不，符合句意。none是指三者以上的人或物，而句子中说的是the twins，是两个人，所以也不正确。句意：父亲希望这对双胞胎成为医生，但他们没有一人喜欢学医。
4.正确答案：D
答案解析：as if引导的是与现在事实相反的虚拟。
5.正确答案：B
答案解析：at the price of是固定搭配，意思是：以…的价钱。
