参考答案及解析：

1.答案：B。

Hardly…when是固定句型，意思是“刚刚…就…”;hardly放在句首时后面用倒装结构;从句中用一般过去时，主句中用过去完成时。类似的词组还有scarcely…when和no sooner…than。

2.答案：A。

be thought to be意思是“被认为是”。

3.答案：D。

‘many a+单数名词’的意义与many+复数名词相同，但后面的谓语动词用单数形式，据at present(目前)可知，用一般现在时即可。

4.答案：A。

本句陈述的是过去的事实，所以用一般过去时态。

5.答案：B。

介词at表示原因、对象，此句的意思是“听到这个消息，他脸色变得苍白”。
