5.C hold up “举起;支撑”;keep up “维持，继续”;take up “拿起，开始从事，占据(时间或者空间)”;put up “举起”。此处take up“占据(时间或者空间)”。
6.A 本句考查虚拟语气及时态。由上句would have told可知是对过去事情的虚拟，但but后是指“过去我非常忙”，是事实，不用虚拟。
7.D 表示与过去事实相反的假设，从句谓语要用“had+过去分词”形式，而主句则用“would have+过去分词”形式。
8.A anyway “不管怎样”;however “然而”;thus “这样，因此”; therefore “因此，所以”。选项A符合句意。
9.B have power over sb. “对某人有支配权”;第二空为定语从句，先行词为anything，在从句中作want的宾语。
10.C 考查副词比较句型的用法。句意为：他的英语的确讲得好，但当然比不上当地人。在否定句中用so…as…。
11.C “和……失去联系”固定短语有：lose contact with/out of contact with ;再根据时间状语for several years，应该使用延续性动词，故答案应为C。
12.C 考查动词短语辨析。account for意为“解释……的原因”。
13.D 考查非谓语动词。be accustomed to中的to是介词，后接动名词的否定结构not talking。
14.B 考查it的用法。it作形式宾语，that引导宾语从句。
15.C 考查动词辨析。adjust (=arrange，put in order or agreement; make suitable or convenient for use) 强调，调节，使适应。本句中adjust是及物动词，意为“调节”。

22.B 根据下文“我”帮他送衣服这一事实可推断“我”同意了，故选B。
