　　1. of failure to fulfill its promise to improve urban traffic conditions/ of failing to fulfill its promise to improve urban traffic conditions

　　解析：本题考查对accuse的用法及短语fulfill ones promise to...的掌握。accuse指责、控告常用于accuse sb. of sth./ doing sth.的结构，所以was accused of之后用failure和failing都可以。实现......的承诺用fulfill ones promise to表示，to后接动词原形。

　　2. can we adapt to the society quickly after we graduate

　　解析：本题考查对倒装句、adapt的用法以及after引导的时间状语从句的掌握。only引起的状语位于句首时，句子须部分倒装。本题中要将情态动词can提前。adapt作适应解时常用于adapt to sth.的结构。在when，until，after，before，as soon as，once，the moment/the minute，the day引导的时间状语从句中，常常用一般现在时代替一般将来时。

　　3. had I lit the candle than it was put out

　　解析：本题考查对句型no sooner...than...及短语put out的掌握。no sooner...than...表示刚...就...，一...就...，但只用于过去时：主句通常用过去完成时，从句通常用一般过去时。No sooner 位于句首时，主句须部分倒装。Put out意为熄灭。

　　4. had no choice but to surrender on the spot

　　解析：本题考查对固定结构have no choice but to do及短语on the spot的掌握。have no choice but to do意为除...之外别无选择，注意不要忽略to。短语on the spot意为当场。本句时态应为一般过去时。

　　5. my boss has generously agreed to write off my debt in return for certain services

　　解析：本题主要考查对一些短语的掌握。in return for表示作为对......的回报或报答;write off表示勾销，注销。注意本句在整个句中是充当宾语的成分，故介词短语in return for...最好放到句子的结尾，不要按照其中文的语序直译。
