　　1. the couple found it impossible to make ends meet

　　解析：本题考查对常见句型find it+adj.+to do sth.及短语make ends meet的掌握。Find it impossible to do sth.意为发现......是不可能的，it是形式宾语，impossible为宾语补足语，动词不定式是真正的宾语。短语make ends meet是使收支相抵，勉强维持生计之意。

　　2. when taken according to the direction/instruction

　　解析：本题考查对分词短语作状语及词组according to的掌握。本句中分词短语作状语表示条件，相当于if the drug is taken...，分词的逻辑主语the drug与take之间是被动关系，所以应用过去分词短语作状语。词组according to意为依照、按照。

　　3. can be attributed to the greed for money

　　解析：本题考查对短语attribute to及常见搭配the greed for的掌握。attribute to意为归咎于，可表示归功于，也可表示归咎于，crime与attribute是动宾关系，因此谓语要用被动语态。对......的贪婪用the greed for...表示。

　　4. Finding it difficult to adapt to the climate there

　　解析：本题考查分词短语作状语及短语adapt to的用法。句子主语he与动词发现是主谓关系，故应用现在分词短语作状语表示原因。常见句型find it difficult to do sth.表示发现很难做某事，短语adapt to意为适应。

　　5. to have no access to the health service

　　解析：本题考查对不定式和have access to固定搭配的掌握。空格处在句中作主语补足语，不定式变成被动语态以后，都必须加上to。have access to为固定搭配，表示有接近的机会。
