Answer 1

【1】选B.however good it was
“however+形容词或副词+主语+动词”是高考英语经常涉及的一个考点,however 的意思是“无论多么”,用以引导让步状语从句.如：
however much he eats,he never gets fat.无论他吃多少,他都不发胖.
however hot it is,he will not take off his coat.无论多热,他都不会脱掉外套.
几点说明：
1.这类结构中的 however 也可换成 no matter how,但不能只换成 no matter.
2.有时however后可以没有形容词或副词,此时however 的意思是“无论用什么办法”“不管怎样”.如：
however you come,be sure to come early.不管你怎么来,一定要早来.
3.有时该结构中的主语和谓语可以有所省略.如：
He was of some help,however small.他总能帮些忙,不管多小的忙.
I refuse,however favorable the condition.不管条件多好,我都不接受.
第一句句末省略了 it is,第二句句末省略了 is.
【2】选D.as much time as you can
as +形容词+ a +单数名词+as结构
当as… as 中间有名词时,采用以下格式.
as +形容词+ a +单数名词+asas + many/much +名词+asThis is as good an example as the other is.
I can carry as much paper as you can.
