参考解析：
1.【答案】B. 本句能与than搭配使用的选项只有A和B;而no more…than意为“不过，仅仅，同……一样不”与题意不符;只有选项B. no sooner…than(一……就)是正确答案。
2.【答案】A. for引导了三个并列的分词结构作状语:identifying，analyzing environmental degradation以及crafting workable solutions(构思可行的解决办法)。
3.【答案】D. involve(常与in连用);因为在此involve in表示“所涉及到的，包括”，含有被动的含义，因此在此作定语时应用过去分词，放在所修饰的词后，相当于一个定语从句(professionals who are involved in.)。
4.【答案】B. provide在此表示:供给，提供;后面一般与for或with连用;例:They provide us with food.他们供给我们食物。We provided food for the hungry children.我们为饥饿的孩子们提供食物。
5.【答案】C. 在此range指范围，规模;一般与of连用，表示:……的范围;在本句中指:人口数量和分布的整体范围。
6.【答案】A. A. luminous发光的，明亮的; B. luminary发光体(如日、月等天体); C. lugubrious(尤指故意装出来的)可怜的，悲惨的，悲哀的; D. lubricable可以涂油的，可润滑的。
7.【答案】C. weaken削弱，(使)变弱;A. relieve减轻，接触，援救;B. deduct扣除，演绎;C. minimize将……减到最少;D. rid(与of连用)摆脱; 除去; 例:to rid the town of rats消灭城里的老鼠。
8.【答案】C. framework框架，结构;A. shell壳，外形; B. container容器，集装箱; C. structure结构，构造，建筑物;D. part部分，局部，零件，角色;本句讲的是大脑的构成。
