答案：

1. we hand in our research report(s)
解析：本句意为：教授要求我们在周三前交研究报告。由require引导的that宾语从句在表示指令性含义的时候应该用虚拟语气，即：require that sb. (should) do sth.通常should可以省略。required用过去时态是个干扰项，如果考生没有注意到虚拟语气的话可能就会把需填补部分的动词“交”错译成handed in. 类似的动词还有：advise，ask，beg，command，decide，decree，demand，desire，determine，insist，move（建议），order，prefer（宁愿），propose，recommend，request，require，suggest（建议），urge（极力主张），vote等。类似的形容词有：advisable，appropriate，better，best，desirable，essential，fitting，imperative，important，impossible，incredible，insistent，natural，necessary，obligatory，preferable，proper，ridiculous，strange，surprising，urgent，vital等。句末的by Wednesday表示在某个时间之前，这虽然不是本题考点，但考生应该看到by Wednesday和on Wednesday的区别。

2. he was fired by the company

3. arose from careless driving

4. Hitler was armed to the teeth

5. to find ways to improve the quality
