【5】The lights have been on for the whole day.

【解析】

试题分析：

【1】It took them twelve hours and a half to fly from Shanghai to Canada 12个半小时：twelve hours and a half 从……到……：from…to…，做某事花某人多长时间：It takes sb. some time to do sth；故译成：It took them twelve hours and a half to fly from Shanghai to Canada

【2】Has your cousin decided what to do with these old books?已经决定，说明句子用现在完成时态；对付，处理：do with。故译成：Has your cousin decided what to do with these old books?

【3】We haven’t met for many years, but send emails from time to time.多年不见，强调过去发生的动作状语一直延续到现在，用现在完成时态；偶尔发生的动作用一般现在时态。偶尔：from time to time。故译成：We haven’t met for many years, but send emails from time to time.

【4】My shoes are the same size as my sister’s.……和……一样，the same…as…。故译成：My shoes are the same size as my sister’s.。

【5】The lights have been on for the whole day.强调“开了一天”的结果，用现在完成时态，一整天：the whole day。与for短语连用，不能用非延续性动词turn on，可以用be on故译成：The lights have been on for the whole day.
