3．A【解析】试题分析：考查固定句式。句式such...that...“如此……以至于……”；such修饰名词或名词短语，本句中weather是一个不可数名词，不能用a修饰，排除B、C项，D项不能引导结果状语从句。故A正确。考点：考查固定句式
4．D 【解析】试题分析：考查形容词及名词。形容词experienced意为“有经验的”，通常修饰人。experience作为“经验”是不可数名词，作为“经历”是可数名词。第二空前有much修饰，说明横线上应该是不可数名词。句意：这位有经验的老师在教英语方面很有经验。故D正确。考点：考查形容词及名词
5．B 【解析】试题分析：考查名词。A. attention关注；B. respect尊重；C. struggle斗争，挣扎；D. request请求。句意：就我们所知，Professor Wang是一位有学问的、善良的人，所以当我们遇见他时我们表示出我们对他的尊敬。故选B。考点：考查名词
