试题分析：
小题1:He used to work at a local school.
本句重点在于used to do sth过去常常做某事；
小题2: A former classmate of mine wrote me a letter, telling me his thought of returning to the native land/motherland.
名词thought表示想法，后面的不定式短语of…是对thought进行的解释说明。
小题3: When (he was) asked why he was involved in the study, he kept silence (silent).
本句考查的是状语从句的省略的话题，当状语从句的主语和主句的主语一致的时候，可以把状语从句的主语和be一起省略。
小题4: If he is to win the gold medal at the next Olympics, he needs to improve his technique.
本题考查的be to do sth表示将来时的用法。相当于should, must。
小题5:She stared at the exit through which Mayor had disappeared and then looked around to see how others reacted  to his absence.
本句考查了动词短语stare at…盯着…看的用法。
