【解析】

试题分析：

1.How long does it take to fly to Chengdu from Beijing?从……到……：from to；多长时间：how long；做某事花某人多长时间：It takes sb. some time to do sth，故译成：How long does it take to fly to Chengdu from Beijing?

2.They haven’t decided when to buy a house.强调是否决定的结果，句子用现在完成时态。故译成：They haven’t decided when to buy a house.

3.The cinema is a good place to relax after a hard day’s work.一个做某事的地方：a place to do sth, 辛勤一天的工作：a hard day’s work故译成：The cinema is a good place to relax after a hard day’s work.

4.That famous French writer has been dead for over three years.强调过去开始的动作、状态一直延续到现在，句子用现在完成时态。Die是一个非延续性的动作，不能与表示一段时间的状语for连用，要表达成be dead。故译成：That famous French writer has been dead for over three years.

5.When I arrived at the hotel at last, I was tired out.到达：arrive at, get to 或reach，最终：at last；筋疲力尽：tired out。故译成：When I arrived at the hotel at last, I was tired out.
