【解析】

试题分析：

1. arrive 为非延续性动词，故应用一般过去时。故正确答案为 arrived。

2. before/earlier 表示“在...之前”。故正确答案为 before/earlier。

3. it 和空后名词短语，可知此处为 “with + 名词短语”的结构，修饰名词短语 choking smog 需用 it 的形容词性物主代词形式 its。故正确答案为 its。

4. 考查定语从句。漓江被许多艺术家绘画。此处考查定语从句，先行词为Li River，在从句中作主语。

5. 考查名词的复数形式。漓江被画在如此多的中国绘画中。painting为可数名词，注意用复数形式。
