Q30:

Under high pressure and intense heat, graphite, the most stable form of pure carbon, changes into the substance commonly referred to as diamond and remaining this way whether or not the heat and pressure are removed.

1. remaining this way whether or not
2. remaining like that even as
3. remaining as such whether or not
4. remains in this way although
5. remains thus even when

答案D，我选E。理由thus比in this way正式. even when在这里意思也比although好。although表示“尽管”类似even though. 而这里觉得应该是“即使”。

thus是从而吧

这里感觉不能用

Longman:

thus / ðʌs / formal

1.[sentence adverb] as a result of something that you have just mentioned
Most of the evidence was destroyed in the fire. Thus it would be almost impossible to prove him guilty.

2.in this manner or way
They diluted the drug, thus reducing its effectiveness.

解释可以看出thus和in this way的意思没有差别但更正式。
