【分析】
本题为英语词汇与语法运用题，需结合语境、固定搭配及常识选择恰当词汇。解题思路如下：
1. 第(1)题：根据地理常识，黄河长度不及长江，同级比较的否定结构为not as...as，故选not as long as；
2. 第(2)题：山脉与河流对气候的影响均重要，同级比较肯定结构为as...as，故选as important as；
3. 第(3)题：both后直接接名词复数，both of后需接带定冠词的名词复数，此处无定冠词，故选Both；
4. 第(4)题：根据常识，几乎所有河流流入大海，all表肯定的“全部”，none表否定，故选all；
5. 第(5)题：固定搭配neither...nor...表“两者都不”，用于两者之间，none用于三者及以上，此处为两座山，故选Neither。
【解析】
(1) 考查同级比较结构。根据地理常识，黄河不如长江长，同级比较的否定形式为“not as + 形容词原级 + as”，故填not as long as；
(2) 考查同级比较结构。山脉与河流对气候的影响同等重要，同级比较肯定形式为“as + 形容词原级 + as”，故填as important as；
(3) 考查代词用法。both后直接接名词复数，both of后需接“the + 名词复数”，此处空格后直接为两个名词，无定冠词，故填Both；
(4) 考查代词用法。根据常识，几乎所有河流流入大海，all表示“三者及以上都”，none表否定，故填all；
(5) 考查固定搭配。neither...nor...是固定搭配，意为“两者都不”，用于两者之间；none用于三者及以上的否定，此处为两座山，故填Neither。
【答案】
(1) not as long as (2) as important as (3) Both (4) all (5) Neither
【知识点】
形容词同级比较、代词用法、固定搭配
【点评】
