【解析】這篇文章提供了在最短的時間內提高你的英語語言能力的最好的五種方法。再加上經常練習，你的英語會有顯著的改善。

【1】D

考查對上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。根據上一句“This article delivers the top five methods of improving your English language skill” 這篇文章提供了在最短的時間內提高你的英語語言能力，可知說的就是D項（經常練習，你會明顯改善），而且D項有詞的復現(xiàn)，故D項符合題意。

【2】E

考查對上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。本小題所在段的小標題為“Get a dictionary”有一本詞典，分析選項可知E項有詞及意思的復現(xiàn)（pick yourself up a pocket dictionary），句意 ：你應該買一本隨身攜帶的袖珍字典，因此E項符合本段的內容，故選E項。

【3】A

考查對上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。本段敘述的是“語法書不僅有助于語法，而且有助于正確使用標點符號，甚至可以提高你的演講或寫作的清晰度�！狈治鲞x項可知A項（找一本語法書）不僅語意相符，而且有詞的復現(xiàn)，如語法書。故A項作為本段的小標題合適。所以選A項。

【4】G

考查對上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。本段的大意是Learn to use words in the correct order（學會正確地使用單詞）。根據上一句“in order to speak English fluently as a native would speak, you are going to have to learn the proper order of words in English sentences” 為了能像當?shù)厝苏f的那樣流利地說英語，你必須學習英語句子中正確的單詞順序。因此要學習剖析英語句子，分析選項可知G項（學習的最好方法是學習和剖析英語句子）符合題意，故選G項。

【5】F

考查對上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。根據上一句“Probably the single best technique for learning a new language is immersing yourself in the language. ”學習一門新語言最好的方法就是沉浸在語言中。即就是要說這種語言。分析選項可知F項（如果你強迫自己說這種語言，你無疑會提高。）符合題意，故選F項。

該題型對學生的考察能力總體從兩個方面來考察；第一，把握整篇文章的布局和邏輯層次關系。第二把握微觀信息間關聯(lián)性。（即空格前后句間關系。 該題型選項大致可分為：主旨概括句（文章整體內容）；過渡性句子（文章結構）和注釋性句子（上下文邏輯意義）三類。

正確的解題思路分為兩步：

（1）首當其沖看首段，跳過空格快速通讀全篇，了解文章大意。

（2）精讀空格前后兩句，利用各種銜接手段選擇正確的選項填入空格。由于七選五空出的是整個句子，而這些句子與句子之間，必然有一種聯(lián)系，因此我們可以通過選項中某個名詞或動詞跟空前或空后的一致性或者相關性來確定這兩個句子之間有一種關聯(lián)性，從而選擇正確的答案。比如第2題和第3題。

（3）看選項，找出與空前空后句中心詞同義，近義或相關性的詞語。實現(xiàn)關鍵詞的對接，先易后難，各個突破。此外要通過句子的邏輯關系或句子的標點來判斷該句在文章的位置。

正確選項的特點：復現(xiàn)，包括同義反復，反義反復。在本文中的第2，3和4小題中都有詞的復現(xiàn)。
