【解析】試題分析：本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。主要講述擁有興趣愛(ài)好的好處。

【1】考查上下文理解和推理判斷。根據(jù)上文Hobbies provide entertainment and a chance to continuously learn something new and develop a skill set.可知，愛(ài)好提供娛樂(lè)和繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)新東西發(fā)展新技能的機(jī)會(huì)，因此推斷此處講述愛(ài)好的益處，因此推斷E項(xiàng)“它們也提供社交和健康方面的益處”承接上文，為下文的展開(kāi)做鋪墊，點(diǎn)明文章的主旨。故選E。

【2】考查上下文理解。根據(jù)本段主題句Hobbies are praised as a key to stress reduction.和空格上文Becoming lost in the mental concentration or physical action which you are deeply interested in helps you shift focus from the parts of life that are stressful.可知，空格處是為主題句服務(wù)，講述愛(ài)好可以減少壓力，專(zhuān)注于喜歡的事物有助于人心情平靜，因此推斷D項(xiàng)“專(zhuān)注于喜歡的東西可以使心境平和”符合語(yǔ)境。故選D。

【3】考查段落大意。空格處為段落主題句。根據(jù)空格后的內(nèi)容可知，本段主要說(shuō)明了興趣愛(ài)好可以給人們提供一種成就感，空格下一句中的satisfaction和achieved為解題關(guān)鍵。故選B。

【4】考查上下文理解和判斷。本選項(xiàng)對(duì)主旨句Hobbies provide a sense of community when you meet other people who enjoy similar activities.“當(dāng)你遇到其他喜歡類(lèi)似活動(dòng)的人時(shí)，你的愛(ài)好會(huì)給你帶來(lái)一種集體感。”展開(kāi)說(shuō)明，說(shuō)明擁有某種愛(ài)好增加了和志趣相投的人交流互動(dòng)的機(jī)會(huì)，因此推斷F項(xiàng)“有愛(ài)好增加了與志同道合的人交流的機(jī)會(huì)�！狈�合語(yǔ)境。故選F。

【5】考查上下文理解和判斷�？瞻浊耙痪�For example,a tennis hobby developed at a young age can lead lo a career as a professional athlete one day.說(shuō)到小時(shí)候愛(ài)好網(wǎng)球有一天可能會(huì)成為職業(yè)網(wǎng)球運(yùn)動(dòng)員。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)后面的舉例可知一些興趣愛(ài)好會(huì)影響到你生活的其他方面，因此推斷C項(xiàng)“有些愛(ài)好會(huì)影響你生活的其他方面”符合語(yǔ)境。故選C。
