【解析】

本文是说明文。作者认为终身学习会给我们带来很多好处，文章介绍了关于终身学习者的几种表现。

【1】

该段首句提到“学习对于过上充实丰富的生活是很重要的。”选项B意思为：要发现终身学习的好处，请继续往下读吧。选项B中“lifelong learning”和该段首句的learning词汇复现。选项B是承上启下。故选B项。

【2】

此题线索是代词指代和逻辑。空前一句提到“那些学习不间断的人经常会在亚马逊上浏览书籍。” 选项E意思为：此外，他们喜欢去当地的图书馆或书店。选项E中的they指代空前一句中的“People with non-stop learning”，其中moreover表示递进关系。故选E项。

【3】

分析文章结构，文章第二和第四段首句都是小标题，也是该段的主题句，因此此空也是该段的小标题；该段下文中提到“在课间花时间写下一些问题。如果你正在学习商业课程，你可以询问如何将这些材料应用到你的职业目标中去。”该段是关于终身学习的人在学习过程中善于提问。选项C意思为：当他们学习课程的时候，他们会花时间问问题。选项C可以作为该段的小标题。故选C项。

【4】

空前一句提到“如果在别人面前问问题让你不自在，还有其他选择。”选项G意思为：你可以通过电子邮件发送问题或要求预约深入讨论此事。选项G是对空前一句中“there are other options.”的进一步说明，是顺承空前一句的话题。故选G项。

该段小标题是“他们为了赚钱而学习”；选项D意思为：继续教育对维持你的职业发展是至关重要的。空后一句提到“终身学习者把他们的教育看作是一种投资”。下文举出项目管理专业人员的例子，说明继续教育对于职业发展的重要性。由此可知，该段是关于继续教育对于未来职业发展的作用。故选D项。
