Answer 1

本文主要介绍一本提供不同种类英文阅读文体，并能检验读者阅读能力的书的四个部分:讯息、人物、地点和事物。

1. A上句提到想学好英文，阅读非常重要；而下句又提到将要介绍的这本书提供了不同种类的英文。所以推断此处应选A."想从阅读中尽可能学到更多的东西，就需要读不同种类的英文"。这是承接上下文的一句话。

2. E从后文"There is. .. There is..."可知，这里是在举例说明。

E选项刚好是举例，而且也是"there is"句型，与前文构成排比。

3. D后两句举出两个正式英语和非正式英语的例子，与D选项后半句符合。故选D.

4. G从后句可看出这个部分主要关于例如"衣服"、"电脑"等一类物品的"描述"，所以G选项最恰当。

5. C总结全文作者的态度。前文说作者自己很喜欢写这本书，因此他也希望读者能喜欢使用这本书。
