【解析】这篇文章提供了在最短的时间内提高你的英语语言能力的最好的五种方法。再加上经常练习，你的英语会有显著的改善。
【1】D
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据上一句“This article delivers the top five methods of improving your English language skill” 这篇文章提供了在最短的时间内提高你的英语语言能力，可知说的就是D项（经常练习，你会明显改善），而且D项有词的复现，故D项符合题意。
【2】E
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本小题所在段的小标题为“Get a dictionary”有一本词典，分析选项可知E项有词及意思的复现（pick yourself up a pocket dictionary），句意 ：你应该买一本随身携带的袖珍字典，因此E项符合本段的内容，故选E项。
【3】A
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本段叙述的是“语法书不仅有助于语法，而且有助于正确使用标点符号，甚至可以提高你的演讲或写作的清晰度。”分析选项可知A项（找一本语法书）不仅语意相符，而且有词的复现，如语法书。故A项作为本段的小标题合适。所以选A项。
【4】G
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。本段的大意是Learn to use words in the correct order（学会正确地使用单词）。根据上一句“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” 为了能像当地人说的那样流利地说英语，你必须学习英语句子中正确的单词顺序。因此要学习剖析英语句子，分析选项可知G项（学习的最好方法是学习和剖析英语句子）符合题意，故选G项。
【5】F
考查对上下文的理解及推理判断能力。根据上一句“Probably the single best technique for learning a new language is immersing yourself in the language. ”学习一门新语言最好的方法就是沉浸在语言中。即就是要说这种语言。分析选项可知F项（如果你强迫自己说这种语言，你无疑会提高。）符合题意，故选F项。
该题型对学生的考察能力总体从两个方面来考察；第一，把握整篇文章的布局和逻辑层次关系。第二把握微观信息间关联性。（即空格前后句间关系。 该题型选项大致可分为：主旨概括句（文章整体内容）；过渡性句子（文章结构）和注释性句子（上下文逻辑意义）三类。
正确的解题思路分为两步：
（1）首当其冲看首段，跳过空格快速通读全篇，了解文章大意。
（2）精读空格前后两句，利用各种衔接手段选择正确的选项填入空格。由于七选五空出的是整个句子，而这些句子与句子之间，必然有一种联系，因此我们可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性，从而选择正确的答案。比如第2题和第3题。
（3）看选项，找出与空前空后句中心词同义，近义或相关性的词语。实现关键词的对接，先易后难，各个突破。此外要通过句子的逻辑关系或句子的标点来判断该句在文章的位置。
正确选项的特点：复现，包括同义反复，反义反复。在本文中的第2，3和4小题中都有词的复现。
