【解析】

本文是议论文。文章中作者提出了几条关于提高沟通技巧的建议。

【1】

此题线索是词汇复现。文章首句提到“拥有良好的沟通技巧是很重要的”；选项G意思为：下面有一些方法，你可以用来提高你的沟通技巧。选项G中“improve your communication skills”和首句中的“good communication skills”语义相符，其中“communication skills”是原词复现。选项G是承上启下。故选G项。

【2】

此题线索是代词指代和逻辑。选项E意思为：它也是我们用来建立和保持关系的技能。选项E中it指代上一句中的“communication”，其中also表示递进关系。E选项“它也是我们用来建立和保持关系的技能。”切题。故选E项。

【3】

此题线索是词汇复现。选项B意思为：这些动作示意包括手和面部。空前一句提到“你可以用动作示意来帮助”，选项B选项“这些手势包括手和脸。”是对空前一句的具体说明，其中“gestures”是原词复现。故选B项。

【4】

分析文章结构，第二、三段都有小标题，而且小标题都是动名词短语的形式；该空位于段落开头，应该是该段的小标题；下文提到“人们会通过你的词汇量来判断你的能力”，多次提到“vocabulary”“new words”，因此该段是关于在交谈时要使用恰当的词汇和语言。选项A意思为：用你的语言，可以作为该段的小标题。故选A项。

【5】

空前一句中提到“人们会通过你的词汇量来判断你的能力”；选项D意思为：如果你不知道如何说一个词，就不要用它。选项D是针对空前一句中的问题提出的建议，是顺承空前一句的话题。故选D项。
