【解析】

这是一篇说明文。滑水是一项令人兴奋的水上运动，可以有很多乐趣。这需要一点耐心去学习，但一旦你学会了，滑水是一项你可以享受的运动，只要你有船和足够的平坦水域。文章就滑水需要准备的用品和如何开始滑水进行了说明。

【1】

结合后文Every water skier needs water skis and they differ depending on the size of the skier and the experience level of the skier. Of course, no one can water ski alone ,so you will need to find at least two people to go with you on your water skiing adventure.可知每个滑水运动员都需要滑水板，不同的滑水板取决于运动员的体型和经验水平。当然，没有人可以独自滑水，所以你将需要至少两个人和你一起去你的滑水冒险。以及最后一句After you have the boat , the people ,and the skis, you will also need a water skiing cable and a life jacket.可知在你有了船、人和滑水板之后，你还需要一根滑水缆绳和一件救生衣。由此可知，本段是在说明你要滑水之前需要准备的用品。故F选项“在你开始滑水之前，有一些你需要的用品”符合上下文语境，故选F。

【2】

根据后文After you have the boat , the people ,and the skis, you will also need a water skiing cable and a life jacket.可知在你有了船、人和滑水板之后，你还需要一根滑水缆绳和一件救生衣。由此可知，上文提到了滑水板和人，那么本句是在说明需要一艘船。故A选项“当然，你需要一艘船”符合上下文语境，故选A。

【3】

根据后文The observer rides in the boat, but watches the water skier for any signals and helps the driver know when to start and stop.可知观察者坐在船上，观察滑水者的任何信号，帮助驾驶员知道何时开始和停止。由此可知，第一次滑水需要带两个助手，一个驾驶一个观察。故G选项“在你的两个助手中，你需要一个驾船，一个观察”符合上下文语境，故选G。

【4】

根据上文The skis will float ,but you want your body to be in a crouching position in the water. Your skis tips should be pointing out of the water.可知滑水板会浮在水面上，但你要让身体在水中蜷成一团。你的滑水杖应该指向水面外。以及后文When you are ready, you give a signal to the driver of the boat ,who starts speeding.可知当你准备好了，你给驾驶员一个信号，他开始加速。由此可知，本句应当承接上文说明正式开始滑水之前的准备动作。故E选项“你的双臂会过度伸展，紧紧抓住缆绳”符合上下文语境，故选E。

【5】

根据上文Ideally you are pulled into an upright position with your skis underneath you, gliding along the surface of the water.可知理想情况下，你被拉到一个直立的位置，你的滑水板在你下面，沿着水面滑行。由此可知，上文提到的是理想情况下能顺利开始滑水，那么如果不顺利的话可能会需要尝试几次才能成功。故D选项“要有一个成功的开始，很可能需要尝试几次”符合上下文语境，故选D。
