【解析】

试题分析：本文介绍了山地自行车运动的特点以及人们购买自行车要注意的事项和参加山地自行车的安全问题。

【1】C 根据横线前一句Mountain biking is a great way to explore the outdoors, stay in shape, or just have fun可知山地自行车是一项探索户外、保持体形并获得快乐的很好的方法。根据横线后一句Even though it’s dangerous, if you ride with caution, it can be enjoyed by the entire family.尽管很危险，只要我们小心一点，我们仍然可以享受这项运动。所以本句表示这些运动就快乐，但也有危险。所以C项“Racing down the side of a mountain is a lot of fun indeed, although it can also be quite dangerous.”能够串联上下文。

【2】D 根据本段第一句Mountain biking can best be characterized into three different styles - downhill, free riding, and cross country.可知山地自行车有不同的种类。你选择的运动类型决定了你所选择的自行车的种类。故D项“The style that youpick will determine the type of bike you get.”符合上下文串联。

【3】E 根据本段前两句You can find groups that have mountain bike rides and competitions.可知你可以找到不同类型的自行车团体，所以E项“You may be able to find groups for the more advanced riders as well as beginners.你也许会找到水平很高的人也可能找到初学者”与上文一致。

【4】G 本句考查了常识。当我们去买自行车的时候，无论出于何种目的，要买什么样的自行车，我们都需要首先尝试一下。所以G项“Before you buy a bike, always ask to try it out first.在你购买之前，请求试用一下”符合常识。

【5】F 根据本段最后一句Safety should be your top priority and never taken lightly anytime you are mountain biking.可知安全问题是山地自行车运动要注意的第一要素，所以本题也应该是与安全有关的话题，故C项“Mountain bike riding on unpaved roads can be very dangerous, as mentioned earlier.”恰好是与之相关的内容。故F项正确。
