【4】E

【5】G

【解析】

本文是说明文，介绍了一项有趣的水上运动——滑水。

【1】

此题线索是逻辑。选项B意思为：需要一点耐心去学习它；空后一句中的however表示语义转折。空后一句说明“一旦你开始，滑水就是只要你有船和足够的平坦的水面就可以享受的运动”，与选项B语义出现转折。故选B项。

【2】

选项F意思为：在开始之前滑水，你需要有一些物资。空后提到“每个滑水运动员都需要滑水板”；“water skis”和选项F中的“supplies”分别是下义词和上义词。故选F项。

【3】

选项C意思为：当然，没有人能单独去滑水。空后一句提到“你至少需要找到两个人和你一起进行滑水冒险”，是顺承选项C的话题。故选C项。

【4】

此题线索是逻辑。选项E意思为：您还需要一个滑水缆绳和救生衣。选项E中“当然，你需要一艘船”中的“You will also need…”与空前一句中“You need…”是递进关系。故选E项。

【5】

此题线索是词汇复现。选项G意思为：在你的两个帮手中，你需要一个开船、一个观察。空后一句中“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。”中的“the observer”与选项G中“observe”是同根词复现。故选G项。
