【解析】一些人从野餐和旅游中获得乐趣,另一些人喜欢讨论不同的话题并从中找到乐趣,但是读书能让我们获得从其他活动中得不到的快乐。
【1】考查对上下文语境的理解。由空前的"Books are written by learned people" "Writers put in their books not only their own ideas and feelings, but also what they observe and find in society"可知,G项"通过阅读伟大的思想者写的书,我们能与他们的思想交流"符合语境,本段都是讲阅读有学问的人写的书带给人的益处,故选G。
【2】考查对上下文语境的理解。根据上文中的"If we are in a cheerful mood, our joy is increased by reading"及下文中的"They provide us with the best advice and guidance in our difficulties""help us in our hour of need"可推知,接下来要说的是一种与前面相反的情况,故E项"When we are in a depressed mood, books comfort our troubled minds"符合语境,当我们处于消沉的情绪中时,书才会帮助我们。故选E。
【3】考查对上下文语境的理解。本段中的"Loneliness is no trouble for a reader(对读者来说孤单不是问题)"暗示本空选C项,"当我们独自一人时,书是我们最好的朋友"。故选C。
【4】考查对上下文语境的理解。空后讲的都是读书的好处,总结起来就是:读书能给人以智慧。故选B。
【5】考查对上下文语境的理解。空前句子说的是读书的好处,空后说的却是一些书对读者有害。故空处要填一个能起承上启下作用的句子,只有F(但是,如果我们的选择不好的话,我们就不能获得读书的充分益处。)项符合语境。故选F。
