【5】E

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文，介紹了幾個學習英語的好方法。

【1】本空起到開啟下文的作用，F選項“有一些技巧可以讓事情變得簡單一點�！焙芎玫匾�出了下文給出的幾點建議。故選F項。

【2】本段主要討論元音，前文提到“there are five main vowel letters: a, e, i, o, u.”，C選項“Sometimes the letter “y” can make a vowel sound, too.”的“too”作為關(guān)鍵詞與前一句達成并列關(guān)系，且亦是在討論元音。故選C項。

【3】下文“One of the most effective ways to learn a language is to listen to someone speaking it.” 學習一門語言最有效的方法之一就是聽別人說，可知本段主要講述在學英語時聽一個講英語的人說話。故選B項。

【4】本段下文“To solve this problem and really see how you sound, try recording yourself.Use a smart phone or tape recorder to play back how you sound when you are speaking English.”要解決這個問題并真正了解你的聲音，試著自己錄音。用智能手機或錄音機播放你說英語時的聲音。這個問題就是你怎么知道你說得對？故選D項。

【5】前文提到“find someone who can practice with you and act as a spoken English tutor.” 找一個能和你一起練習的人來做英語口語老師，這里是因果關(guān)系。他或她會糾正你，教你如何發(fā)音更好。故選E項。

七選五題型要求考生從整體上把握文章的邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)和內(nèi)容上的聯(lián)系，理解句子之間、段落之間的關(guān)系，對諸如連貫性、一致性等語段特征有較強的意識和熟練的把握。所以懂得整篇文章的基本結(jié)構(gòu)或段落的語篇結(jié)構(gòu)對解題很有用。

分析本文的語篇結(jié)構(gòu)，可以知道第一段是文章的主題句，然后接下來各段的語篇結(jié)構(gòu)都是主題句（總）+支撐句（分）（分述主題的具體內(nèi)容/說明原因/舉例證明等）。所以第2小題本段的支撐句（分）是下文“One of the most effective ways to learn a language is to listen to someone speaking it.” 學習一門語言最有效的方法之一就是聽別人說，可知本段主要講述在學英語時聽一個講英語的人說話。故選B項。
