【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。文章就怎样提高我们的词汇量给了一些建议。

【1】空前的意思：词汇是学习一门新语言的重要部分。空后句意：或许你不能一天学习一百个新词，但是一天能学习一两个，经过数年总共就会有上千个。所以这里选G（你读的越多，就会见到越多的单词，你知道的也就越多。）与上下文一致，故选G。

【2】空前的意思：如果你想更快的提高你的词汇量，你至少要有一个小承诺。所以这里选D（决定每一两天学会一个新词。）与上下文一致，故选D。

【3】空前的意思：让你的词汇很实用。所以这里选F（从学习对你更很重要的词汇开始。）与上下文一致。故选F。

【4】此空是这一段的主题句。空后的意思：当你阅读时，如果遇到你不明白的词汇，不要错过，花点时间在词典里查询它。所以这里选C（从你现在所在的位置开始学习。）与上下文一致，故选C。

【5】空前句意：把你的新词放在与尽可能多的不同的人的对话中。空后句意：把它用在句子里。因此这里选A（反复重复）与上下文一致。故选A。

七选五阅读题，有部分题出现在每一段的开始位置，若问题在段首通常是段落主题句。认真阅读该段落，根据段落一致性原则，查找相关词或者同义词，从而推测出主题句，找到答案。本题第4小题，此空是这一段的主题句。空后的意思：当你阅读时，如果遇到你不明白的词汇，不要错过，花点时间在词典里查询它。所以这里选C（从你现在所在的位置开始学习。）与上下文一致，故选C。
