Question

【解析】

试题分析：文章主要是围“欺骗”绕这个话题展开的，讲述了“欺骗”的各种表现形式，“欺骗”的原因，最后总结出“欺骗”不是一个好的主意。

【1】文章开头直接引出话题“欺骗”，并说出了什么叫做“欺骗”，空白处的后一段话，主要讲了孩子在不同场合下的欺骗行为，故选E。

【2】此处空白后面的一句话，意思是“这种欺骗行为叫做抄袭”，说明此处空白应该是欺骗的行为表现，再结合空白前的部分，故选G。

【3】第二段空白处后的一段话主要讲述了欺骗的方式，比如，在游戏或者考试的时候打破规则、欺骗别人把本来不属于自己的东西占为己有，故选B。

【4】空白处的前面一段话的讲了“欺骗”的好处，即让一些原本困难的事情变得很简单，例如轻松获得所有正确答案，但是空白后的讲述的是并不能一直依靠欺骗给予帮助，空白前后意思截然相反，因此中间应该有个转折，故选C。

【5】空白前的部分表明欺骗并不能一直给予帮助，空白后面一段话讲述了一些人想要获得好的成绩结果却不想付出，这是一种懒惰的表现，再结合后面的“good reason”，表明空白处应该是原因，故选择A。
