【分析】
这是一道英语阅读六选五题型,文章围绕“阅读入门该如何挑选好书”展开,整体为总-分结构。解题时首先通读全文把握主旨,再逐空定位上下文的逻辑关联:第一空位于首段末尾,前文抛出“想开始阅读却不知道从哪起步”的疑问,后文直接罗列具体建议,该空需要起到引出下文的总起作用;第二空的描述对象是前文提到的图书管理员,需要补充承接图书管理员懂书的特点,呼应后文“能根据阅读喜好推书”的内容;第三空对应“做出改变”的小标题,要贴合“尝试新的阅读类型”的核心主题;第四空需要完成从“实体书封面的书评”到“线上平台书评”的过渡;第五空是段落小标题,要精准概括后文“主动挑战复杂内容提升阅读能力”的核心内容,结合逻辑逐一匹配选项即可。
【解析】
