【解析】

本文介紹了讀英語小說的方法，以及讀書寫作的有益之處，讀書是生活中不可缺少的一部分。

【1】根據(jù)后一句I used to have these annoying problems until this semester,說明上文在列舉讀小說時遇到的問題，故選D。

【2】根據(jù)空格后的句子I didn’t use the dictionary, but read on to the next sentence first. 我沒有用字典，而是先讀下一句。這是遇到新單詞時的一種方法，也是老師給我們的建議，故選B。

【3】根據(jù)空前句子Moreover, I formed my own understanding of the story.這和A選項中的it是一致的，it指的就是my own understanding of the story，故選A。

【4】空格前后的句子都在說讀書對提高寫作技巧的作用，所以只有E選項內(nèi)容和寫作技巧有關，故選E。

【5】根據(jù)短文結(jié)構(gòu)，最后一段起到總結(jié)上文的作用，總結(jié)讀書對我們的有益之處，故選C。
