【解析】

英国的一所学校最近作出一项新规定：老师们被要求使用绿色的笔来批改学生们的作业和给试卷评分。这是由于有一个研究表明，使用红色的笔批改作业对学生有消极的影响。

1.根据本空后的回答“Yeah.”可知，此处应该是一个一般疑问句，应该提到批改作业用什么颜色的笔。因此选择It's red, isn't it? 它是红色的，不是吗？故选A。

2.根据“Teachers always use red pens to check students papers and homework,”可知，空前说老师使用红笔批改作业，空后说老师不在使用红笔。可知，此处应有个转折，应该指出哪里的老师不在用红笔批改作业了。因此选择But in England, the teachers at Mount School need to put away their red pens. 但是在英国，蒙特学校的老师们需要把他们的红笔收起来。故选F。

3.根据空后的句子“A study shows that color is negative(消极的) color. Red pens can make students worried and unhappy.” 一项研究表明，红颜色是消极的。红色的钢笔会让学生们担心和不高兴。可知，此处应该询问老师不再使用红色的笔批改作业的原因。是句首，起到概括的作用。因此选择Why are the teachers no longer (不再) using red pens? 为什么老师们不再用红笔了？故选C。

4.根据“He says. “I always use red pens to work. I think children like red better because they can read red comments more easily:””他说我总是用红笔批改作业。我认为孩子们更喜欢红色，因为他们更容易阅读红色批注。可知，此处应该是一个支持用红色的笔来批改作业的老师来表达他的观点。因此选择But Chris McGovern, a teacher, doesn't agree. 但是克里斯·麦戈文，一位老师，不同意。故选B。

5.根据“The important thing is how the students think of their comments.”重要的是学生如何看待他们的批注。可知，此处应该说不重要的事情是什么。应该选择In fact, using a color like green or red is not important. 事实上，使用绿色或红色来批改作业并不重要。故选E。
