【解析】

试题分析：本文属于说明文，主要介绍了青年旅社出现的前因后果和运营的详细情况介绍。

1.C 根据后句This was not because the woods and fields were always far away, but because they were too far from the city to permit people to make a day trip between morning and nightfall.可知孩子们很少有机会到乡下去欣赏乡村的景色。故C项符合上下文。

2.E 根据下句He decided to turn his little school house into a dormitory for the summer holidays.可知是这个人改变了这个情况。故E项内容符合上下文。

3.A 根据前一句A few years later, the school house was much too small to hold the many young people who wanted to stay there可知房子太小了，要建设更大的房子了。故A项内容符合上下文。

4.D 根据前句When young people arrive at the hostel, they have only to show their cards of membership in a hostel organization in their own country可知年轻人必须要出示自己的card才可以享受这样的待遇。故D项符合上下文。

5. 根据下句For this reason, a few weeks spent ‘hostelling’ can be just as useful a part of one’s education as classes in school.可知这种形式对于学生的教育是有很重要的意义的，故F项“One can learn a lot about other places, just by meeting people from those places”中恰好是我们可以从中学到的内容，故该项内容符合上下文。

【名师点睛】

该题型给出的选项中我们可以发现一些特点：该题型选项大致可分为主旨概括句（文章整体内容）、过渡性句子（文章结构）和注释性句子（上下文逻辑意义）三类。

1、先看选项。跟完形填空不一样，七选五的答案选项较少，并且给出的都是句子，因此，我们可以通过句子的完整性或者句子后面的标点符号来判断该句在文章中的位置。另外，通过阅读选项，有可能找出跟其他选项表达完全不同意思的句子，这样的话我们就可以直接将该选项排除。

2、再看空前空后。由于七选五空出的是整个句子，而这些句子与句子之间，必然有一种联系，因此我们可以通过选项中某个名词或动词跟空前或空后的一致性或者相关性来确定这两个句子之间有一种关联性，从而选择正确的答案。

3、注意代词或定冠词。在做这类题目的时候，一定要注意句子中出现的人称代词或者指示代词，因为我们知道，代词是指代一个名词或者一个句子的，然后通过代词在句子中所做的成分我们可以推断出它指代的句子的类型，我们要做的就是从选项中找这类句型就可以了。

4、注意一些特殊疑问词。如果选项中或空前出现特殊疑问词，一定要把这句话仔细读几遍，因为对于不同特殊疑问词的回答方式是不一样的，比如对why的回答，后面要有because等表原因的词，对when的回答，后面要有表时间的状语，对where的回答，后面要有表地点的名词，对how的回答，后面要有方式状语等。

5、注意一些连词。如一些表示转折的连词，but，However，yet，though，nevertheless等，另外还有一些表示并列关系的连词如and，also，as well as，neither nor，either or，not only...but also，on one hand....on the other hand等。因为这些连词可以表现句子与句子之间的关系，通过不同的连词我们可以推知句子与句子之间不同的关系。
