【解析】夏天是与朋友们聚会的好时间，这篇文章为大家介绍了如何使用一些步骤来准备一个时尚的夏日聚会。

1.首先这一段是关于颜色选择的计划，联系第一空前的内容“One item may also inspire the rest of the party”一种事物可以激发出派对的剩余内容，可以发现F项：一旦做出决定就开始收集你的物品，即是指一旦你选好了颜色就可以开始收集你的各种物品，与空前内容可以照应，连接顺畅。故选F。

2.根据这一空给出的信息，可知要插入的这句话是一个疑问句，所以只有A、C可以选择，再根据这一空后面的内容“No problem! Use pinking shears(花齿剪)to cut your table cloth and napkins to size.”可以发现A选项：设计后它会看起来漂亮吗？这与后面的内容并不能很好地连接，而对于C选项：没时间也不知道如何缝纫？后面紧接着：没问题！……，这里的连接更加的合理。故选C。

3.根据这一空前面的内容“Get outside for your summer gathering”为你的夏日聚会来到外面，那么后面则需要解释进一步阐释为什么要把聚会从室内带到室外，可以发现只有G项：在大自然中娱乐有一种魔力，符合要求，故选G。

4.第四空是小标题部分，需要能概括下面段落的主要内容。这一段的中心句为第一句：“No summer party is complete without greenery”没有树木的夏日派对是不完整的，后面又继续阐述了派对用绿植的原因，大家可能会选B或E选项，关于E选项，段落中并没有指出建议你去附近的商店买绿植，而只是建议你使用树木来装饰派对。故选B。

5.此段的内容是有关于位置卡的内容，此空前已经描述了位置卡的颜色大小的选择的内容，所以这一空还应该是与位置卡有关的内容，可以发现只有D项“Write each person’s name in gold paint pen”用金色的笔写每个人的名字与之有关。故选D。
