【解析】

本文是一篇说明文，很多普通学生认为自己无法成为优秀生，文章里提出了成为优秀生的五个建议，包括：计划时间、找到适合学习的场所、利用好课堂时间、经常学习及养成对待考试的好的态度等。

1.根据横线后一句“You probably think you will never be a top student.”可知很多人认为自己很难成为优秀生，因为自己是普通学生。B项“Maybe you are an average student.”与第二句一致，所以选择B项。

2.横线前两句“First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying.”告诉我们要安排好吃饭穿衣等生活必备时间，还要安排好学习时间；除此之外还要有娱乐时间也是必要的，E项“Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.”符合上下文语境，故E项正确。

3.横线前一句“Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials .”建议我们学习的地方不要放任何与学习无关的东西，A项“No games, radios, or television.”与前后语境一致。所以选择A项。

4.横线前句“…review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material.”建议我们要阅读老师第二天要讲的内容，这样可以帮助我们理解第二天老师要讲的内容。C项“This will help you understand the next class.”符合上下文语境，所以现在C项。

5.本段主题“Develop a good attitude towards tests .”建议我们要对测试形成正确的态度。测试的目的是检测我们对知识的掌握程度，即使考试失败了也没太大关系。G项“The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be overworried.”与上下文语境一致。所以选择G项。
