【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何选取主修课程给出了一些实用性的建议。

1.衔接句。根据上文的So it's necessary to learn some simple tips that will make your decision much easier（因此，有必要学习一些简单的技巧，让你的决定更容易）和下文的And how does that choice affect your future career? （这个选择对你未来的职业有什么影响?）可知，选项A“你必须想办法选择专业”与上下文的衔接最好，故选A。

2.推断句。根据上文的After completing a list of general education courses, you spend the rest of the time studying one subject of your choice.可知，完成公共课程后，你把剩下的时间花在学习你选择的一个科目上。此处是关于学习的课程，由此可推断出，选项F“大约三分之一到一半的课程与你的专业相关”与上文语境最相符。故选F。

3.推断句。根据下文的you should begin taking courses you are required to complete before graduation 可知，应该是先选定专业，然后开始选所需要修完的课程，由此可推断出选项C“一旦你知道了自己最喜欢的专业”与下文衔接最好。故选C。

4.主旨句。本段主要讲了你应该开始思考你的领域将如何尽快找到一份工作，考虑与你专业的潜在职业选择相关兼职工作。由此可知，作为本段的首句（主旨句），应涵盖本段的主要内容，因此选项D“而你的专业可能直接或间接导致你的职业生涯”最合题意。故选D。

5.衔接句。根据上文提到对于一些专业，你的大部分学习将包括在未来工作中可以使用的技能。再结合下文说：你越早开始在实验室工作，做研究项目，或帮助教授做助教，你就越能更好地规划自己的职业生涯。由此可知，选项G“然而，你仍然应该考虑课外活动，以更好地为你做准备”与上下文的衔接最好，故选G。
