【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了让你的书籍保持良好状态的一些技巧。

1.考查段尾句。根据空前的“many readers must read their books but they still want to protect them.（许多读者既要阅读他们的书，也想保护好它们）”可知，G项（你可以按照以下提示使书籍保持良好状态）能够承接上文，下文具体讲解了保持书籍处于良好状态的一些技巧。故选G项。

2.考查段中句。根据前一句“don't write in the book in ink（不要用墨水在书上写字）”可知，C项（墨水可能会永远损坏你的书）能够承接上文，且与下文“Use a notebook to take notes or use pieces of paper.（用笔记本或纸张做笔记）”连接通顺。故选C项。

3.考查段中句。根据前一句“Food and drinks are things that may be dangerous to your books.（食物和饮料可能是对你的书很危险的东西）”可知，F项（因此，阅读时请勿进食或饮水）能够承接上文，且与下文“If you need to read while you eat, make sure your fingers are clean and dry as you hold the book or turn the pages.（如果你在用餐时需要阅读，请在拿书或翻页时确保手指清洁干燥）”连接通顺。故选F项。

4.考查段首句。空后“Don't let it drop to the ground. Don't place your books with the book open, face down.”讲“不要让它掉到地上。请勿将书本打开并朝下放置。你最好使用书套，以使书本保持最佳状态”。D项（当你拿着书时，请务必小心）与下文连接通顺，且选项中的关键词care与该段标题Take care相符。故选D项。

5.考查段首句。空后的“If you want to take care of your books keep your books on a shelf when you are not reading them.”讲“如果你要照顾你的书，请在不读书时将其放在书架上”。A项（放在书架上）与下文连接通顺，shelf是一个明显的提示词语。故选A项。
