【解析】

这是一篇说明文。本文围绕如何成为更优秀的学生提出了几种建议，包括学习时间，地点，方法和考试等方面。

1.

根据上文Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student.(也许你是个普通的学生。你可能认为你永远不会成为一个优等生)尤其是空前的“This is not necessarily so, however.” 中的“however”与前面的意思相反的，可知，此处是指“然而”，这未必如此（未必你不能成为优等生），就是说你可以成为优等生。再结合下文的五个建议就是如果想成为优生，你做到以下几点，就可以成为优生。故D选项“如果他或她想的话，任何人都可以成为一个更好的学生”符合语境，故选D。

2.

根据上文When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First arrange your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying.可知当你计划你的一周时，你应该把你必须做的事情列一个清单。列完清单后，你应该制定一个时间计划。首先要安排好吃饭、睡觉、穿衣等时间。然后决定一个好的，有规律的学习时间。由此可知，上文指出要做好相应的工作计划，对自己的时间做好打算，如穿衣吃饭，还有娱乐时间等。故C选项“别忘了留出足够的时间娱乐”符合语境，故选C。

3.

根据上文Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.可知利用课堂时间听老师说的每一句话。以及后文Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.可知做笔记会帮助你记住老师说的话。由此可知，本句旨在说明上课认真听讲的原因是——课后可以少做功课。故B选项“上课认真听讲意味着之后少做功课”符合语境，故选B。

4.

本句为本段小标题，结合本段内容When you get home from school, go over your notes. Preview the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day and read that material. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.可知当你从学校回到家，复习你的笔记。预习老师第二天要讨论的要点，并阅读相关材料。这将帮助你理解下一节课。如果你定期地做这些事情，学习的材料会变得更有意义，你记住它的时间也会更长。由此可知，本段是在说明要定期学习。后文中regularly可对应到A选项Study regularly。故A选项“定期学习”符合小标题，故选A。

5.

根据本段小标题Develop a good attitude about tests.(培养对测试的良好态度)以及后文It helps you remember your new knowledge. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don't be overly worried.可知它帮助你记住新知识。如果你考试不及格，世界不会毁灭，所以不要过度担心。由此可知，此处旨在说明测试的目的是显示你对某一科目的掌握程度，从而帮助你记住新知识。故F选项“测试的目的是显示你对某一科目的掌握程度”符合语境，故选F。
