【解析】

本文向我們講述了終生學習者是什么樣子的，并介紹了一些他們的主要特征。

【1】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)下文They are always searching for much information on a topic they're interested in and looking for new experience or opportunities to improve their knowledge or skills.他們總是在尋找自己感興趣的話題信息，并尋找新的經(jīng)驗或機會來提高他們的知識或技能，可知"knowledge seekers"指的是“尋找知識的人”，故答案選A。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)下文they also know their own learning styles, and their strengths and weaknesses.他們也知道自己的學習方式，以及自己的優(yōu)缺點，結(jié)合選項，可知B選項“他們從別人那里學習”符合題意，故答案選B。

【3】推理判斷題。A. You always use a lot of ways to analyse and synthesize information.你總是用很多方法來分析和綜合信息；B. You believe in the information you get and use them in your study.你相信你得到的信息，并在你的研究中使用它們；C. You correct mistakes someone makes as soon as you find them.只要你找到了，你就會改正錯誤；D. You ask others for help when you can’t correct your own mistakes.當你不能改正自己的錯誤時，你可以向別人求助。本題題意為：下列哪一個最清楚地表明你是一個有判斷力的思考者，結(jié)合選項可知，A選項符合題意，故答案選A。

【4】主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，本文首先提出問題：終生學習者是什么樣的？然后闡述了終生學習者的內(nèi)涵和含義，接著就終生學習者的特征展開分述，所以本文的組織結(jié)構(gòu)安排為總、分式，故答案選C。

【5】主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，本文主要向我們講述了終生學習者是什么樣子的，并介紹了一些他們的主要特征。結(jié)合選項可知，D選項To introduce some of the main characteristics lifelong learners have.“介紹了終生學習者的一些主要特點”符合題意，故答案選D。

這是一篇科普說明文，短文中給我們介紹了終生學習者的一些特征。短文主題明確，結(jié)構(gòu)清晰。文章第一段引出話題，下面的四段分別介紹了他們的四個特征。把握文章的主題和結(jié)構(gòu)可以讓我們更好的理解文章，完成后面的題目。題型有詞義猜測題、推理判斷題和主旨大意題。詞義猜測題考查學生們通過語境理解生詞詞義的能力，例如第1小題，根據(jù)下文They are always searching for much information on a topic they're interested in and looking for new experience or opportunities to improve their knowledge or skills.他們總是在尋找自己感興趣的話題信息，并尋找新的經(jīng)驗或機會來提高他們的知識或技能，可知"knowledge seekers"指的是“尋找知識的人”，故答案選A。再如第4小題，考查我們對文章結(jié)構(gòu)的理解，通過分析短文可知，這是一個比較明顯的總分結(jié)構(gòu)，第一段提出話題，下面分別介紹了終生學習者的四個特征，故C選項是正確的。
