【解析】

本文為說明文。本文是告訴如果你的資金有限，但又對演奏樂器感興趣的話，如何自學演奏樂器。首先必須設定一個可行的目標；研究不同的樂器后再購樂器，在購買之前要試一下看看是否是最舒服的；自學時可選擇書、視頻等免費的資料；最為重要的是如果是進步很小或感覺練習很無聊時一定要堅持，并不斷提高，這樣你就會達到目標。

【1】考查對上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。本段的主題句是為自己設定一個目標。分析選項可知，只有C項（想想你想從這次經(jīng)歷中得到什么）與目標有關。再分析本小題后的內(nèi)容可知，你學樂器的目的是什么。是組成樂隊還是為了樂趣而學，可知這是學樂器的目的。而且本段中有Be realistic about your goals與C項意義重復，故選C項。

【2】考查對上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。根據(jù)上一句“當你剛剛開始學習如何演奏一種新樂器時，要使你的目標現(xiàn)實一些”這是因為“學習樂器開始很耗時的”，分析選項可知，G項（首先，這可能是耗時的，但結果會更值得）符合題意，故選G項。

【3】考查對上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。本段的中心句是“Research different instruments.”根據(jù)下面的內(nèi)容可知，“對樂器有了一定的研究后就要購買。購買時有注意點。尤其是本小題后的“如果這樣做的話，你可以知道哪一個是你最舒服的�！狈治鲞x項可知，選項F與購買樂器有關。把F項放入句中“最重要的是，在你買之前，先考慮試穿用一下。這樣的話，你可以知道你最喜歡哪一種”，可知上下文的語境一致，故選F項。

【4】考查對上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。本段的中心句是“上課”。本段的內(nèi)容是學習演奏樂器可以通過看書，培訓視頻和在線資源等方式來學習，這些都是免費的。分析選項可知A項（而且，很多樂器是完全免費的），符合語境，故選A項。

【5】考查對上下文的理解及推理判斷能力。本段主要是說“有時可能沒有進步令人沮喪或感覺練習讓人煩躁，但也不能停止。朝向你的目標前進并不斷改進”。分析選項可知E項（記住你有一個你想要達到的目標）符合語境。放入句中 “有時候，可能進步極小，很令人沮喪，感覺練習也是令人無聊的。然而，記住你有一個你想要達到的目標。努力做你想做的事情，并不斷改進”，由此可知句意完整，故選E項。
