【5】G

【解析】

本文是一篇科普類說明文。文章介紹了1歲到3歲的孩子容易發(fā)怒的原因及這種情緒得到緩解的原因，告誡家長應(yīng)當(dāng)遇事冷靜，并幫助孩子們養(yǎng)成冷靜的習(xí)慣。

【1】根據(jù)上文They're equally common in boys and girls and mostly happen between the ages of one to three.可知，1歲到3歲的孩子發(fā)怒很正常；結(jié)合該句中的and others have them rarely可知，一些孩子可能會經(jīng)常發(fā)怒，但是另一些孩子很少發(fā)怒。故B項正確。

【2】空格處在該段結(jié)尾，其作用是總結(jié)該段內(nèi)容并引起下段內(nèi)容；通讀該段內(nèi)容可知，該段主要陳述孩子發(fā)怒是表現(xiàn)他們不開心或沮喪的方式，下段內(nèi)容是說隨年齡增長，孩子們的語言技能得到提升，他們也就不那么容易發(fā)怒了。F項“久而久之，孩子們就擁有處理這種沮喪的技能了”承上啟下。故F項正確。

【3】根據(jù)空格上一句Because young children at this age can't yet say what they want，feel，or need，a frustrating experience may cause a tantrum.可知，處在這個年齡階段的孩子由于無法用言語表達(dá)他們的需要，所以會發(fā)怒。D項“隨著語言技能的提高，發(fā)怒的行為將會減少”承接上文，符合語境。故D項正確。

【4】根據(jù)該段第二句This can lead to power struggles as a child thinks “I can do it myself” or “I want it, give it to me”．可知，孩子們總是在想“我能自己完成”“我想要，給我吧”；據(jù)此可以判斷，E項“孩子們總是想要獨立，操控他們的環(huán)境”與該段內(nèi)容相符。故E項正確。

【5】根據(jù)空格后一句So you need to be calm, too.可知，該處建議遇到問題首先自己要冷靜。G項“你要想著你的工作就是幫你的孩子學(xué)會冷靜”與此構(gòu)成因果關(guān)系，銜接緊密。故G項正確。
