【解析】

本文是說明文。文章為我們介紹了在大學里成功申請獎學金的幾種方法。

【1】

根據(jù)下文The following is the ways you should know about.(以下是你應該知道的方法)為介紹申請獎學金的方法可知大學的獎學金是給那些懂得盡力去爭取的學生的，故G選項“經(jīng)驗證明，獎學金將頒發(fā)給那些值得的人”符合上下文語境，故選G。

【2】

根據(jù)下文I know it is obvious to the football player that sports will increase the possibility, but did you know you can get scholarships for less-known sports?(我知道這對足球運動員來說很明顯，體育運動將增加這種可能性，但你知道你可以為不太出名的運動獲得獎學金嗎？)中的“ the football player”,可知這些都是屬于運動員( athlete)的范疇�？芍�一些最高的獎學金是給大學運動員的。故E選項“一些最高獎學金是給大學運動員的”符合上下文語境，故選E。

【3】

上文Try volunteering in your community or a community chapter of a major organization.(嘗試在你所在的社區(qū)或大型組織的社區(qū)分會做志愿者)講到要參與社區(qū)義務工作，下文說明這是因為有效的社會義務工作會讓你在大學里高人一籌，故F選項“高水平的社區(qū)服務會助你上大學”符合上下文語境，故選F。

【4】

根據(jù)下文Try building a personal connection with someone at a scholarship society.(試著和獎學金協(xié)會的人建立個人聯(lián)系)以及主要內(nèi)容可知本段主要講要通過各種方法和獎學金評選活動成員保持聯(lián)絡,以增加獲選的可能性。故B選項“保持聯(lián)絡”符合上下文語境，故選B。

【5】

本段最后一句Applying early can lead to more applications overall, and someone who applies to 100 scholarships against 10 has a much better chance of being awarded!( 提前申請可以帶來更多的申請，申請100個獎學金的人比申請10個獎學金的人更有可能獲得獎學金!)可知申請獎學金其實也是一種“數(shù)字游戲(numbers game)”。故C選項“它也可以是一個數(shù)字游戲”符合上下文語境，故選C。
