【4】E

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文。主要介紹了五歲孩子的社交、語言、動作、計算等方面的發(fā)展特征。

【1】根據(jù)空前內容可知，五歲的孩子依賴于成年人的認可和贊揚，成年人單方面成導向，講故事時沒有考慮到其他孩子的觀點。因此孩子們之間的沒有真正的討論，即是一種“集體獨白”，且因為孩子們以個人為中心，集體游戲經常被打斷，由此可知，D選項能銜接上下文。故選D。

【2】根據(jù)空后內容可知， 5歲孩子所能做到的各種活動，B選項（他通常能夠用腳趾頭輕快地跑，并且擅長各種各樣的活動，包括擺動、挖掘和滑動）與孩子活動有關，故選B。

【3】根據(jù)本段的主要內容可知，5歲孩子能數(shù)數(shù)，詢問第一次聽到的單詞，說出單詞的意思等，這屬于5歲孩子能夠達到的認知和語言水平，故A選項（現(xiàn)在他的詞匯量已經達到了2000個單詞，所以他可以很輕松地和成年人或其他孩子交流）屬于認知和語言范疇，故選A。

【4】根據(jù)空后內容可知，E選項銜接下文，他能很快地自己穿衣服和脫衣服，還能分辨衣服的前后。不過，有時他可能會把它前后顛倒，或偶爾從里到外，故選E。
