【解析】

本文是一篇说明文，对生活在农村里的人能够享受的优点做了具体说明，如近距离接触大自然、更自由、农村人更淳朴等。

【1】根据横线后两句“They make friends with trees and stones. They breathe fresh air. They fight with strong winds.”可知在农村，人们可以近距离接触大自然，这是城里人享受不到的优势。C项“They are in close contact with nature.”符合上下文串联。所以选择C项。

【2】本句中仍然是在在列举生活在农村的人能够近距离接触大自然的例子，A项“They listen to the song of birds.”符合上下文串联，故A项正确。

【3】根据横线前句“Because there are less cars, one can walk more freely in the country than in the city.”可知在农村里人们走路更自由，因为路上的车辆很少，所以人们交通灯。故G项“There are no rules of the road nor traffic signs to obey”符合上下文串联，故选择G项。

【4】横线后一句“There are practically no temptations to waste money.”告诉我们“在农村里没有多花钱的诱惑”，也就是说生活在农村人们会更节俭。故E项“Country life is economical (节约的) in other ways, too.”符合上下文串联，故选择E项。

【5】横线后句“They say what they mean, and make and keep promises with sincerity（诚意）.”告诉我们农村人想到什么就说什么，并且总是很有诚意。也就是说农村人非常诚实。故B项正确。

本文小题1问题在段首，属于段落大意题，根据本段列举的事例，归纳出中心思想。我们可以从试题位置上判断。假如问题出现在段首，它通常是段落主题句。认真阅读后文内容，根据段落一致性原则，查找同义词或其他相关的词，推断出主题句。另外着重阅读后文第一两句，锁定线索信号词，然后在选项中查找相关特征词。通常正确答案的最后一句与空白后的第一句在意思上是紧密衔接的，因此这两句间会有某种的衔接手段，尤其当选项是几句话时。

小题1就是根据横线后两句“They make friends with trees and stones. They breathe fresh air. They fight with strong winds.”可知在农村，人们可以近距离接触大自然，这是城里人享受不到的优势。可知C项“They are in close contact with nature.”符合上下文串联。
