【解析】

本文是說明文。介紹了終身學(xué)習(xí)者具備的四個(gè)特征：1.搜索知識(shí)者；2.自我指導(dǎo)的學(xué)習(xí)者；3.社會(huì)批判的思考者；4.解決問題者。

【1】詞義理解題。根據(jù)后面They are always searching for much information on a topic they’re interested in and looking for new experience or opportunities (機(jī)會(huì)) to improve their knowledge or skills.可知，這些人總是搜索更多他們感興趣的信息，尋找經(jīng)驗(yàn)和機(jī)會(huì)提高能力，故選D。

【2】根據(jù)上一句They like taking different courses and taking part in discussions around subjects they are interested in.他們喜歡學(xué)習(xí)不同課程，參加他們感興趣的話題的討論，和后一句They also know their own learning styles, and their strengths and weaknesses.他們還知道自己的學(xué)習(xí)風(fēng)格和學(xué)習(xí)強(qiáng)項(xiàng)和弱項(xiàng)�？芍�中間說明的是他們既喜歡向他人學(xué)習(xí)，也喜歡和別人一起學(xué)習(xí)，故選B。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段They always use a lot of ways to analyze (分析) and synthesize (合成) information.可知，一個(gè)批判性的思想者具備的特征是：總是用很多辦法分析與核查信息，故選D。

【4】篇章結(jié)構(gòu)題。分析短文結(jié)構(gòu)可知，第一段總的介紹了終身學(xué)習(xí)者持續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)；后面四段（2到5段）分別介紹他們的特征：一是知識(shí)探究者；二是社會(huì)的自主學(xué)習(xí)者；三是批判性的思想者；四是他們是解決問題的人，所以是總分結(jié)構(gòu)，故選C。

【5】主旨大意題。綜合分析短文內(nèi)容可知，短文介紹了主要的終身學(xué)習(xí)這具備的特征，故選A。
