这是一道七选五题型，主要考查学生对文章整体内容的理解和结构把握，同时考查学生的逻辑推理能力。学生需要根据文章上下文的内容，从给出的选项中选择最合适的句子填入空白处，使文章意思通顺、结构完整。文章主要讲述了一个小男孩对地心的好奇和探索的故事。
针对这类题型，解题的关键在于理解每个空白处前后文的意思，并找出与选项内容最为吻合的句子。接下来，我们根据这一思路，对每个空白处进行逐一分析。
1. 第一个空白处前文提到小男孩对街道下方的东西好奇，并询问了护士，但护士的回答并没有满足他的好奇心，因为他继续追问。所以此处应选表示“我对她的回答不满意”的句子，即选项B。
2. 第二个空白处前文提到小男孩知道地下一定有东西，后文又提到他听说中国人住在世界的另一边，想弄清楚这是否是真的。这显示出小男孩对未知的强烈好奇心。所以此处应选表示“我只是想知道它是什么”的句子，即选项E。
3. 第三个空白处后文提到小男孩决定挖穿地球，这显示出他对自己能够探索未知的决心。所以此处应选表示“所以我下定决心要挖穿地球”的句子，即选项G。
4. 第四个空白处前文提到小男孩在院子后面挖洞，没人知道他在做什么。后文又提到他不想让别人知道他的秘密。所以此处应选表示“我想保守这个秘密，直到我挖穿为止”的句子，即选项F。
5. 第五个空白处前文提到小男孩的父亲问他院子里的洞是怎么回事，这显示出小男孩的秘密已经被发现。所以此处应选表示“我知道我的秘密已经暴露了”的句子，即选项A。
【答案】：
1. B；2. E；3. G；4. F；5. A。
