三、信息还原
请认真阅读下面的短文,从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,其中有一项是多余的。
Do - it - yourself projects let you design your house, providing a way to save money, but even with step - by - step instructions, DIY doesn't always go as planned. Nearly 80% of homeowners make a mistake while doing DIY. (1) F
Taking on too much
More than 40% of people find DIY projects more difficult and expensive than they thought. Bailey Carson, a home care expert, said, “(2) C It's important to think about why you want to DIY, and what you hope to get out of it. Without the time, tools and skills to do it correctly and safely, mistakes may cost you more than simply paying others to help.”
(3) A
A third of people used the wrong tools for a DIY project. Many tools are designed for special uses and materials, so if you use them for other tasks, you may get hurt. Always use the proper tools for each project, and make sure you know how to use them.
Not safety first
(4) D Of the survey people who once made a big mistake during their DIY projects, 47% said that the mistake led to serious problems, while 44% started a fire or fell off a roof or ladder. Take your time and follow all safety rules when using tools to protect yourself.
Skipping (跳过) important steps
Skipping a key step can ruin your whole DIY project. And you might not know it until much later. In the survey, 47% of people said that they had finished a DIY project before knowing it was done wrong. (5) E And make sure you have the necessary skills to complete each step.

答案： 【解析】：
这是一道英语信息还原题，主要考查学生对文章结构和上下文逻辑关系的理解能力。文章主要讨论了DIY项目中常见的错误，并给出了几个具体的错误类型。题目要求从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，以完善文章的内容。
在解答这道题时，学生需要先通读全文，了解文章的大致内容和结构。然后，仔细阅读每个空白处的前后文，分析上下文之间的逻辑关系，以确定哪个选项最符合语境。
对于每个空白处，学生需要逐一考虑所给的选项，并根据上下文进行筛选。例如，第一个空白处需要总结下文提到的DIY错误类型，因此应选择能够概括这些错误的选项。第二个空白处需要承接上文提到的DIY项目的难度和成本，并引出下文关于DIY目的和期望的讨论，因此应选择与此相关的选项。以此类推，学生可以根据上下文逻辑关系逐一确定每个空白处的最佳选项。
