【解析】

本文主要介紹了雙向無線電對澳大利亞農(nóng)場中的人們的重要性。

【1】根據(jù)“Around this dry part are large sheep and cow farms…Often the nearest neighbors are several hundred kilometers away”可知，本段主要介紹的是澳大利亞的國土面積非常大，在干旱區(qū)周圍有一些大型的綿羊和奶牛養(yǎng)殖場，最近的鄰居也相距幾百公里，故此處應(yīng)是重點突出“面積的巨大”，結(jié)合選項可知C選項“其中一些養(yǎng)殖場的面積和美國最小的州一樣大”符合前后文語境。故選C。

【2】根據(jù)“It works much like a telephone”可知，此處是介紹雙向無線電的工作原理，結(jié)合選項可知B選項“一個人可以傾聽別人的談話，然后給出答案”符合前后文語境。故選B。

【3】根據(jù)后文“They could tell the doctor about someone who was ill, and the doctor could let them know how to look after the sick person”可知，農(nóng)場中的人們可以和醫(yī)生進行交流，故此處應(yīng)與“和醫(yī)生交流”相關(guān)，結(jié)合選項可知D選項“然后，大農(nóng)場里的人們可以和幾百公里外的醫(yī)生交談”符合前后文語境。故選D。

【4】根據(jù)段落大意可知，本段主要介紹了雙向無線電可以應(yīng)用到農(nóng)場中人們生活的方方面面，故此處與其作用有關(guān)，結(jié)合選項可知A選項“他們可以談?wù)撜l要離開或者誰病了”符合前后文語境。故選A。

【5】主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章最后一句“In many ways the radio became a newspaper for the farm people of Australia”以及全文內(nèi)容可知，雙向無線電影響著農(nóng)場中人們的方方面面，因此它對人們是非常重要的。故選D。
