解析：为什么租课本？是一篇广告。提到租课本是现在大学生的时尚。首先租课本能省钱，用于其他必须的开支，其次省时间，只要找准书的ISBN号订下即可，最后是方便，不费事。
【小题1】考查上下文的理解能力。空前一句的意思是：租用课本现在是大学生的新时尚。空后一句的意思是：那就让我们进一步看看为什么租书更经济实惠。所以和D项的意思（有研究想看看是否租课本比买课本既省时又钱。）前后符合。
【小题2】考查上下文的理解能力。空后一句的意思是：非主课的课本更可以通过租获得。与G.项的意思（你不必买所有的课本。）前后符合。
【小题3】考查上下文的理解能力。空前一句的意思是：省下来的钱可以用于买其他的个人用品。与E项的意思（租用教材可以让你每本比零售价节省至少50%）前后符合。
【小题4】考查上下文的理解能力。空前一句的意思是：在网上信誉好的租屋租书可以节省很多时间，与B项的意思（没必要花好几个小时浏览查询。）前后符合。
【小题5】考查上下文的理解能力。空前一句的意思是：除了能省时省钱外，空后的意思是：买新书还要看看对该书的评价，很费时有烦人，租书就省了这些麻烦。与A项的意思（租课本方便所有使用者。）前后符合。
