【分析】先通读短文理解主旨大意，再结合英语的固定搭配、常用句型、冠词及连词的用法，逐空分析：第1空考查固定搭配；第2空考查形式主语句型；第3空考查交流相关的固定搭配；第4空考查选择连词的固定结构；第5空考查元音音素开头的可数名词前的冠词用法，从而确定每个空的答案。
【解析】1. 固定搭配use sth to do sth表示“用某物做某事”，此处表示用声音交流，故填to；2. 固定句型it is + adj + to do sth中it作形式主语，真正主语是后面的不定式短语，故填it；3. 固定搭配communicate with sb表示“和某人交流”，故填with；4. 固定结构whether...or...表示“不管是……还是……”，表选择关系，故填or；5. island是以元音音素开头的可数名词单数，此处表泛指“一个”，故用不定冠词an。
【答案】1. to 2. it 3. with 4. or 5. an
