答案：1.E 2.F 3.B 4.A 5.D
解析：
我们可以根据上下文逻辑逐一匹配选项：
1. 空前句“Among many kinds of teapots（在众多茶壶中）”需要引出核心介绍对象紫砂壶，E选项“数百年来紫砂壶占据着重要地位”符合语境，自然引出下文对紫砂泥的介绍。
2. 空前句介绍紫砂壶因独特设计、优美外形和优良品质广受喜爱，F选项“它们还可以长时间保留茶的色、香、味”补充说明紫砂壶的实用优势，其中They指代前文的Yixing zisha teapots，逻辑通顺。
3. 空前句提问为什么紫砂壶价格高昂，本空对应第一个原因，空后内容介绍紫砂泥的特殊属性，B选项“它的材料——紫砂泥非常特别”刚好引出下文对紫砂泥的具体说明。
4. 空前句说明紫砂壶制作难度大、耗费大量时间，A选项“这给紫砂壶增加了额外的价值”顺承前文内容，解释工艺耗时和高价的关联。
5. 空后句说明紫砂壶不仅可以沏茶，还能让人体验中国文化，D选项“你不妨试试用紫砂壶沏茶”自然引出后文的体验推荐，符合收尾逻辑。
多余选项C和上下文逻辑不匹配，为干扰项。
