【解析】这是一篇说明文。到海外学习是令人激动的经历,介绍选择到国外学习要考虑的问题。
【1】考查上下文的语境理解能力。下文讲到:生活在另一个国家可以帮助你学习一种语言和文化。对以后的求职有帮助。C项意思是为什么出国学习?能够概括本段意思,符合语境。故选C.
【2】考查上下文的语境理解能力。根据后一句意思是:因为今天许多想要会说第二语言,或有在另一个国家生活或工作经历的雇员。E项意思是:海外学习可能还对你未来的职业规划有好处。符合语境。故选E.
【3】考查上下文的语境理解能力。根据下一段第一句讲到:决定出国学习要做出很多选择,以及下文的意思“问问自己:我想去哪里,为什么?我想要花多少钱?我想留学多长时间?我想要与主人家庭,与室友,还是独自生活?”可知,B项“做出正确的选择”能够概括下文,作为本段的标题。故选B.
【4】考查上下文的语境理解能力。根据本段内容:早些准备护照和签证,了解要去的国家的钱,并且去之前学一些语言和阅读一些相关的风俗习惯。可知此段表示要准备出国。A项“准备出国”符合语境。故选A.
【5】考查上下文的语境理解能力。前一句的意思是:在海外的头几个星期,很多学生会有点想家。想他们的家人、 朋友和熟悉的做事方式。后一句的意思是:当你感到悲伤或想家时,试着和别人谈谈,或在一个笔记本中写下你的感受。所以这里选择E(记住,习惯新的地方、 学校和文化是需要时间的。)前后一致。故选F.
