【5】E

【解析】

【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是离家外出前的准备有助于缓解思乡之情。

【1】根据下文的"Remember the following strategies before you get ready to leave"及选项F中的"Preparing to move away"与其中的"get ready to leave"的对应关系可知答案。

【2】根据下文中的"Knowing more about homesickness will provide insight into how common it is for people to have feelings of missing home"可知答案。选项C中的"normal"与文中的"common"相呼应。

【3】根据该段中的"You can ask someone who is knowledgeable about where you’ll go to describe the daily routines or activities you should expect. If it’s practical, you could plan… go to"可知，本段主要讲的是要熟悉你将要去的地方这一方面的内容，故选D。本题易错选A项。考生以为此处指的是要探索你要去的地方这方面的内容，但A项是正确选项的话，这与文中的"a preliminary(初步的) visit"相矛盾，故可排除A项。

【4】根据上文中的"When you know what some of your routines and activities will be when you get to the new place, you’ll feel more comfortable"及下文中的"helped to avoid feelings of homesickness"可知G项符合语境。

【5】根据上文中的"Bring along a favorite book, a pair of slippers, or a picture"及E项中的"These items"与"a favorite book, a pair of slippers, or a picture"的对应关系可知答案。
