【解析】

这是一篇说明文。作者根据自己国外留学的经历，介绍外国留学的4个好处。

【1】根据上文 “I lived abroad for more than four years.”然后接着讲出过留学的好处。因此，空缺部分应该是对自己国外求学经历的一个评价，由此可知C项It was and still is the biggest adventure in my life.（它过去是，现在仍然是我生命中最大的冒险。）切题。故选C项。

【2】根据上文“Improve your job chances”可知，国外留学经历有助于人们找工作。由此可知，G项Experience abroad will give you an advantage over other applicants in the job market.（在国外的经历将使你在就业市场上比其他求职者更有优势。）切题。故选G项。

【3】此空位于段首。是段落的主题句。因其他各段首句均为祈使句，因此，把答案锁定在A、B、D。第三段全段论述出国留学虽不易，但能促进个人成长。因此这段应该是鼓励别人离开家到国外留学，以锻炼自己。故选A项。

【4】此空位于段末，是对整段话的总结。本段论述国外求学虽然不易，但能留下终生的回忆。从上文的will be difficult times, don’t understand, nothing makes sense等表述，可知下文应该与上文构成转折关系，故选F项。

【5】根据上文You are forced to make decisions by yourself , 可知接着应该讲自己该如何做，同时也能与下文的show them that… 呼应。故选D项。

七选五阅读题，有部分题出现在每一段的开始位置，若问题在段首，通常是段落主题句。认真阅读该段落，根据段落一致性原则，查找相关词或者同义词，从而推测出主题句，找到答案。本题第3小题，是段落的主题句。因其他各段首句均为祈使句，因此，把答案锁定在A、B、D。第三段全段论述出国留学虽不易，但能促进个人成长。因此这段应该是鼓励别人离开家到国外留学，以锻炼自己。因此，选A。
