阅读五选四【主题：人与自我　作为“外国人”的亲身经历】
Some of the dictionary definitions(定义) of the word “foreigner” say that it is someone who is “an alien to the country”， or “a person from outside one's community”. I have travelled to many countries and, yes, I have experienced being that kind of foreigner all over the world.
But sometimes, I experience this in my home country, too.1.________ After spending 25 months abroad, I came back to London, knowing it wouldn't be easy. The first few times I went to my home church, I heard people saying in secret, “2.________”
This was the church where I gave some time and energy over a few years, and where someone used to know me.3.________ All I wanted to do was to turn around and leave.
While for my friends, not much had changed, for me it felt like everything had. And no one seemed to notice at first, but nothing came naturally to me.
I was a foreigner in my own home church.
After one year, I adjusted(适应) quite well. Although there were things I struggled(斗争) with or disliked, there weren't many things that made me feel foreign any more.
4．________ And while many more examples come to my mind, I think about what exactly makes a foreigner. The answer is—what really makes a foreigner is the pressure that comes with the need of feeling natural.
A．Now I'm sitting here and writing this article.
B．I refused to talk with my friends and family.
C．And that makes me feel even more like a foreigner.
D．That's him.
E．However, this time I walked in, and I felt I didn't know anyone or anything.

【语篇解读】本文讲述了作者作为 “外国人” 的亲身经历与感悟。
1．C　解析：根据“But sometimes, I experienced this in my home country, too.”以及结合下文可知，此处描写作者在自己的祖国也有过这样被当作“外国人”的经历。选项C“那让我感觉自己更像是一个外国人”符合语境，故选C。
2．D　解析：根据“After spending 25 months abroad, I came back to London, knowing it wouldn't be easy. The first few times I went to my home church, I heard people saying in secret”可知，空处应是指作者听到的人们私下议论的内容，选项D “那就是他” 符合语境，故选D。
3．E　解析：根据“This was the church where I gave some time and energy over a few years, and where someone used to know me...All I wanted to do was to turn around and leave.”可知，作者曾在这个教堂投入了很多时间和精力，以前有人认识他，但现在他只想转身离开。选项E“然而，这次我走进去，感觉我不认识任何人或任何事”与前文形成转折，符合语境，故选E。
4．A　解析：根据“After one year, I adjusted(适应) quite well.”和“And while many more examples come to my mind”可知，作者经过一年的调整，适应得很好，并且作者此时想到了更多的例子。选项A“现在我坐在这里写这篇文章”承接上文，并引出下文作者的思考，故选A。
