【解析】

试题分析: 这篇文章主要讲了在搬去纽约之前要记得做的一些事情，例如，了解纽约的历史，文化，风土人情，去纽约旅行，找一个好的邻居等。

【1】C 考查对上下文语境的理解。根据题目Things to Keep in Mind before Moving to New York City（在搬到纽约之前要记住的事）以及空后的意思是：读一些纽约的历史，事实，数据等是一个好的方法。所以这里选C（在你去任何城市之前，了解一下这个城市是最好的方法。）。

【2】F 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：在你搬去纽约之前，先参观一些地方，看看这个城市的样子；所以这里选F（旅游一下，试着想象你就住在那儿。）与上下文一致。

【3】D 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：纽约最好和最坏的事情就是这个城市是被钱控制的。空后的意思是：你需要留出一部分供自己紧急使用。所以这里选D（首先，你需要做一个预算开支。）串联上下文。

【4】E 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：如果你是因为工作搬到这个城市，那就选一个离你工作地点近的地方；空后的意思是：你是想看到你住的地方是一个安静的地方还是想住一个嘈杂的地方。所以这里选E（你需要决定你想要那种邻居。）串联上下文。

【5】B 考查对上下文语境的理解。空前的意思是：无论你走到哪儿，你都要注意安全，不要担心太多。所以这里选B（一旦你在纽约，你就不想离开了。）承接上文。
