【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。作者分析了独自旅行的好处。

【1】根据上文中的" Most people like traveling with friends or families"可知大部分人喜欢和朋友或者家人一起旅行。下文中的"Here are some advantages of traveling alone"可知独自旅行也有一些好处。承上启下，空处应该引出话题“独自旅行”，C项（然而，独自旅行是个好主意）切题，故选C项。

【2】此空是小标题。本段内容主要是介绍独自旅行有更多的自由，故选A项。

【3】此段的小标题是"Gaining more confidence，strength and learning new skills"（获得更多自信，力量和技能）。此段中前面已经提到了confidence和strength，所以此空应该与获得技能有关。G项（当你独自旅行时，你也可以学到很多技能，例如，制定计划。）切题，故选G。G项中的"When traveling on your own"与上文中的"When you travel alone"句式一致。

【4】根据上文In order to know more about the places you are traveling to, you have to communicate with strangers. In this way, you can know more people.可知独自旅行可以认识更多的人。根据下文Instead, the guide or your group members will talk with you all the way.可知相反，导游或你的小组成员会全程与你交谈。根据语境，空处应该是关于团队旅行的，与独自旅行形成对比。承上启下，F项（如果你结伴旅行，你就很少需要和陌生人交流。）切题，故选F。

【5】根据本段小标题"Finding out your shortcomings"及全段内容可知，通过独自旅行，你可以发现自己的不足之处，独自旅行过后，你会改掉缺点，变得更出色。E项中的"discover your disadvantages"与本段小标题呼应。故选E项。
