Question

【題目】閱讀理解。

Specialists say it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture．“Culture shock”is the term these specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment．There are three stages of culture shock, say the specialists．In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment．Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else．In the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surrounding and, as a result, enjoy their life more．

There are some obvious factors（因素）in culture shock．The weather may be unpleasant．The customs may be different．The public service systems-the telephones, post office, or transportation－may be difficult to work out．The simplest things seem to be big problems．The language may be difficult．

Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that．But culture shock surprises most people．Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their community．Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions．They find themselves without any identify（身份）．They have to build a new self－image．

Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation（迷失方向）．This feeling may be homesickness．When homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time．They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create an escape inside their room for a sense of security（安全）．This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short time, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture．Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience－these are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock．

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】D

【4】A

【解析】

試題分析：

【1】細節(jié)理解，分析文章的第一段內容可以得知，要克服文化沖擊必須經歷三個階段，可知這是一個艱難的過程，故該題應選D。

【2】推理判斷，根據第三段中的Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions．They find themselves without any identify．They have to build a new self－image，可推斷越是成功的人，就越覺得自己的身份位置重要，也許就越難以適應。故選B。

【3】細節(jié)理解，根據第二段中對各類不同的文化沖擊的因素的分析，可知沒有提到homesickness，故選D正確。

【4】細節(jié)理解，根據文章的最后一句Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience－these are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock，可知要克服文化沖擊的最有效的方法就是要適應，因此A選項的表述與此句的意思一致，故選A。
