Question

【題目】 Do you think studying in a different country is something that sounds very exciting? Certainly, it is a new experience. However, there are also some problems you will meet. Because you may have difficulty getting used to a new culture. This is culture shock .

Actually, at least four main periods of culture-shock appear. The first period is called “the honeymoon ( 蜜月)”. In this period, you feel excited about living in a different place, and everything seems to be fun. You like everything, and everybody seems to be so nice to you. Also, the happy life in a new culture seems as if it will have no ending.

However, the second period of culture shock appears. This is the “enemy period”. You get to notice that not everything is as good as you had thought it was. You become tired of many things about the new culture. Besides, people don’t treat you as a guest anymore. Everything that seemed to be so wonderful before is now terrible.

After you deal with your enemy feelings, you come to the third period called “getting good again”. In this period, you will feel more active, and you try to develop understanding of everything you don’t understand. The whole situation becomes better; you feel well from the symptoms of the first two periods, and you adapt yourself to the new values and traditions of the new country. You get to see that even the culture is different from your own, it has something that you can learn from.

The last period of culture shock is called “nature”. In this period, you have reached a point where you actually feel good because you have learned enough to understand the new culture. The things that made you feel uncomfortable or strange are now things that you understand. Now you feel comfortable, and you have adapt yourself to the new culture.

In fact, culture shock is something you must experience when living in a foreign country. It does not seem like a very useful experience when you are going through its four periods. However, when you have got used to a new culture, you can more fully enjoy it. You learn how to communicate with other people, and learning about other cultures helps you learn more about yourself.

【解析】

去國(guó)外學(xué)習(xí)好像是一個(gè)很令人興奮的經(jīng)歷，但經(jīng)歷不同的文化也會(huì)給你帶來(lái)很多問(wèn)題和麻煩，這就是文化沖擊。短文中分析了文化沖擊的四個(gè)階段，并告訴我們經(jīng)歷了這四個(gè)階段，習(xí)慣了一種新的文化，你就可以更充分地享受它，而且了解其他文化也有助于了解自己。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段“Do you think studying in a different country is something that sounds very exciting? Certainly, it is a new experience. However, there are also some problems you will meet. Because you may have difficulty getting used to a new culture.”可知，在國(guó)外學(xué)習(xí)時(shí)，你會(huì)感覺(jué)非常興奮，同時(shí)也會(huì)遇到一些問(wèn)題。故選C。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段“In this period, you feel excited about living in a different place, and everything seems to be fun. You like everything, and everybody seems to be so nice to you. Also, the happy life in a new culture seems as if it will have no ending.”可知，這一段介紹的是文化沖擊的第一個(gè)階段——蜜月期，在這個(gè)階段，你會(huì)感覺(jué)國(guó)外的一切永遠(yuǎn)都會(huì)是好的。故選D。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“This is the ‘enemy period’. You get to notice that not everything is as good as you had thought it was. You become tired of many things about the new culture. Besides, people don’t treat you as a guest anymore. Everything that seemed to be so wonderful before is now terrible.”可知，第二個(gè)階段是“敵對(duì)期”，你厭倦了很多事情，感覺(jué)一切都很糟糕。A選項(xiàng)“厭煩的，煩人的”符合這一時(shí)期的感受，故選A。

【4】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)語(yǔ)境“you feel well from the symptoms of the first two periods, and you adapt yourself to the new values and traditions of the new country.”“你從前兩個(gè)階段的……中感覺(jué)良好，使自己使用 這個(gè)新的價(jià)值觀念和傳統(tǒng)”。A“影響”；B“疾病”；C“改變”；D“區(qū)別，不同”。結(jié)合語(yǔ)境可知A選項(xiàng)符合文意，故選A。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文意可知，短文分析了文化沖擊的四個(gè)階段，以及每個(gè)階段的感受，了解了這些，我們就可以更好地調(diào)節(jié)自己，使自己更好、更快地適應(yīng)新的環(huán)境。D選項(xiàng)“如何應(yīng)對(duì)生活在新文化中的沖擊”符合文章的寫(xiě)作目的，故選D。

這是一篇說(shuō)明文，短文介紹了什么是文化沖擊以及文化沖擊的四個(gè)階段。文章主題明確，結(jié)構(gòu)清晰，是總分總的結(jié)構(gòu)，有利于學(xué)生們把握文章主旨。短文篇幅較長(zhǎng)，有一定的生詞和一些長(zhǎng)難句，在理解上有一定的難度。題型是閱讀理解，題目設(shè)置了細(xì)節(jié)理解、詞義猜測(cè)和推理判斷，考查比較全面。做題時(shí)，應(yīng)先通讀短文，尤其注意首段首尾句和尾段首尾句，這是文章主旨句經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的位置，這樣可有利于快速把握文章話題和主旨大意。然后根據(jù)題目所問(wèn)，鎖定關(guān)鍵詞，在原文進(jìn)行定位，并綜合選項(xiàng)信息作答。如第2小題和第3小題，可由題干中的paragraph 2和the second period定位到短文的第二段和第三段，再?gòu)倪@兩段中尋找具體的信息選擇答案。
