题目内容
20．Most people who move to a foreign country or culture may experience a period of time when they feel very homesick and have a lot of stress．This feeling is often called‘culture shock'（56）G There are four general stages of cultural adjustment．The first stage is usually referred to as the excitement stage．Upon arriving in a new environment，you'll be interested in the new culture，everything will seem exciting，everyone will seem friendly and helpful and you'll be overwhelmed（不知所措） with impressions．（57）．Cand you have little meaningful experience of the culture．
The second stage is sometimes called the withdrawal stage．The excitement you felt before changes to frustration （沮丧）as you find it difficult to deal with the problems that arise．simple things like shopping and going to the bank are challenges．It is at this stage that you are likely to feel anxious homesick．（58）B
Culture shock doesn't exist long．You gradually get into the‘recovery'stage．At this point，you'll have a routine，and you'll feel less lonely as you start to understand and accept the way things are done and the way people behave in your new environment．Customs and traditions are clearer and easier to understand．（59）F
The last stage is the‘home'stage-this is the point when people start to feel at home in the new culture．
There is a fifth stage to this process．If you decide to return home after a long period in a new culture，you may experience what is called‘reverse culture shock'．（60）E you may notice things about your home culture that you had never noticed before，and some of the ways people do things may seem strange．
A．It is a great challenge to learn the totally new culture．
B．This is the stage which is referred to as"culure shock"
C．During this stage you are taking in these impressions passively
D．Some people experience"culture shock"more sharply than others．
E．This means that you may find aspects of your own culture"foreign"
F．At this stage，you'll deal with new challenges with humor rather than anxiety．
G．It's important to learn how to deal with it if you're to adapt to the new culture．
分析 大多数人当搬到一个新的国家或身处一个新的文化中时，会经历一段思乡的时刻，会非常焦虑．这种时期通常会分为四个阶段，这篇文章将一一为你讲述．
解答 GCBFE
56．G 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力．根据下一句的There are four general stages of cultural adjustment．可知，文章将会为你一一讲述这个时期，故选择G，意为：如果你想适应一个新的文化，了解如何对待这一时期是非常重要的．
57．C 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力．根据上一句的you'll be overwhelmed（不知所措） with impressions．可知选择C，意为在这段时期你将会被动地吸收这些印象．
58．B 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力．根据下文的Culture shock doesn't exist long．可知此处选择B，意为这一时期被称作Culture shock，和下文正好呼应．
59．F 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力．根据上文内容可知，在这一阶段你会逐渐适应，再根据上一句Customs and traditions are clearer and easier to understand，故选择F，开始适应当地的文化而非焦虑．
60．E 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力．根据下文的and some of the ways people do things may seem strange．可知，当你回到自己的家乡你会觉得人们做事的方式有点奇怪，故选择E，意为你会发现自己的文化有点陌生．
点评 七选五阅读是完成性阅读，和完形填空很类似，不同的是一个选词，一个选句子．解题时，要注意上下文语境，充分考虑信息词（选项中和空格前后句子中相同或相近的词），选出最符合语境的句子．
