Neither do they know the customs or understand the peoples behaviour in daily lives.Quite often the visitors find that “yes” may not always mean “yes”, that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship, or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes. The foreigners may be unsure as to when to shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The idea of culture shock helps explain feelings of puzzlement and confusion.Language problems do not lead to all the setbacks that people feel. When one has lost everything that was once familiar, such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register for university classes, or knowing how to make friends, difficulties in coping with the new society may arise.When an individual enters a strange culture, he or she feels like a fish out of water. Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture. When this happens, visitors may want to refuse everything about the new environment and may glorify and sing their own praises of the positive aspects of their own culture. On the other side, more visitors may sneeze at their native country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it.4. What do people feel when they are suddenly in a new culture?A. Excited.B. Delighted.C. Upset. D. Hopeless.5. What can we infer from the second paragraph?A. Its impossible to get used to a new culture.B. People feel confused due to culture shock.C. Foreigners often dont mean what they say.D. Most foreigners are usually quite humorous.6. What does the underlined expression “he or she feels like a fish out of water” in the last paragraph suggest?A. People away from their cultures can hardly survive in a new culture.B. A fish cannot survive without water.C. People away from their cultures experience mental loneliness.D. People away from their cultures want nothing to do with their native country.7. What is the biggest barrier(障碍) people often meet with in a new country?A. The language. B. The transportation.C. The environment. D. The puzzlement.第二节根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Choosing to Study OverseasEvery year, thousands of students choose to study in another country for a semester, the summer, or a year.

The hardest part of working abroad isnt finding a place to stay or learning the language. Its learning to overcome culture shock. The anthropologist Kalvero Oberg first coined the term “culture shock”. He reported that culture shock is caused by the anxiety that results from losing all our familiar signs and symbols of social communication while living and working in another culture.These things are part of everyday life, and include many signs, gestures, facial expressions, and customs. When we enter a new culture, these cues(提示) are usually not present or so different that theyre no longer understandable to us.“When a person enters a foreign culture,” wrote Oberg, “all or most of these familiar cues are eliminated. He or she is like a fish out of water. No matter how broad-minded he or she may be, lots of props(支柱) have been knocked out from under him or her.”This is what happened to Lara, a young IT consultant(顾问) from America who moved last year to their company in southern Europe. Three weeks after she arrived in Europe, Lara sent a desperate email begging to return home. “The people are so unfriendly,” Lara wrote. “They eat at strange hours and Im starting to get allergic(过敏的) to the local food. I cant get anything done because their way of doing business is so disorganised and so inefficient and I have a terrible skin itch because of the water. I want to come home!”What Lara and other IT consultants meet on their first assignment abroad is culture shock. While you cant prevent culture shock from happening, you can take some measures to cut down its effects.1. What is the most difficult part for a foreign student?A. Entering a famous school.B. Finding a right place to live.C. Adapting to the local culture.D. Learning the foreign language.2. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “eliminated” in paragraph 3?A. Solved.B. Measured.C. Observed. D. Removed.3. Why does the author describe Laras experience?A. To tell us how she manages to work well.B. To explain to us what culture shock is.C. To show us how to adapt to culture shock.D. To show us where well meet with culture shock. 完形填空。For the past two years I have been travelling and living abroad. 1 has become more of a feeling than a place.
