B(2025·江苏南京联合体期末)
Most people who move to a foreign country may experience a period of time when they feel very homesick and have a lot of worries. This feeling is often called "culture shock(冲击)". It is important to understand it and learn what to do with it if you want to adapt to your new home's culture successfully.

Generally speaking, there are four stages(阶段) that you will experience after you move to a foreign country. The first stage is usually called the "excitement" stage. When you are in a new environment, you'll be interested in the new culture. Everything may seem exciting and everyone may seem friendly.
But it won't be long before you move from the "excitement" stage to the second stage. The excitement you felt at first turns into worry. It seems that everything is difficult. The language is hard to learn, friends are difficult to make, and even simple things like shopping have become a difficult problem. It is at this "stress" stage that you may feel worried and homesick: This is the stage which is called "culture shock".
However, culture shock doesn't last for very long. If you are one of those who manage to get through it, you will move to the "recovery(恢复)" stage. At this stage, you start to understand and accept the way things are done and the way people behave in your new environment.
The last stage is the "home" stage. This is the stage when you start to feel at home in the new culture. You start to learn from your new home and to like some ways of the new culture better.
Culture shock is common. Everyone in a new situation will go through it. Continue to be brave! And getting through culture shock will be a piece of cake.

解析:
【分析】
这是一篇介绍文化冲击四个发展阶段的说明文,解题时首先要通读全文梳理清楚四个阶段各自的特征和先后顺序,再针对每道题的题干要求回到原文对应段落定位关键信息:第4题直接查找文化冲击对应的阶段描述;第5题结合上下文语境推断划线短语的含义,匹配同义选项;第6题将题干给出的事件对应到四个不同阶段,按照阶段先后排序即可;第7题针对最后一段内容逐一比对选项,排除不符合原文表述的错误选项,选出合理推断的结果。
【解析】
4. 定位到文章第三段最后一句:“It is at this "stress" stage that you may feel worried and homesick: This is the stage which is called "culture shock".”,明确说明文化冲击对应的就是“压力”阶段,因此选B。
5. 划线短语所在句意为“如果你想要成功适应你新家园的文化,理解它并且学会如何应对它是很重要的”,结合上下文语境,此处表达的是适应、习惯新文化的含义,A选项get used to意为“习惯于、适应”,和短语含义一致;B选项get tired of厌烦,C选项have trouble with有困难,D选项look forward to期待,均不符合语境,因此选A。
6. 对应文章的四个阶段:首先是“兴奋”阶段,对应事件③大学里的一切都很新鲜;接下来进入“压力”阶段,对应事件①Jane课上还不太懂德语;之后进入“恢复”阶段,对应事件②半年努力后Jane没有语言障碍了;最后进入“home”阶段,对应事件④Jane喜欢和德国朋友共度美好时光,正确顺序为③①②④,因此选B。
7. 分析最后一段内容:A选项“文化冲击对所有人来说都很容易度过”表述绝对,原文只是说保持勇敢的话度过它是小事,并非所有人都天然容易;B选项“人们在新国家应该避免文化冲击”原文没有提及;D选项“只有少部分人会经历文化冲击”和原文“Everyone in a new situation will go through it”表述矛盾;由“Continue to be brave! And getting through culture shock will be a piece of cake.”可以推断出,保持勇敢能够帮助人们应对文化冲击,C选项表述正确,因此选C。
