问题     Kalvero Oberg describes four stages that people go through when they experience situations that are very different from those to which they are accustomed. Stage one is a honeymoon phase, during which the new experience is perceived to be interesting, picturesque, entertaining, and charming. You may notice several superficial differences such as music, food, and clothing, and the fresh appeal of the new experience keeps you feeling interested and positive.
    When you stay in a new environment for a while, you move to stage two—the crisis stage—in which the shine wears off and day-to-day realities sink in. In a relationship, you notice annoying habits; in a new country, you find barriers to establishing connections or to learning the language beyond a few polite phrases. Suddenly, your new major includes a class or a professor you dislike. The difficulties and unpleasantness of reality replace the charming and picturesque "honeymoon". However, if you stick with the experience and try to deal with it realistically, you will probably move to the third phase of culture shock: recovery.
    In recovery, you learn the systems, procedures, language, or nonverbal behaviors of the new environment so that you can cope with it on the basis of some mastery, competence, and comfort. After about two weeks in London, I began to feel familiar with traveling by "tube", paying in the correct currency, and using some phrases that are unique to English people. I had the advantage of speaking the same basic language and of sharing a great deal with the English in some broad, cultural aspects. In a country that was very different from my own, it would probably have taken me longer to move into the recovery phase.
    Finally, the fourth, or adjustment, phase occurs when you feel that you function well and almost automatically in the new culture. You no longer need to make mental conversions of the country’s money and it is relatively easy for you to adjust to social customs. A greater enjoyment of the new experience is now possible, and you may regain some of the initial positive regard you had in the honeymoon stage. If you stay long enough on a visit from a big city to a small town, or, the other way round, you may become so well adapted to the new environment that when you return to your original home, you will again experience culture shock.
It can be inferred from the text that when one moves to a new environment, his adaptation process is

选项 A、happy, sad, familiar, and enjoying.
B、positive, comfortable, happy and enthusiastic.
C、happy, upset, unique, and advocating.
D、unhappy, upset, comfortable and positive.

答案A

解析 从文中可以推断出,当一个人来到新环境时,他的适应过程是[A]快乐、悲伤、熟悉和享受。[B]积极、舒适、快乐和热情。[C]快乐、烦恼、独特和拥护。[D]不快乐、烦恼、舒适和积极。此题需要我们在理解全文的基础上才可作答。文章讲述了文化冲击的四个阶段及其特点:蜜月阶段,人们对于事物的感觉是新鲜的,所以情绪应该是高涨的;在危机阶段,一切不习惯的现实都显现出来,所以人的情绪是悲伤的;在调整阶段,通过学习,也感到自如了,对周围环境也比较熟悉了;在适应阶段,对新经历产生一股巨大的喜悦再次成为可能,所以此阶段人们的心绪也是快乐的,这正符合[A]。
