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.
People may not move to the third phase, recovery, if they

选项 A、are not capable of changing their unsuitable personalities.
B、give up and cannot view the situation from a realistic viewpoint.
C、cannot grasp the nonverbal behaviors of the new environment.
D、stick with the unhappiness and deal with it realistically.

答案B

解析 如果人们——,可能就不会到第三个阶段“调整阶段”。[A]不能改变自己不合时宜的个性[B]放弃且不能从现实的角度看待自己的处境[C]不能抓住新环境里非语言的行为方式[D]总是不快乐并且很现实地处理不开心的事根据题干中的关键词move to the third phase,recovery,可以在第二段倒数第一句话中找到解答本题的相关信息。原文指出:坚持下去并且脚踏实地处理种种不愉快的情况,就可以过渡到下一阶段。由此可以推断出:如果你不能坚持下去,不能脚踏实地地处理种种不愉快的情况,就不会进人调整阶段,所以本题也就是把if这个条件状语从句的内容变为否定的,这正是[B]的内容。[A]的内容文章并未提及.[C]是一个所答非所问的干扰项;[D]错在原文中的stick with的宾语是theexperience,而不是unhappiness,而且后半句也没有变成否定的形式。
