问题     Culture shock is the result of the removal of the familiar. Suddenly the individual is faced with the necessity of working, commuting, studying, eating, shopping, relaxing, even sleeping, in an unfamiliar environment organized according to unknown rules. In mild form, culture shock shows itself in symptoms(症状) of fatigue , irritability(易怒) and impatience. Being unable to interpret the situations in which they find themselves, people often believe they are being deliberately deceived or exploited by host -country nationals. They tend to perceive (感觉,觉察到) rudeness where none is intended. Their efficiency and flexibility is often impaired and both work and family suffer. Some people may respond by developing negative stereotypes (老一套)of the host culture, by refusing to learn the language and by mixing exclusively (排外地,专有地) with people of their own cultural background. In extreme cases, rejection may be so complete that the individual returns immediately to their own culture, regardless of the cost in social, economic or personal terms. Alternatively, people may retreat into their own private world, either mentally or physically.  
What is the main idea of this passage?

选项 A、How to deal with culture shock.
B、The definition(定义) of culture shock.
C、The symptoms(症状) and damage of culture shock.
D、The people with culture shock.

答案B

解析 主旨大意题。因为该题四个题干都提到了本文关键词culture shock,所以 这里最好甩排除法。关于A项,文中并未提到如何应对文化冲突;而C项中的文化冲突带来的严重损害文中也未涉及;D项有文化冲突的人更是只字未提。而B项为文化冲突的定义,正是本文论述所在,故选其为最佳答案。
