Culture shock refers to the anxiety and feelings (of surprise, uncertainty, confusion, etc.) felt when people have to operate within a different and unknown cultural or social environment, such as a foreign country.

Generally speaking, we could say that there are four stages of culture shock. The first stage is called “the honeymoon”. In this stage, you are excited about living in a different place. ___1.__

The next stage is “the hostility(敌意) stage”. In this stage, you begin to notice not everything is as good as you originally thought it was. ___2.___ Moreover, people don’t treat you like a guest anymore.

Then you come to the third stage called “recovery”. In this stage, you start to feel more positive. ___3._ The whole situation starts to become more favorable and begin to learn to adapt yourself to it.

The last stage of culture shock is called “adjustment”. In this stage, you have reached a point where you actually feel good. ___4.__ The things that originally made you feel uncomfortable or stranger are now things that you understand. Now you have adjusted to the new culture and you feel comfortable.

Not all individuals visiting another country will experience all the four stages. ___5.___ It also occurs within cultures as individuals move from place to place or from one setting to another (e.g., from high school to college).

【解析】

试题分析：文章介绍了文化冲击的四个阶段及每个阶段的具体表现和原因。

1.G 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据第二段中“The first stage is called ‘the honeymoon’.In this stage, you are excited about living in a different place” 可知，在被称为“蜜月期”的第一阶段，你会对生活在一个新地方感觉很兴奋。感觉周围的每个人对你都很友好。G项符合语境，故选G。

2.D 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据第三段中的“The next stage is ‘the hostility stage’. In this stage, you begin to notice not everything is as good as you originally thought it was.”可知，在被称为“排斥期”的第二阶段，你开始注意到在新文化中一切并不像你原来想像得那么美好。人们也不再把你当客人对待了，伴随而来的应该是对新文化的失落和厌倦。D项符合语境。故选D。

3.B 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据第四段中“Then you come to the third stage called ‘recovery’. In this stage, you start to feel more positive.”可知，接下来你进入了被称为“恢复期”的第三阶段，你开始感觉比较积极（对待身边事物）；整个局面开始变得比较有利，你开始学会了让自己去适应局面。你开始了解一切你不理解的东西，B项符合语境。故选B。

4.E 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据第五段中的“The last stage of culture shock is called ‘adjustment’. In this stage, you have reached a point where you actually feel good.”可知，在被称为“调整期”的文化冲击的最后阶段，你实际上已经感觉不错了。现在你理解了起初让你感觉不舒适或奇怪的东西为什么会感觉不错，原因是为理解新文化你学了足够多的东西。E项符合语境。故选E。

5. 考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据最后一段中的“Not all individuals visiting another country will experience all these four stages.”可知，上述四个阶段也发生在一个文化的内部，文化冲击并不只是局限于那些出国的人。C项符合语境。故选C。

考点：考查对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。

【名师点睛】

关于七选五的做题步骤：

1、通读全文，对文章进行快速浏览，寻找主题句，抓住文章结构及文章的写作内容。在阅读过程中，要注意文章的开始与结束段落，尤其是文章的首段及末段末句，因为“开门见山”与“结尾总结”的写作方式为常见的写作方式，首段的末句一般是是全文的主题所在，说明本文将探讨哪些内容，并简要指出文章的写作思路，有时甚至会以提纲的形式进行呈现。首段的末句对于快速掌握文章的主题有重要意义。

2、详读段落，在短时间内，找出每段写作内容的关键词。明确各段的主题句或主旨大意。文章正文部分通常分为若干小段落。各段落会根据整体文章写作主题展开，对文章主体进行的不同方面的描述。找出各个小段落中的关键词，明确其描述内容，为整体试题的解决做好铺垫。阅读各个空的前后句，标记关键词，关键词包括句中的核心名词或名词词组（如带有形容词的名词词组）、专有名词、时间数字、代词、连词等。重点阅读各个问题附近的句子，圈定线索词，然后从选项中寻找相关的特征词，以确定答案。做题时可以采用代入排除法。如果一题做不出或拿不准，可先放过，继续往下读，先做容易的能做出的题，直到读完整篇文章。至此，文章的要点和主旨

3、定位选项，明确各备选选项的含义，抓住其关键词语，根据文章整体结构与具体内容，将选项填入文中，填写时尤为注意各选项中出现的句子衔接手段及句中的衔接标志词。在定位选项时，要特别注意空格上下段的写作内容，以及空格上段尾句和下段首句的结构和意义。将所选项放入空白处，看看是否与上下文构成语义及逻辑上的直接关系，是否符合该处语境。能否承接前后的写作线索。使文章无论内容还是衔接上都能做到通顺。

4、通读复检，将所选答案代入文中，再次通读全文，重点考查逻辑关系和关联结构。

在完成选项定位后，应通读全文，检查文章内容是否完整，语义是否连贯合理、各段落内容是否紧扣主题，语篇结构是否通顺连贯、具有一致性、合乎逻辑，写作思路是否清晰明了，格式以及用语是否恰当贴切，从而判断选择的答案是否正确。同时，我们还应注意对相近选项的对比分析，个别干扰项由于与某个正确选项的内容相近具有很强的干扰性，这时就需要我们认真分析，排除干扰，从而得出正确选项。

5、确定排除，研究多余选项，确定排除理由，最终确定答案。
