D.Thebestwaytoovercomecultureshock:getfamiliarwiththenewculture.答案：1-3BDc解析：1.本题考查根据文章细节进行判断的能力。根据文章第四段第四句“Theywanttoprotectthemselvesforthestrangeenvironment,andcreateanescapeinsidetheirroomforasenseofsecurity.”可知想家不会加重文化冲击，人们因为想家而做出的举动还能暂时缓解文化冲击。由第二段可知其他三个因素都能引起文化冲击。2.本题考查对文章细节进行认定的能力。根据文章第三段第二句“Veryoftenthepeoplehavingtheworstcultureshockarethosewhoneverhadanydifficultiesintheirhomecountriesandweresuccessfulintheircommunity.”可知最能感受到文化冲击的人是在家乡及社会团体中最成功的人，因为他们一切都要从头开始。3.本题考查归纳概括文章某一段落主旨大意的能力。本段首句指出了文化冲击会让人产生迷惘（想家）的感觉，接着作者介绍并否定那些人的解决方法，最后一句“Gettingtoknowthenewenvironmentandgainingexperience—thesearethelong-termsolutionstotheproblemofcultureshock.”作者建议人们去很快地熟悉新文化、新环境，获取经验，这才是克服文化冲击最好的方法。A、B项知只是作者用来阐明自己建议的材料；C项表述有误。16.—YouwereoutwhenIdroppedinatyourhouse.

—Yes，hedid．He_____hisoldfriendsforages．A．didn’tseeB．wouldn’tseeC．hasn’tseenD．hadn’tseen答案：D解析：剖析：从forages可知，此句应该用完成时态；Alan见到他的老朋友是在昨天，那么他很久没有见到他的老朋友指的是昨天之前，因此要用过去完成时态。答案为D.26.He______thejobwell,buthe______socareless.A．haddone;hadbeenB．coulddo;wasC．couldhavedone;wasD．hadn’tdone;hadbeen答案：C解析：选C。答题的关键在于抓住句中的but，but后面的句子是对过去事实的陈述，应用一般过去时；前面的句子则表示“本来能够……”，是对过去事情的推断，因此应用couldhavedone，句意为“他本来能够做好那工作，但他太粗心了。”27.Steppingintoanoldwardrobe,fourEnglishschoolchildrenfindthemselvesinthemagicalworldofNarnia.Onthisdelightfulland,theyfindfriendsamongthemanytalkingcreatures.
