Question is based on the following passage.
Culture shock can be described as the feeling of confusion and disorientation (迷惘) that one experiences when faced with a large number of new and unfamiliar people and situations. Many things contribute to it – smells, sounds, flavors, the very feeling of the air one is breathing. Of course, the natives’ unfamiliar language and behavior contribute to it too. People’s responses to culture shock vary greatly, from excitement and energetic action to withdrawal, depression, physical illness, and hostility. A particular individual might react to culture shock one way one day and another the next.
The notion of culture shock calls two useful points to mind. First, most people experience some degree of culture shock when they go to a new country, whether they admit it to themselves and others or not. Culture shock is more a product of the situation of being in
a new culture than it is of the traveler’s personal character.
Second, culture shock, like other kinds of “shock”’, is normally transitory. It passes with time.
Academic analysts of the culture shock idea point out that the experience of culture shock need not be negative. While there may be some unhappiness and unpleasantness along with the confusion and disorientation, the confusion and disorientation are necessary steps in learning about a new culture. If everything in the new place is just like home, no learning will come from being there.
Which of the following best summarizes the topic of the passage?
所选答案： A. The nature of culture shock and its causes.

How men first learned to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be written down.
Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.
The power of words, then, lies in their associations – the things they bring up before our minds.
Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and effective use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears.
We should, therefore, learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar (粗俗).
The origin of language is _____________.
所选答案： B. a matter that is hidden or secret

Sabine Island, near Greenland, was first discovered and mapped by the British geographer Sir Edward Sabine in 1823, but an 1869 map showed that it was actually a quarter of a mile farther west than its discoverer had indicated. This difference set Alfred Wegener, a young geologist, in thinking. He thought the error too great to be reasoned out easily. Wegener himself took
measurements and found that since 1869 the island had moved an additional five eighths of a mile.
After checking the positions of other arctic land masses, he concluded that all of them were drifting westward at different speeds. From such date, Wegener developed his floating continents theory.
He pictured in mind an original supercontinent that hardened out of molten material making up the newborn earth; eventually the mass cracked and broke into several pieces – the present continents.
The continents do seem to fit together like pieces of a puzzle, and furthermore, some of the
mountain ranges of different continents line up rather well, as if the land masses were at one time linked. As convincing as Wegener’s argument appeared, many geologists refused to accept it, and there was heated argument. Exactly how the continents were formed is still a leading geophysical mystery, though today many geophysicists are returning to the continental drift theory.
