37、tatements that appear to be serious are really jokes.The foreigners may be unsure as to when to shake hands,when to start conversations,or how to approach a stranger.The idea of culture shock helps explain the feelings of puzzlement.Language problems do not account for all the difficulty that people

43、e hands,when to start conversations,or how to approach a stranger.The idea of culture shock helps explain the feelings of puzzlement.”可知,外地人可能不确定什么时候握手,什么时候开始交谈,或者如何与陌生人打交道,文化冲击有助于解释这种困惑的感觉。据此可以判断,由于文化冲击,人们常常会感到困惑,故B项正确。26.Whats the biggest problem people often meet with in a new country?A.The langu

47、 than first-borns to behave badly,which could be why you from time to time consider your younger brothers or sisters sprites.Researchers,who explored data from tens of thousands of sibling(兄弟姐妹) pairs from Denmark and Florida,found second-borns are 20% to 40% more likely to have behavioral problems.
48、If youre the second-born child you may want to have a little chat with your parents.The reason why second-born siblings may be worse behaved than first-borns is that parents tend to pay less attention to them.“Second-born children tend to have less attention from the mother than their older siblings
49、 because first-born children experience their mothers maternity leave (产假).First-borns enjoy the rewards of not only their own time with Mum following their birth,but the time Mum takes off with younger siblings,too,” the authors explain.Its not just about the parents,however.Speaking to NRP,co-auth
50、or Joseph Doyle said,“The first-born has role models,who are adults.And the second,later-born children have role models who are slightly unreasonable 2-year-olds,you know,their older siblings.The difference of parental investments and the sibling influences probably contribute to these differences w

53、hat influences the second-born childrens behavior?A.Challenges of their elder siblings.B.Fewer chances of talking with others.C.More family problems they are faced with.D.The amount of attention they receive from parents.答案:D解析细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The reason why second-born siblings may be worse behaved th

55、ings problemsD.affect the parental investment and the labor market participation答案:C解析推理判断题。根据第五段Joseph Doyle所说的话可知,不只是父母对二胎孩子的关注度会对他们的行为有一定的影响,家里比他们大的哥哥姐姐也会对他们的行为有一定的影响,故C项正确。31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Why the second-born tend to be misbehavedB.How parents improv
56、e family relationshipsC.Social policy guides family educationD.Parents prefer first-born kids答案:A解析主旨大意题。本文是一篇说明文。研究表明,由于没有得到像父母给予第一个出生的孩子那样的关注,二胎孩子常常表现不好。文章就此现象进行了科学的解释。DFor all those who agree with Neil Gaimans motto in American Gods that “a town isnt a town without a bookstore,”what might be the
