The other day I announced that I would go abroad for further studies right after my college education. My decision evoked (引起) the immediate objection of my family: Why? Why should I borrow a huge sum of money for overseas studies while I might receive the same education at home at a relatively low cost? My answer is: In addition to knowledge, I can gain experience that those who stay at home will never have.
First, experience is the opportunity for the real-life use of foreign languages. While a person can study a foreign language at home, the effect can never be compared with constant use of the language in academic and everyday life. There is no better opportunity to improve second-language skills than living in the country in which it is spoken. Living in English-speaking countries such as America and Australia for several years, for example, my English will be as perfect as native speakers.
Second, living and studying abroad offers me a different perspective on the world. On a university campus, foreign students are likely to encounter their counterparts (对应的人或物) from different countries and areas and are exposed to different ideas and values. This helps me to have a meaningful understanding of different societies and inevitably see my own country in a new light.
Third, overseas experience, frustrating and painful as it may be, is helpful. A person going abroad for study often experiences much more difficulties—difficulties in adapting to a new culture and in dealing with all problems alone. Yet, the difficulty, coupled with the frustration brought on by culture shock, is a rewarding experience for one’s future life and development of personality.
Although going abroad is expensive and perhaps painful, the payoff is worthwhile. For the benefit is not merely knowledge gained, but the experience desirable in one’s personal life. [br] According to the author, the main trouble people encounter in overseas study is to______.
选项
A、be accustomed to the new life there all by themselves
B、experience frustration and pain
C、cope with all kinds of difficulties
D、get reward from the culture shock
答案
A
解析
第四段第二句指出,去国外学习的人通常情况下会经历更多困难——这些困难就是适应新的文化并且要独自一人处理所有问题。由此可知,A)提到的“独自一人适应新生活”最接近原文的意思,是该句的同义表述。解这个题的关键在于知道adapt to和be accustomed to两个短语表达一个意思,都是“适应”的意思。
