问题     There are some problem areas for international students and immigrants studying in the United States. Making friends is a challenge(this is also true for some American students). Many colleges and universities offer a variety of student clubs and organizations where both foreign-born and native American students have a greater chance of meeting people with shared interests. Information about these out-of-class activities is often posted in the student center and listed in the student newspaper. Sometimes foreign students and immigrant students find Americans to be "cliquish(有派性的)".(Americans find some non-U.S.-born students to be cliquish as well.)If people feel separated from the social aspects of American college life, they should actively seek people with shared interests. It’s unlikely that students will make friends just by passing people on the campus.
    Foreign or immigrant students may feel confused during the first few weeks at a new school because they do not understand the system and are not willing to ask questions. Many students do not take advantage of the numerous services offered on campus that assist students in developing new skills and social groups. Some colleges offer students tutorial(辅导的)support in such subjects as writing, language study, computer skills, and other basic subjects. Students who appear to be most successful in ’learning the ropes" are those who can solve problems by taking the initiative to ask questions, locate resources, and experience new social situations.
The phrase "learning the ropes"(Line 6, Para. 2)is closest in meaning to _____.

选项 A、finding the way to develop new skills
B、having the skills to make conversations
C、learning how to answer questions
D、knowing how to handle problems

答案D

解析 根据题目要求定位到第二段最后一句。该句的主干为Students...are those...,句子中who appear tobe...in“learning the ropes”和who can solve problems...都是作定语从句,分别修饰Students和those,指的都是同一类人。可以判断learning the ropes的意思与solve problems(处理问题)相近,D项的handle对应solve,为正确答案。
