emacs does not inherit the current dir from the shell you launch it.
when you start a shell in emacs, the current path is the same as the
current buffer's file if there's one. For example, when you are in
emacs, if the current buffer is a file at ~/dir1/dir2, or the current
buffer is dired at ~/dir/dir2, then when you do Alt+x shell, your
shell starts in that dir.
