As a combination of various races and cultures, America is home to all. The culture here is so unique that citizens can be just as proud of their original cultural heritage as they are to be Americans.What is now the US was initially inhabited by native people until the land was settled by various European groups and African slaves. Since the 20th century, the country has become a heaven for people from all over the globe.The arrival of immigrants has shifted populations from rural areas into cities because immigrants tend to settle in urban areas. At present,81 percent of the inhabitants in the US live in cities.Cultural and ethnic diversity adds a unique flavor to cities that is expressed through distinct neighborhoods, restaurants, places of worship, museums, nightlife and multicultural learning environments.Unique musical forms, such as jazz, rock and roll, Chicano music，and the blues, grow in the US by mixing a variety of culturally distinct musical traditions to create a new form.At the executive (行政的) level, the country is headed by a mixedrace president，two posts on the Supreme Court are held by members of the countrys two largest minorities. There is also diversity in state and local governments.Without its rich mixture of races and cultures, America would not be the nation that it is today. Founded upon the basis of equality and freedom，America acts as a stage where different cultures not only coexist peacefully, but develop well.1Whats the best title for this passage?AThe Effects of Culture and Diversity on AmericaBThe Influence of Globalization on AmericaCThe Political Development of AmericaDThe Bright Future of America2According to the passage，America is a country _.Athat welcomes people from all over the worldBwhere citizens take more pride in their original cultureCthat is mostly settled by Europeans and AfricansDwhere 81% of the population are immigrants3Where did most people live before many immigrants came to America?AIn the urban areas.BIn the rural areas.CIn the southern part of America.DIn the northern part of America.4We can learn from the sixth paragraph that _.Adiversity has existed in America in almost every aspectBmost posts in America state governments are help by mixedrace peopleCequality and freedom make America a fair countryDdiversity has greatly affected the American political field答案与解析：本文介绍了多元化给美国带来的一些影响。1解析：主旨大意题。通读全文，主要介绍了多元化在各个方面对美国的影响。答案：A2解析：细节理解题。根据第二段Since the 20th century, the country has become a heaven for people from all over the globe.可知应选A。答案：A3解析：细节理解题。根据第三段The arrival of immigrants has shifted populations from rural areas into cities because immigrants tend to settle in urban areas.可知，大量移民涌入美国之前，当地人大多居住在乡下。答案：B4解析：推理判断题。根据第六段内容可知，多元化对美国的政治领域有很大影响。答案：DBThe first big wave of Chinese immigration to America came when gold was discovered in California in 1848. The Chinese called the new land “Mountain of Gold”. Those who did not become miners found work in railroad construction, farming and light industries, doing low paid jobs. By the 1880s, American industrialization brought changing economic realities, resulting in an explosion of resentment (仇恨) toward the Chinese laborers. They were accused of taking jobs away from the white men. The government issued Exclusion Acts (排外法案) to stop the immigration of Chinese laborers into the United States. Many workers fled from the concentrated Chinese communities in the West and then went to the Midwest and the East. As in California, they formed small pockets of Chinese culture that were known as “Chinatowns”New Yorks Chinatown was created by men such as the Chinese laborers. Sociologists call them “sojourners” foreigners in the United States, keeping to their cultural traditions, living on the larger society in which they existed. The sojourners came to America for the promise of supporting his family in China, where he expected to return one day. Those who did stay lived separately from the society.
