人教版高中英语选修八unit1 A land of diversity
unit1 A land of diversity Ⅰ.阅读理解 A American culture is unique because it is formed and developed under certain conditions. The major factors contributing to the making of this flew nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment, ethnic diversity (多民族) and plural religion, which is quite different from other nations in the world. What is more, these elements are still influencing the American culture. The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of America. From 1607 to 1892, frontiers were pushed further west. The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise, opportunity and freedom. Actually they looked for a better life. So individualism (个人主义), self-reliance, and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage (遗产) of America. In history, people from different countries in the world rushed to America three times. They brought their own culture to America and later on, different cultures were mixed together. Thus the unique American culture is formed, a common cultural life with commonly shared values. The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the fight of individuals to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States. The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism; almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States. Nowadays, we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society. American family is typically parents and their unmarried children. Middle-aged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children. The people in America have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place. Quite a number of people change residences every year. The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime. 语篇解读：这是一篇议论兼说明的文章，向我们说明了美国历史上独特文化形成的原因。 1．We can learn from this article that ________. A．the frontiersmen left important society values for American culture B．the early immigrants brought about the unique American culture C．people in the world once rushed to America because of its unique culture D．the American family members don’t get along well with each other 解析：选A细节理解题。由第二段的叙述尤其是最后一句可知，美国的早期移民为美国文化留下了包括“individualism (个人主义), self-reliance, and equality of opportunity”在内的社会价值观(society values)。故选A。 2．What’s the author’s attitude towards American culture? A．He is critical of it. B．He admires it very much.
