All the ingredients of a salad contribute to the finished product. They may be covered with the same dressing(调味酱)，but the green vegetables, tomatoes and cooked corn can all be seen for what they are.From this point of view, America is very much like a salad bowl where individual ethnic groups mix together, yet maintain their cultural uniqueness. People may work together during the day at similar jobs and in the same companies, but at night they may return to their ethnic groups where their own individual culture directs their way of life. 2._ Each ethnic group has its own special customs, language, food and traditions to protect and defend. This idea of the salad bowl is referred to as cultural diversity; that is, American society is a collection of various cultures living together in harmony within one country.3_ Here, society is like one large pot of soup. All cultural aspects are mixed together, sacrificing their original identity and keeping a bit of what they were to become a new reality. The longer the soup is cooked, the better the taste and the more likely it will be for the mixture to dissolve. In this sense, America can surely be seen as a melting pot where people from all over the world come to live and work together forming one nation. There are dozens of shared symbols. 4._ In such a culture, symbols like the flag and the nations official song serve to break down the walls which separate ethnic groups.Whether a salad bowl or a melting pot, America can be best described as a mixture of both. 5._ABoth are correct depending on ones point of view.BThey never lose their shapes, colors or tastes.CThis is why there is so much diversity within America.DIn other words, America is a nation where there is unity in diversity.EThus, one needs to abandon ones culture to be considered “American”FThey serve to develop the various ethnic groups to create a new American culture.GThe other theory, which is also used to describe American society, is the melting pot.体裁：说明文题材：社会文化主题：美国被称为“沙拉碗和大熔炉”语篇导读：有的人把美国社会描述为“沙拉碗”，有的人认为它是“大熔炉”。实际上，美国的特点并非非此即彼，而是在差异中存在统一。1B根据设空处前面的a bowl of salad及本段最后一句，分析各个选项可知，只有B项“他们从来不会失去他们的形状、颜色和味道”描述的与沙拉有关。They指代前句中的all the ingredients(所有的材料)，故选B项。2C根据分析，本段继续描述美国像“沙拉碗”，前后因果关系：“多个民族”融合，但是“保持着各自的独特性”，使得人们白天可能从事形似的工作，但是下班后沿用各自民族的生活方式，这就是美国“多样性”的原因。3G文章第一段提出“沙拉碗”和“大熔炉”两个理论。第二、三两段详细描述了“萨拉碗”理论。设空处位于第四段段首，再根据本段中的one large pot及a melting pot可知选G项，引出下文对第二个理论的描述。4F本段第三句围绕shared symbols(共享的符号)展开：有许多“共享的符号”，因而“它们”有助于不同的民族发展以便创造一个新的美国文化，而在这样的文化中，美国国旗和国歌这些符号有助于打破种族分裂的藩篱。F项中的They指代前句中的shared symbols，故选F项。5D本段两句话总结全文：“美国将沙拉碗和大熔炉两大特点融合在一起。换句话说，美国是一个多样性中存在统一的国家”。D项中unity in diversity是第一句中的a mixture of both的另一种说法，故选D项。D(2016重庆巴蜀中学高三一诊)Making Short Videos“A picture is worth a thousand words”， or so they say.
