34、ic groups mix together, yet maintain their cultural uniqueness.

40、据设空处前面的a bowl of salad及本段最后一句, 并分析各个选项可知, 只有B项“它们从来不会失去它们的形状、颜色和味道”的描述与沙拉有关。They指代前句中的all the ingredients(所有的材料)。故选B项。2. 【解析】选C。根据分析, 本段继续描述美国像“沙拉碗”, 前后为因果关系: “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相似的工作, 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。故选C项。3. 【解析】选G。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“沙拉碗”理论。设空处位于第四段段首
41、, 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。4. 【解析】选F。本段最后三句围绕shared symbols(共享的符号)展开: 有许多“共享的符号”, 因而“它们”有助于不同民族的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They指代前句中的shared symbols。故选F项。5. 【解析】选D。本段用两句话总结全文: “美国将沙拉碗和大熔炉两大特点融合在了一起。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是本段第一句中a mixture of both的另一种说法。故选D项。
