(2013·江西高考)The light from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent the damp cold of Dennis's Swamp (沼泽地) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack's dare.They liked camping，but not near this swamp.
“So，” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name？”
“Are you sure you want to hear it? It's a scary story，”warned Jack.
“Of course！” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of，you wouldn't have chosen this place！”
“Ok，but don't say I didn't warn you，” said Jack, and he began his tale.
“Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different—it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal-clear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.”
“‘You are clearing too much land，’ warned one old man. ‘The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it.’”
“‘Silly fool，’ said Dennis to himself.‘If I clear more land，I can grow more crops.I'll become wealthier.He's just jealous！’”
“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”
“What happened？”Martin asked.It was growing colder.He trembled，twisting his body closer to the fire.
“The land hit back—just as the old man warned，”Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.”
“What a stupid story，” laughed Tom. “Plants can't...” Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted(晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright，staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy(常春藤) had covered Tom's face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.
26．The underlined word “dare” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to________.
A．courage B．assistance
C．instruction D．challenge
27．Why did Jack tell Tom and Martin the story?
A．To frighten them.
B．To satisfy their curiosity.

28．Why did Dennis ignore the warning of the old man?
A．The old man envied him.
B．The old man was foolish.
C．He was too busy to listen to others.
D．He was greedy for more crops.
29．Why did Tom scream and faint?
A．He saw Dennis's shadow.
B．He was scared by a plant.
C．His friend played a joke on him.
D．The weather became extremely cold.
30．What lesson can we learn from the story of Dennis?
A．Grasp all, lose all.

B
Farmers are being told more needs to be done to stop them injuring at work.One in five British workplace deaths happens in agriculture even though farmers are only a small part of the working population.During the year 2010/11 there were 1,061 injuries in total and it is thought many more go unreported.
Jim Chapman from Warwickshire had his arm torn off by farm machinery seven years ago when he was 23.“You don't realize how much you rely on your second arm until it's gone，”he said.He fell against a PTO shaft(传动轴)，a spinning metal bar at the back of a tractor.“It catapulted(猛力掷出) me from one side of the machine to the other，”he said.“I landed on the floor，minus all my clothing.My left arm had been ripped_off.”He admits that the machinery was missing part of its proper safety guard.“But again，”he added，“it was a rushed day.There were a few machines that didn't work.Also，I was getting behind with the jobs.”
Over the last 10 years，other industries that you'd think of as dangerous，like building or quarrying(矿采)，have lowered the number of workplace deaths and injuries.In the farming industry though，deaths remain high with 34 deaths in 2010/11.
Judith Hackitt，the chair of the Health and Safety Executive(HSE) says it is “not acceptable” that the accident statistics for farming are still high.“People in farming don't have minor(较小的) injuries.When they get injured，it's bad.”she said.“When I said to the National Farmers' Union(NFU) that if I had sons I would not want them to work in agriculture，it really made them sit up and take notice.”There's a whole host of reasons why farming is as dangerous as it is.It is a very rough industry.Also，it's often because people are left alone.They could be young and inexperienced，or older people，who would have retired maybe 5 or 10 years ago in other industries.
Jim wants others to learn from his experience.“Look at what you're doing before you go running in，”he said.“You could make a mistake that you'll live with for the rest of your life.”
31．Jim Chapman was injured in the workplace mainly because ________.
A．he crossed the machinery
B．the safety guard of the machinery was gone
C．he was standing at the back of the tractor
D．he didn't notice the PTO shaft
32．In British farming industry，________.
A．farmers take up a large part of working population
B．the number of injuries is bigger than what the public know
C．old machinery was not replaced in time
D．being a farmer is the most dangerous
33．Judith thought ________ were (was) not acceptable.
A．the injuries of farmers
B．the high deaths for farming
C．her son's hope to work in agriculture
D．farmers' retiring 5 or 10 years later
34．The underlined phrase “ripped off” in paragraph 2 probably means “________” .
A．turned off B．got off
C．worn off D．torn off
35．From the whole text，we can see that Jim feels ________.
A．regretful B．angry
C．shocked D．confused
C
(2013·泰安高二调研)Our culture has caused most Americans to assume not only that our language is universal but that the gestures we use are understood by everyone.We do not realize that waving goodbye is the way to summon a person from the Philippines to one's side，or that in Italy and some Latin-American countries，curling the finger to oneself is a sign of farewell.
Those private citizens who sent packages to our troops occupying Germany after World War Ⅱ and marked them GIFT to escape duty payments did not bother to find out that“Gift” means poison in German.Moreover，we like to think of ourselves as friendly，yet we prefer to be at least 3 feet or an arm's length away from others.Latins and Middle Easterners like to come closer and touch，which makes Americans uncomfortable.
Our linguistic(语言的)and cultural blindness and the casualness with which we take notice of the developed tastes，gestures，customs and languages of other countries，are losing our friends，business and respect in the world.
Even here in the United States，we make few concessions(让步) to the needs of foreign visitors.There are no information signs in four languages on our public buildings or monuments；we do not have multilingual (多语的) guided tours.Very few restaurant menus have translations，and multilingual waiters，bank clerks and policemen are rare.Our transportation systems have maps in English only and often we ourselves have difficulty understanding them.
When we go abroad，we tend to stay in hotels and restaurants where English is spoken.The attitudes and information we pick up are conditioned by those natives—usually the richer—who speak English.Our business dealings，as well as the nation's diplomacy (外交)，are conducted through interpreters.
For many years，America and Americans could get by with cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance.After all，America was the most powerful country of the free world，the distributor(分发者)of needed funds and goods.
But all that is past.American dollars no longer buy all good things，and we are slowly beginning to realize that our proper role in the world is changing.A 1979 Harris poll reported that 55 percent of Americans want this country to play a more significant role in world affairs; we want to have a hand in the important decisions of the next century，even though it may not always be the upper hand.
36．It can be inferred that Americans being approached too closely by Middle Easterners would most probably________.
A．stand still B．jump aside
C．step forward D．draw back
37．The author gives many examples to criticize Americans for their ________.
A．cultural self-centeredness
B．casual manners
C．indifference toward foreign visitors
D．pride towards other cultures
38．In countries other than their own，most Americans ________.
A．are isolated by the local people
B．are not well informed due to the language barrier
C．tend to get along well with the natives
D．need interpreters in hotels and restaurants
39．According to the author，Americans' cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance will________.
A．affect their image in the new era
B．cut themselves off from the outside world
C．limit their role in world affairs
D．weaken the position of the US dollar
40．The author intends to make Americans realize that it is ________.
A．dangerous to ignore their foreign friends
B．important to maintain their leading role in world affairs
C．necessary to use several languages in public places
D．time to get familiar with other cultures
D
We're in the middle of winter.It's cold and we're suffering from cold wind and rain.The sun，even when it does show its face，is setting at 4 p．m.It's no wonder people in the street look sad.
But according to most of the research on the connection between weather and mood(情绪)，they shouldn't be.Weather has little effect on mood.
When you tell people this，though，they don't believe it.Most of us think the weather has quite a strong effect on our mood.Many think that the rain and cold weather dejects us and the sun and warmth cheers us up.
So why don't we see this effect in the research？That's the question a new study by Klimstra et al.tries to answer with a group of young people and their mothers.In fact，Klimstra et al.found four different groups：
1．Unaffected：about half the people in their study fell into this group.For these people it didn't matter that much whether it was raining or sunny，hot or cold，their mood was mostly unaffected.
2．Summer lovers：here's the group you'd expect.For these people，their mood improved with less rain，more sun and higher temperatures(15% of young people and 30% of their mothers)．
3．Summer haters：here's the group of people you hear less about.These were the exact opposite of the summer lovers so they were happier when there was more rain，less sun and lower temperatures (27% of the young people and 12% of their mothers)．
4．Rain haters：this group's mood didn't change with the temperature，sunshine or the wind；they just hated the rain(8% of young people and 12% of their mothers)．
This helps explain why studies keep finding that weather doesn't have much effect on mood：it's because we're different and these differences are mostly being averaged out.
41. It's found in the study that ________.
A．weather has a strong effect on mood
B．cold wind and rain makes us look sad
C．the sun and warmth cheers us up
D．mood is little affected by weather
42．The underlined word “dejects” in the third paragraph probably means ________.
A．make sb. happy B．make sb. sad
C．make sb. angry D．make sb.silly
43. In which group people like dry and hot weather?
A．Unaffected. B．Summer lovers.
C．Summer haters. D．Rain haters.
44．From the four different groups we can learn ________.
A．about half the people belong to summer lovers
B．more than one third of the people are summer haters
C．few of young people and their mothers like the rain
D．more young people are unaffected than rain haters
45．What is the BEST title for the passage?
A．Does the weather really affect your mood?
B．Why do people feel sad in cold winter?
C．How many different groups are there?
D．Do different people have different mood?

语篇解读：Jaime Alfonso Escalante生于玻利维亚的教师之家。他迁居美国后再次接受教师培训，受聘于加利福尼亚州的Garfield中学。他教育问题学生的策略是鼓励学生树立自信。他因出色的教育成就获得“总统卓越教育勋章”。电影《为人师表》就是根据他的事迹拍摄的。
1．C 他已经在玻利维亚教了12年书了。
2．A 根据前文判断，他已经开始做教师工作了，但来到美国之后，他的教师资格需得到美国的认证。因此是重新又进行了一遍大学教育和教师培训。
3．C 见第2题。根据下文受雇于Garfield中学任教这一事实判断，他接受了教师培训。profession专业；employment就业；application申请，与语意不符。
4．D 他于1974年被Garfield中学聘用当数学老师。admit允许；invite邀请；allow许可，与语境不符。
5．C 他的很多学生存在吸毒、团伙犯罪和暴力等严重问题。physical体力的；psychological心理的；economic经济的，与语境不符。
6．B 根据下文可知，这些学生还存在暴力犯罪的倾向。
7．B manage经营，侧重于商业管理；organize组织，侧重于活动的组办；attend参与，指在其中发挥作用。operate运行，指为任何实体的发展所做的工作。根据语境，B项正确。
8．A 根据students判断，本句与学生数量有关。大部分学生是墨西哥裔美国人，来自该市的一个西班牙语为主的居民区。mostly大多数地；exactly精确地；appropriately适当地；normally正常地。
9．B 他激励学生们努力学习。push sb.to do sth.催促/鼓励某人做某事。
10．B 他告诉学生们他们有能力更加刻苦地学习。talent天赋；right权利；opportunity机会，与语境不符。
11．A 根据下文可知，这是他开始尝试的一个教学项目。
12．C 1982年，他的18位学生参加高等跳级考试，全部通过。根据下文这些同学的发展情况判断，他们都通过了跳级考试，说明了Escalante的教学实验是成功的。
13．B Escalante获得了包括“总统卓越教育勋章”在内的很多荣誉。fame名声，名誉；award荣誉，奖；reward报酬；achievement成就。根据语境判断，B项正确。
14．C 1988年，讲述他成功故事的电影《为人师表》开始发行。release发布、发行，主要指唱片、影视、新闻、新书等的发布或发行。
15．D 根据语境分析，Escalante的教学成就得益于他的正确的方法，本题与attitude(态度)，morality(道德)，ability(能力)无关。
16．are 17.languages 18.or/to 19.all 20.which/that 21.bigger 22.written 23.a 24.up 25.useful
语篇解读：本文为记叙文。由在野营中一个孩子所讲故事为切入点来讲述一块地是如何受到Dennis过度开发而变成沼泽地的。
26．D 词义猜测题。由“They liked camping，but not near this swamp.”可知，男孩子们并不愿在这块沼泽地附近野营。之所以现在在这里是受到了杰克的“挑战”。
27．B 推理判断题。根据第二、三、四段他们的对话可知，Jack警告他们这个故事很吓人，但经不住他们的请求还是告诉他们了，故Jack讲这个故事并不是为了吓他们，而是为了满足他们的好奇心。
28．D 细节理解题。由第八段中“If I clear more land，I can grow more crops.I'll become wealthier.He's just jealous！”可知他想种更多的庄稼，变得更富，还以为别人忌妒他。由此可知他不听老人的劝告是因为他太贪婪，想种更多庄稼。
29．B 细节理解题。由最后一段倒数第二句“Some green swamp ivy(常春藤) had covered Tom's face.”可知他晕倒的原因是他被常春藤吓到了。
30．A 主旨大意题。纵观全文可知Dennis因为贪婪，结果失去了一切，故A项“贪多必失”最恰当。
31．B 细节理解题。根据第二段“He admits that the machinery was missing part of its proper safety guard.”可判断Jim Chapman受伤是因为机器的防护装置的脱落，故选B项。
32．B 细节理解题。根据第一段“During the year 2010/11 there were 1,061 injuries in total and it is thought many more go unreported.”可推断英国农民实际受伤人数比所报道的受伤人数要多，故选B项。
33．B 细节理解题。根据第四段“When I said to the National Farmers' Union(NFU) that if I had sons I would not want them to work in agriculture”可知Judith不会让她儿子从事农业方面的工作，故选B项。
34．D 词义猜测题。根据第二段“Jim Chapman from Warwickshire had his arm torn off by farm machinery seven years ago when he was 23.”可推断画线部分应意为“torn off”，故选D项。
35．A 推理判断题。根据最后一段Jim的讲话可推断他为自己的受伤感到遗憾。故选A项。
语篇解读：美国文化使美国人认为他们的语言是普遍的，而且他们用的手势也是人人都能理解的。然而，事实真的如此吗？
36．D 推理判断题。根据文章第二段的最后两句可知，美国人喜欢与人保持一定的距离，所以，当中东人靠近美国人的时候，美国人很有可能向后退。
37．A 推理判断题。文章的首句作者就提出了自己的观点：美国人文化上的以自我为中心使他们认为自己的语言是普遍的，他们的手势也是人人都能理解的。故选A项。而其他的三项只是举的例子来证明自己的观点，不符合题意。
38．B 推理判断题。根据文章第五段的内容可知，大部分美国人走出国门后都有语言交流的障碍。故选B。
39．C 推理判断题。由最后两段内容可推知，美国人这种以自己的文化为中心的态度以及对其他语言的忽视会限制他们在世界上的地位，由此可知C项正确。
40．D 写作意图题。最后两段作者得出结论，美国人以自己的文化为中心，在过去这样还过得去，但现在已经不同于过去了，要想在世界上担当重要角色就不能再这样了，故作者写这篇文章是想让美国人认识到，以自己的文化为中心是不行的，要想在世界上立足，得熟悉其他国家的文化，由此可知选D。
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。根据多数关于天气与心情的关系的研究结果可知，天气对心情影响不大。不过人们并不相信这些。这是为什么呢？再次研究发现：因为天气对心情的影响其实是因人而异的，而这样的差异几乎是平均分配的。
41．D 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，天气对心情影响不大。故答案为D。
42．B 词义猜测题。根据上下文可知，这句话的意思应该是“很多人以为雨天和寒冷会使人沮丧，而太阳和温暖则令人振奋。”故答案为B。其他意思不符合此语境。
43．B 细节理解题。根据第二组可知，少一些雨，多一点阳光以及更高的温度会让他们心情更佳。故答案为B。
44．D 细节理解题。根据第一组和第四组进行比较可知，属于无影响组的青少年比厌雨组的青少年要多的多。其他选项与文章内容不相符。
45．A 主旨大意题。文章主要在说天气对心情影响不大，不过人们并不相信。再次的研究还是证明了这一点。故答案为A。其他选项与文章主旨不相符。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
The 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 Mid?west and the East.As in California，they formed small pockets of Chinese culture that were known as “Chinatowns”．
New York's 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 in 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.So they remained in Chinatown，an enclosed community holding on to traditions among the tides of change.

Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
(2013·汕头高二检测)Miami has worn many tags(标签) through the past decades.But art was never high on the list.But，in 2002，Art Basel made Miami Beach its American home，bringing with it an international scene of lots of art dealers，collectors，critics and art lovers.This art fair lasts less than a week a year but it is one of the biggest in the world.
“Art Basel gave Miami the power to believe in itself，and that's always a problem with regional(地方性的) art places，”said Mera Rubell，a Miami collector who，along with her husband，Don，owns the Rubell Family Collection.“The influence that it has all year round is really quite great.”
Art Basel has little to do with local galleries(美术馆)．Just 3 of the 260 galleries invited this year are from Miami，and only a handful of local artists are showing in the fair，which begins on Thursday.
But since Art Basel started 10 years ago，dozens of new galleries have opened，and scores of artists have moved here，attracted by the low rents and，partly，by Art Basel itself.The fair gives artists，collectors and gallery owners a rare chance to see world-class art but，more important，to learn from the leading players of the international art world.
The artist Christy Gast said she moved here in 2008 partly because the yearly art fair made the city seem like one of the rare places an artist could succeed in.“From the outside，Basel has created the idea that Miami is a city where being an artist is a right thing to do，”said Ms.Gast.The city，for its part，has used Art Basel to show the world that it is no cultural backwater(闭塞的地方)．
Along with galleries and artists，Miami's stock of private art collectors has also risen in the last decade.
1．According to the passage，Art Basel of Miami ________.
A．used to be very famous in the world
B．started in 2002 at Miami Beach
C．is the biggest art fair in the world
D．takes place every two years
2．What is the problem with a regional art place?
A．Not believing in itself.
B．Not lasting very long.
C．The little influence.
D．No enough local artists.
3．What is the main reason why many artists have moved to Miami from other places?
A．Art Basel has a lot to do with local galleries.
B．Most of the local artists can attend Art Basel.
C．They are attracted by the low rents in Miami.
D．They can learn from the world-class artists.
4．From what Ms.Gast said we can learn ________.
A．she opened her own gallery 10 years ago
B．she thinks Miami is a right place to work at art
C．Art Basel can make any artist succeed in Miami
D．cultural backwater has damaged Art Basel much
5．The main idea of the passage is that ________.
A．Miami has become an art city now
B．Art Basel is one of the biggest art fairs
C．Miami has a great influence on art
D．artists in Miami are realizing their dreams
B
Just a little walk in the city of New York or Chicago，for example，would make any foreigner realize the presence of people of various races walking down the street: probably blacks，African Americans，Spanish，Asians，and so on.Or for another example，on school campuses in America，both the teachers and the students usually consist of people from a number of countries rather than only one.
Indeed，the variety of ethnicity (种族渊源) in America is often claimed to be the best mix in the world.That's why the famous term “melting pot” arises.Its basic idea presents the whole nation as one large pot.Anyone who enters the United States is automatically thrown into this “pot”．All the cultural aspects that one brings into are mixed together，or melted，to form a new culture.
In comparison with the “melting pot” theory，there is a “salad bowl” theory.This idea shows a completely separate view that newcomers bring different cultures，where each of these cultures is kept as an essential part to make up the whole.Every distinctive culture or belief is considered to be one of the tastes or ingredients (成分) that contribute to forming the whole.Therefore，its original shape and characteristics are maintained.
The ideas，of the “melting pot” and the “salad bowl” in America both show an ideal to many people and are often admired.Having a close look at the reality of the country，such as the existing ethnic segregation (分离)，the fact of the white population fleeing from the minority，and the trend of the minority group forming their own group，one can see that the “melting pot” theory is merely a myth.Despite its long fame，it is more suitable to label America as a “salad bowl”．
6．What would be the BEST title for the passage?
A．America：“melting pot” or “salad bowl”？
B．Why many people come to America?
C．The development of American culture
D．The ways to adapt to American life
7．The purpose of the first paragraph is to tell us the fact that________.
A．a foreigner is likely to experience culture shock in America
B．America is a country of a wide variety of ethnic minorities
C．people of various races live in big cities in America
D．it's easy for a foreigner to stand out in America
8．According to the “melting pot” theory，people who enter the United States________.
A．are eager to change the new culture
B．can adapt to the new culture more easily
C．try to prove the importance of their culture
D．lose their own identities to form a new culture
9．We can learn from the last paragraph that different ethnic minorities in America________.
A．are completely equal in society
B．tend to live segregated
C．strictly keep their own cultures
D．have mixed together
10．What does the author think of American society?
A．It is a mixture of the “melting pot” and the “salad bowl”．
B．It is more of a “melting pot” than of a “salad bowl”．
C．It is better defined as a “salad bowl” rather than a “melting pot”．
D．It is hard to say whether it is a “melting pot” or a “salad bowl”．

Ⅱ.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。迈阿密是一个有着众多标签的城市，以前艺术总是与迈阿密无缘，但2002年Basel艺术节开始在迈阿密海滩举办以来，这里已经成为世界最大的艺术中心之一。它之所以能吸引世界各地的艺术家们来此的主要原因是：Basel艺术节给了艺术家、收藏者们以及艺术馆主人们一个宝贵的机会去接触世界级的艺术品，更给了他们一个与世界顶尖艺术大师学习的机会。
1．B 细节理解题。根据第一段可知，2002年，Basel艺术节开始在迈阿密海滩举办，给这里带来了国际化的艺术氛围。大量的艺术品交易商、收藏者、评论家以及艺术爱好者来到这里。它每年的持续时间不超过一周，却是世界上最大的艺术节之一。故答案为B。其他选项与第一段内容不相符。
2．A 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句话可知，一个地方性艺术中心所存在的问题是不自信。故答案为A。其他选项找不到依据。
3．D 推理判断题。根据第四段可知，艺术节给了艺术家、收藏者们以及艺术馆主人们一个宝贵的机会去接触世界级的艺术品，更给了他们一个与世界顶尖艺术大师学习的机会。故答案为D。A、B项与文章第三段内容不一致；C项不是艺术家们来迈阿密的主要原因。
4．B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知，迈阿密之所以成为如今这样的艺术城市，Basel艺术节无疑是一个主要的原因。它使得迈阿密成为一个艺术家能够梦想成真，实现自我艺术成就的地方。故答案为B。A项与第一句不一致；C项太过绝对；D项与最后一句不一致。
5．A 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文的中心话题是：以前艺术总是与迈阿密无缘，但2002年Basel艺术节开始在迈阿密海滩举办以来，这里已经成为世界最大的艺术中心之一。故答案为A。
6．A 主旨大意题。综合全文可知，作者主要围绕美国到底是熔炉还是色拉盘展开论述。
7．B 写作意图题。第一段叙述，在美国无论是在城市还是在大学校园，你都会遇到各种种族的人，因此本段的目的是告诉读者美国是一个多民族融合的国家。
8．D 细节理解题。根据第二、三段可知，色拉盘不同于熔炉，在于各种族在美国文化中是否保留了自己的文化特点，熔炉理论是说人们在美国的大熔炉中丧失了自己的特点。
9．B 细节理解题。贴近美国现实观察一下，存在着种族分离现象。白种人脱离少数民族，所以不同种族的人居住在不同的地方。
10．C 细节理解题。从最后一段可知，作者认为在美国不同种族的人居住在不同的地方，并没有完全融合在一起，因此作者认为美国是一个色拉盘，而不是熔炉。
