Unit 3 DIVERSE CULTURES Period 1 Listening & speaking
语篇研读
Listening and speaking 板块 的活动主题是“ 讨论几种美 国食 品 的起源 ”( Talk about the origins of American food)。美国的多元文化反映在社会生活的各个领域,饮食就是很重要的一个方面。该板块介绍了 四种食品——汉堡包、墨西哥玉米片、秋葵汤和福饼,它们都是在美国本土发明的,但都带有其他民族的饮 食风味和特点。在文化交流过程中,不同民族的文化接触后会产生碰撞, 同时也会根据需要从不同的文化体 系中选取文化元素,经过整合融为一体,形成一种新的文化体系,这就是文化融合的过程。现代美国文化就 是多种文化融合的结果,而这里介绍的几种美国食品正是文化融合现象的具体表现。听力对话的最后一句 道出了美国饮食的特点:将世界上的不同食材混合在一起,创造出一种全新的食品。

Activity 5 Pronunciation
Listen to the passage about Native Americans. Mark the pauses you hear. The first sentence has been done for you.
No one really knows exactly when the first people arrived in what we now know as California. Its likely that Native Americans moved to California at least fifteen thousand years ago. Scientists believe that these settlers crossed the Bering Strait by a land bridge which existed in prehistoric times. In the 16th century, the native people suffered greatly after the arrival of the Europeans. Thousands of them were killed or forced into slavery. In addition, many died from the diseases brought by the Europeans. However, some survived these terrible times, and today there are more Native Americans living in California than in any other state of America.
