Unit 1 A land of diversity[导语]美国有个别称叫“大熔炉”，那么你知道美国为什么会有此别称吗？它代表着什么意思呢？The United States of America－the melting pot Did you ever wonder why the United States is called a melting pot? Do you know what it means to call this country a melting pot?This great land has been attracting people from all over the world since its independence from British rule in 1783 at the end of the Revolutionary War.They came to this country leaving behind their homeland in order to make a better life for themselves.The Co nstitution of the United States starts with the words “We the people...”．This is what the country is all about.“We the people”are from Asia, Europe, South America, from every corner of the world.People have come and are still coming to this great country to become an American.This privilege of becoming a citizen should not be taken lightly.Becoming a citizen gives you the right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness，this being our Declaration of Independence.The pride of becoming a legal citizen and enjoying the freedoms that come with it is a dream for all the immigrants that come here.The results of the melting pot are American citizens who become part of the history of this nation，who become the defenders offreedom and who bring their own individual talents and culture to melt into this great society.We are Asian Americans，Euro Americans, Mid Eastern Americans，or Afro Americans.We are all Americans under the red，white and blue flag.[词海拾贝]1．constitution n．宪法2．liberty n．自由3．pursuit n．追求4．immigrant n．移民[问题思考]1．Why did people come to USA leaving behind their homeland?_______________________________________________________ 2．Where do the immigrants of the US，come from?_______________________________________________________ 答案：1.Because they wanted to make a better life for themselves.2．They are from Asia，Europe，South America，from every corner of the world.Ⅰ.为单词选择正确的释义1．Arctic A．插入；嵌入2．ministry B．权威；权力3．federal C．申请人4．aircraft D．移民；移民入境5．immigration E．售票员；列车员；指挥6．nephew F．联邦制的；同盟的7．applicant G．关切的；体贴的；深思的8．conductor H．处罚；惩罚9．punishment I．侄子；外甥10．authority J．飞行器；航空器；飞机11．thoughtful K．北极的；北极区的12．insert L．(政府的)部；神职；牧师的职位答案：1－K2－L3－F4－J5－D6－I7－C8－E9－H10－B11－G12－AⅡ.根据所给汉语提示写出单词1．________ n．海峡2．________ n．方法；手段3．________ n．横渡；横越；十字路口；人行横道4．________ n. & adj.代理；副职5．________ n．海关；关税；进口税6．________ v i.发生；出现7．________ v t.& v i.刮；剃8．________ n．闸；刹车；制动器9．________ n．角；角度10．________ n．正义；公平11．________ adj. 公民的；国内的；民间的答案：1.strait 2.means 3.crossing 4.vice 5.customs 6．occur7.shave8.brake9.angle10.justice11.civil Ⅲ.根据英语释义写出单词1．________：clearly different or of a different kind2．________：the largest part of a group of people or things3．________：a situation that is difficult and unpleasantbecause you do not have enough money，food，clothes，etc.4．________：to choose somebody to do a particular job by voting for them5．________：the number，amount，rate of something，expressed as if it is part of a total which is 1006．________：happening or existing between people of different races7．________：a sudden increase in trade and economic activity；a period of wealth and success8．________：suggest the possibility of sth9．________：clearly seen;

从The government...的宾语Exclusion Acts(《排外法案》)和不定式“to stop the immigration of Chinese laborers into the United States”看出此处表示出台一项法案。

3From the first paragraph,we can see that Chinese immigrants .A.published Exclusion Acts,tooB.fought against the white menC.were working on their own fieldD.formed small areas of Chinese culture答案:D解析:细节理解题。
由第一段最后一句“As in California,they formed small pockets of Chinese culture that were known as ‘Chinatowns’.”看出他们在加州建立了自己的文化区域。
4According to the passage,Chinese immigrants.A.lost their hopes of returning to their countryB.tried to find a place in the larger societyC.went on with their own traditions in spite of social changesD.were free to take whatever jobs they like答案:C解析:细节理解题。
由第二段第二句中的“...foreigners in the United States,keeping to their cultural traditions,living in the larger society in which they existed.”看出他们继续保持自己的传统。
5What is the main idea of this passage?A.Chinatowns experienced great changes after gold was discovered in 1848.B.Exclusion Acts brought great sufferings to the Chinese laborers.C.Chinese laborers were cruelly exploited by the white people.D.Chinese immigration to America resulted in the forming of Chinatowns.答案:D解析:主旨大意题。
