22、languages。2.to/or考查介词或连词。根据语境可知,此处表示“四十万到五十万单词”或者“四十万或者五十万单词”,故填to/or。3.all考查形容词。句意:但是我不需要所有这些单词。all“所有的,全部的”,符合语境,故填all。4.Before考查状语从句。句意:在你离开学校之前,你只会学到一千或更多一点单词。before“在前面”,符合语境,置句首单词首字母大写。故填Before。5.that考查定语从句。分析句子可知,“ you learn”是定语从句,先行词是words,在从句中作宾语,指物,且前由All修饰,故用关系代词that不用which,故填that。6.bigge

32、选B项。2.C根据下文中的“Each ethnic group has its own special.and defend.”可知,每个民族都有自己要保护和保卫的特殊文化、语言、食物和传统。由此可推断出,此处解释了美国多元文化存在的原因。C项符合上下文语境。故选C项。3.G根据第一段中的两种观点“a salad bowl”和“a melting pot”及空格后的“one large pot of soup”可知,本段要介绍另外一种观点。G项说法和第一段中的第二种观点一致。故选G项。4.F根据下文中的“In such a culture,symbols like.serve to.groups.”可知,共同拥有的符号有助于消除不同民族之间的隔阂,创造出一种新文化。F项符合上下文语境,且“They”指代上文中的“symbols”。故选F项。5.D该段是对全文内容的总结。即美国是一个具有多样性和统一性的国家。D项符合语境,是对前面一句内容的另一种表述。故选D项。
