38、“沙拉碗”，有的人认为它是“大熔炉”。实际上，美国的特点并非非此即彼，而是在差异中存在统一。解析：1根据设空处前面的a bowl of salad及本段最后一句，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。”描述的与沙拉有关。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文章第一段提出“沙拉碗”和“大熔炉”两个理论。第二、三两
39、段详细描述了“沙拉碗”理论。设空处位于第四段段首，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”有助于不同的民族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本段两句话总结全文：“美国将沙拉碗和大熔炉两大特点融合在一起。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是第一句中a mixture of both的另一种说法。故选D项。
