Johnson: Hello, class. Last week we invited Mrs. Leehere to talk about the United States being a meltingpot. Today, Mrs. Lee will continue talking somethingabout this. Welcome, Mrs. Lee.
Mrs. Lee: Thank you. We know the United States isa melting pot, where all the different immigrants mixtogether to create something new. Well, everything has exceptions, including our melting pde the Mississippi River Valley, there is a large area that is part melting pot and part gardensalad. In Louisiana, or more specifically, New Orleans, there have been a few major culturalinfluences that are different from the rest of the United States. (16) Unlike the rest of theUnited States, which was colonized by England and Spain, New Orleans was mainly a Frenchsettlement. It also was a unique slave culture.
While the rest of the U.S. was a melting pot, mixing all its parts to create something new, NewOrleans became a garden salad. (17) Right now you may be asking yourself, "What does shemean by garden salad?" A garden salad has many parts that are combined to make a newflavor. Each piece retains its original identity, but combined they make something new, andhopefully better. This contrasts to the melting pot because in a melting pot, all pieces lose theiridentity to form something new.
So in New Orleans, we have a French beginning, with French culture, food, language andlifestyle. Added in over the centuries is a bit of a Spanish influence, when Spain controlled theterritory for about 50 years after the French and Indian War. (18) After that is the Americanand English influence after President Jefferson bought the territory from France. And lastly isan influx of Latino culture from Mexico and the Caribbean.
The result now is that New Orleans has a distinct culture apart from the United States. Becauseof their French ancestry, they have different expressions, such as they say "I'm makinggroceries," instead of our "I am grocery shopping." Again, this is because the French French, the direct translation is "to make groceries," not "to buy or go shopping."
16. What's the difference between New Orleans and the rest of the U.S.?
17. What do we know about a garden salad according to Mrs. Lee?
18. What is said about the culture in New Orleans?
同學們，大家好。上週我們請來了李老師爲我們講解美國作爲文化大熔爐的話題。今天李老師將繼續上一次的講解，歡迎李老師。
謝謝。我們都知道美國是一個大熔爐，來自不同國家的移民聚集到一起形成了一個新的民族。凡是皆有例外，包括我們的這個“大熔爐”。在密西西比河谷內的一大片區域既像熔爐又像田園沙拉。在路易斯安那州，或者更精確些說是新奧爾良，有着一些與美國其他地區不同的主要文化因素。新奧爾良和美國的其他地方不同，它曾經主要是法國的殖民地，而且有着獨特的奴隸制文化。
而美國其他地方曾是英國和西班牙的殖民地。因此美國其他地區成了一個熔爐，融合出新，而新奧爾良則像是一道田園沙拉。現在你可能暗自發問：“她說的田園沙拉是什麼意思?”田園沙拉有很多部分組成，共同形成一種新奇的風味。每一部分保留其原來的特性，但是合在一起他們創造了一個新的`整體，比簡單集合更好的整體。它與熔爐不同是因爲熔爐當中的每一部分在形成新事物的過程中丟失了自己的特性。
所以，奧爾良的源頭是法國，有着法國的文化、飲食習慣、語言和生活方式。在以後幾個世紀發展中，它受到了西班牙的影響。法國印第安人戰爭之後的五十年裏，西班牙控制了這片土地。之後，傑斐遜總統從法國將這片土地購買之後它則開始受到英美文化的影響。而最近又有墨西哥和加勒比文化的注入。
因此，現在的結果就是，新奧爾良有着獨立於美國的獨特的文化特徵。由於他們的祖先是法國人，他們的語言也很不相同。比如他們說“做雜貨”而不是“買雜貨”。這也是受法語的影響。在法語中“去雜貨店買東西”的直接翻譯是“做雜貨”不是“買雜貨”。
16.新奧爾良和美國其他地區的不同之處是什麼?
17.根據李老師講解，你對田園色拉了解了什麼?
18.關於新奧爾良的文化文章中說到了什麼?
參考答案：
【小題16】D
【小題17】A
【小題18】C
習題解析：
【小題16】李老師的講座開頭提到凡事都有例外，包括我們的大熔爐，隨後以新奧爾良爲例，提到 Unlike the rest of the United States, which was colonized byEngland and Spain, New Orleans was mainly a French settlement. It also was a unique slaveculture，指出新奧爾良和美國的其他地方不同，它曾經主要是法國的殖民地，即受到法國文化的影響頗深，因此 D 項正確，故選 D。曾經被英國佔領的是除新奧爾良之外的美國其他地方，因而排除 A 項;講座中提到影響新奧爾良的幾種主要文化與美國其他地方的不同，但是並沒有說它比別的地方有更多的文化影響力，因而排除 B 項;講座中提及新奧爾良是作爲美國大熔爐的反例，因而可以排除 C 項。
【小題17】李老師提到新奧爾良是一個田園沙拉，隨後解釋了什麼是 garden salad，指出 A garden saladhas many parts that are combined to make a new flavor，由此可知，選項 A 爲答案。其他三個選項的表述均與原文內容不符，故排除。
【小題18】講座對新奧爾良文化作了詳細的介紹，指出其先後受到法國、西班牙、英美和最近的拉美文化影響。明確指出在傑斐遜總統從法國人手中買回新奧爾良這片領土之後，新奧爾良又受到了美英文化的影響，因而 C 項表述正確，故選 C。其他選項均與聽力原文不符，排除。
