UNIT 3　DIVERSE CULTURES Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2023·江苏南师附中高三调研)The United States of America is the most culturally diverse country in the world in terms of culture，religion，ethnicity and sexual orientation.As a combination of various races and cultures，America is home to all.The culture here is so unique that citizens can be just as proud of their original cultural heritage as they are to be Americans. What is now the US was initially inhabited by native people until the land was settled by various European groups and African slaves.Since the 20th century，the country has become a heaven for people from all over the globe. The arrival of immigrants has shifted populations from rural areas to cities because immigrants tend to settle in urban areas.At present,81 percent of the inhabitants in the US live in cities. Cultural and ethnic diversity adds a unique flavor to cities that is expressed through distinct neighborhoods，restaurants，places of worship，museums，nightlife and multicultural learning environments. Unique musical forms，such as jazz，rock and roll，Chicano music，and the blues，grow in the US by mixing a variety of culturally distinct musical traditions to create a new form. At the executive (行政的) level，the country is headed by a mixed­race president; two posts on the Supreme Court are held by members of the country's two largest minorities.There is also diversity in state and local governments. Without its rich mixture of races and cultures，America would not be the nation that it is today.Founded upon the basis of equality and freedom，America acts as a stage where different cultures not only co­exist peacefully，but develop well.
