In Anglo-America there are three major ethnic groups. The first is the original Indian population, who today represents a minority group. The second is the descendants of European colonists who emigrated to the two countries before the end of the nineteenth century. These majority populations normally speak English, are highly-educated, and most of them are culturally homogeneous(同类的)in broad cultural values. A third group is made up of ethnic minorities, from Asia, Latin America, Africa, or parts of Europe who have either linguistic, religious, racial, or other cultural attributes that distinguish them from the majority population.
The United States has a varied ethnic minority pattern, without the dominance of one minority group in a specific geographical area. The largest ethnic group in America is the blacks, totaling an estimated 26 million in 1980, or 12 percent of the population. Unlike the French, the black population of the United States is not culturally and geographically isolated in one area. Slightly more than half of American blacks live in the South, and 49 percent reside in the East and the West. The black American speaks English, has a tendency to share the characteristics of competition,materialism,and individualism with other United States citizens, and has no distinctive religion.
The Spanish-speaking minority in America is reluctant to adopt the values of the dominant cultural group. There is increasingly a demand for bilingual (双语的)education to allow Spanish speaking children to use English in their educational programs. The existence of a large and growing minority population such as the Spanish-speaking Americans, who are increasingly committed to their own food and newspapers in Latin, is one of the issues facing Anglo-America in the future.The old concept of a melting pot is being replaced by the concept of a plural society.
第 31 题 From the context, we know that "attributes"(Para.1)means
A.similarities of ethnic groups.
B.qualifies belonging to ethnic minorities.
C.differences between ethnic minorities.
D.relationships among ethnic groups. 请帮忙给出正确答案和分析,谢谢!

参考答案

正确答案:B
在英裔美洲有3个主要的民族。第一个是当地的印第安人,他们今天代表一个少数民族群体。第二个是在l9世纪末以前移民至这两个国家的欧洲殖民者的后代。这些占多数的人口通常讲英语,受教育程度高,并且从广泛的文化价值观上看,他们有着相同的文化。第三个群体由来自亚洲、拉丁美洲、非洲和欧洲部分地区的少数民族构成,他们有着自己的语言、宗教、种族和文化特征,这些特征把他们和占人口多数的群体中区分开来。美国有着多样的少数民族分布格局。没有一个少数民族在某一特定地理区域占多数的现象。美国最大的少数民族群体是黑人,l980年总数估计达2,600万,占总人口的12%。不像法国人,美国的黑人人口不论从文化上还是地域上都不孤立在某一地区中。一半多一点的美国黑人住在南方,49%住在东部和西部。美国黑人说英语,倾向于与其他美国公民参与竞争、享受物质、主张个人主义,没但他们有什么特别的宗教信仰。在美国讲西班牙语的少数民族不愿意接受主流文化群体的价值观。越来越多的人要求实行双语教育以便使讲西班牙语的孩子在接受教育时能够使用英语。讲西班牙语的美国人日益固守他们自己的食物,读拉丁文报纸,像他们这样庞大的,而且人口日益增长的少数民族的存在,是英裔美洲将来需要面对的问题之一。原来大家把美国看成一个大熔炉.但现在观念变了,美国被看成是一个多元化的社会。答案及解析【解析】attribute=quality“性质,特征”。
