问题     W.F. Deedes, a journalist since the 1930s, perhaps summed it up best: "The reputation we have in distant lands, I have learned in my travels, is higher than we give ourselves. They admire us for our【S1】______stability, our parliamentary and diplomatic experience, for fair play, for tolerance, for. a【S2】______to help lame dogs, as well as for some of the qualities Shakespeare sang about in his【S3】______"
    Multiculturalism is【S4】______on the belief that all cultures are morally equal.  In practice, that soon degenerates to: All cultures all morally【S5】______, except ours, which is worse. But all【S6】______are not equal in respecting representative government, guaranteed liberties, and the rule of law. And those things arose not simultaneously(同步地)and in all cultures but in certain specific times and places--mostly in Britain and America and other【S7】______of Europe.
    In America, as in Britain, multiculturalism has become the fashion of society. So the Founding Fathers are presented only as slaveholders. World War II is limited to the detention(扣留)of Japanese-Americans and the bombing of Hiroshima. Slavery is identified with America though it has【S8】______in many societies.
    But most Americans know there is something【S9】______about our cultural heritage.  While Harvard and Brown are replacing scholars of the founding period with those studying other things, book buyers are snapping up(抢购)first-rate histories of the founders. Multiculturalist intellectuals do not think our kind of society is【S10】______defending.

    A. worthwhile      B. existed       C. special       D. cultures      E. spoiled
    F. particular      G. parts         H. based         I. willingness   J. ages
    K. contempt        L. plays         M. social        N. worth         O. equal
【S9】
选项
答案C
解析 “许多美国人都知道我们的文化遗产中有很多特殊的东西。”即something special about，F选项 particular纯粹为干扰项，be particular about是指“对……极为苛刻、吹毛求疵”的意思。
