In today’s world, racial, ethnic, and national categories no longer impose fixed barriers or unbending traditions. This is not to say that these categories have disappeared. Rather, they are mixing and interacting in new ways. The hybrid nature of today’s society is a valuable resource that companies and businesses should tap into in their quest to innovate.
The ability to apply knowledge to new situations is the most valued currency in today’s economy. More than ever, creativity rewards those who exercise it, so curiosity about the source of creativity has never been higher. How creativity comes about is a riddle, but a few things seem clear. Highly creative people don’t necessarily excel in raw brainpower. They are misfits on some level. They tend to question accepted views and to consider contradictory ones.
The implications are plain to see: Divergent thinking is an essential ingredient of creativity. Diverse groups produce diverse thinking. Therefore, diversity promotes creativity. This logic applies to corporations, research teams, think tanks, and other groups of creators. Those who rely on a team of diverse people are more likely to innovate than those who rely on platoons of similar people.
To be sure, hybridity poses risks. A hybrid person may lose himself in a jumble of affiliations. A hybrid nation may botch the process of reinvention. Still, the price of such errors seems lower than the cost of circling the ethnic wagons and either shutting out people who are different or forcing them to become "one of us. " Never before have so many people married across racial and ethnic lines. Never before have so many people left their homelands for work or pleasure. Never before have so many people touched or tasted the clothes, foods, musical styles, and ideas of cultures not available to them in their youth. These people are not becoming phantoms or dilettantes. Rather, they are part of an outpouring of human creativity that is being driven by racial mixing.
"You cannot spill a drop of American blood," Herman Melville wrote in 1849, "without spilling the blood of the whole world. " More than ever, Melville’s declaration applies not only to America, but to all nations.
The author quotes Herman Melville to show________.
选项
A、America is a melting pot with ethnic diversity
B、the mixing of races is now occurring across the world
C、people all over the world have contributed to America’s success
D、the development of the world depends on cultural mixing
答案
B
解析
本题是细节题。要解答这道题,就必须把赫尔曼.梅尔维尔的这句话和它的上下文理解清楚。“美国人流下的每一滴血里都混合着全世界人民的血液。”也就是说,美国是一个民族融合十分剧烈的国家。接下来作者说,“如今,他的这句话比以往任何时候都更适用,不仅适用于美国,更适用于世界各个国家。”即不仅美国是民族融合的国家,在现在的趋势下,世界各国都在不断融合,各个民族都在不断融合。故答案选B,该项是对原文的同义替换。 A项停留在引言本身,属于就事论事,故排除;C项和D项分别提及的America’s success和the development of the world在文中均没有依据,属于无中生有,故排除。
