Which of the following statements is true?
选项 A、People from other cultures or nations start to lose their self-identity once they get settled down in America.

C、The special sense of self-identity of people from other countries can’t be maintained once they become Americans.
D、The "melting pot" finds it capable of melting all the food traditions into the American tradition.
答案B
解析 由选项A)和C)中的self-identity定位到原文第三段第二句The groups that came still have a special sense of self-identity through their ancestral heritage，but they see themselves as Americans．由选项B)和D)中melting pot定位到原文第三段第四、五句The term melting pot was first used in reference to America in the late 1700s， so this belief that we would all become the same has been with us for a long time. Thank goodness it has never worked.[精析] 事实细节题[考频：51]。本题是综合题，对相应细节的把握是解题的关键。可通过排除法选出B)为正确答案。[避错] 原文中的The groups that came still have a special sense of self-identity through their ancestral heritage, but they see themselves as Americans与A)中的lose their self-identity和C)中can’t be maintained不符，故排除这两项；选项D)The“melting pot”finds it capable of melting all the food traditions into the American tradition．与原文Thank goodness it has never worked．意思冲突，排除D)。
