问题     The culture of the United States is a Western culture originally influenced
by European cultures. It has been developed since long before the United【S1】______
States became a country with its own unique social and cultural
characteristics such as dialect, music, arts, social habits, cuisine and
folklore. Today, the United States of America is an ethnically and racially
diverse country in a result of large-scale immigration from many different【S2】______
countries throughout its history.
    Its chief early influences came from English and Irish settlers of colonial
America. British culture, due to colonial ties to Britain that spread the【S3】______
English language, legal system and other cultural inheritances, had a formal【S4】______
influence. Other important influences came from other parts of western
Europe, especially Germany, France and Italy.
    Original elements also act a strong role, such as the invention of【S5】______
Jeffersonian Democracy. Thomas Jefferson’s Notes on the State of Virginia
was perhaps the first influenced domestic cultural critique by an American【S6】______
and a reactionary piece to the prevailing European consensus that America’s
domestic originality was degenerate. Prevalent ideas and ideals which
evolved domestic such as national holidays, unique American sports, military【S7】______
tradition and innovations in the arts and entertainment gives a strong sense of【S8】______
national pride among the population as a whole.
    American culture includes both conservative and liberal elements,
military and scientific competitiveness, political structures, risk take and free【S9】______
expression, materialist and moral elements. Despite of certain consistent【S10】______
ideological principles(Se. g. individualism, egalitarianism, and faith in
freedom and democracy), American culture has a variety of expressions due
to its geographical scale and demographic diversity. [br] 【S4】

答案 formal—formative
解析 词法错误，词义混淆。formal意思是“正式的”；formative意思是“形成的，潜移默化的”。根据句意应使用后者，故将formal改为formative。
