9、 all historical buildings are attractive.However,there may be other reasonsfor example,economic(经济的)reasonswhy they should be preserved.So,let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people.What should we do then if a new building is needed?In my view

10、,new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style.Indeed,there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings.As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate(影响)its surroundi

11、ngs too much,it often improves the attractiveness of the area.It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt(破坏)the area they are in,but the same can be said of some old buildings too.Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas.I think this is simply because

12、 people are naturally conservative(保守的)and do not like change.Although we have to respect peoples feelings as fellow users of the buildings,I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward.If we always reproduced what was there before,we would all still be living in

13、caves.Thus,I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different,even though that might be the more risky choice.1What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?A.Some of them are not attractive.B.Most of them are too expensi

14、ve to preserve.C.They are more pleasing than modern buildings.D.They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.解析细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“Notallhistoricalbuildingsareattractive.”可知,作者认为并非所有的古建筑都能引人入胜,故选 A 项。答案 A 2Which of the following is true according to the author?A.We should reproduce the same

15、old buildings.B.Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.C.Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.D.No one understands why people speak against new buildings.解析细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知,有些古建筑也同样也破坏了它们所在的区域,故 C项正确。答案 C 3By“move things forward”in the last paragraph,the author probably mean

16、s“”.A.destroy old buildings B.put things in a different place C.choose new architectural styles D.respect peoples feelings for historical buildings 解析词义猜测题。根据第四段可知,如果我们依然复制以前的建筑样式,那我们现在还住在洞穴里。因此,作者建议使用新的不同的样式来替代,即便会冒一定的风险。故选 C 项。答案 C 4What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To explain why people d

17、islike change.B.To warn that we could end up living in caves.C.To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.D.To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.解析写作意图题。第一段第一句以及最后一段最后一句前后呼应,表明了作者的观点,故选 D项。答案 D B(导学号 51860025)We began the task early in 2009,about a year after

20、ere made both inside and outside of Grandma and Grandpas country home.In a few weeks The Hill Farm will belong to another family.Getting every last item out of The Hill Farm will be difficult.When I was packing up boxes and other belongings,my stomach clenched(收紧)at the thought that this rare and be

21、autiful home will no longer be our familys.But it is time to let go.As author Juan Nakamori wrote,“If you have been grasping onto something,try to let it go.Your empty hands will be ready to receive a new gift.”I am not sure what this new gift will be.Perhaps the pleasure will include seeing more li

22、ghts in the windows,activities on the farm,and even getting to know the new family.Anyway,I will hold on to the memories made at The Hill Farm and will continue to share them with my children.And now I will let go of The Hill Farm.May it be filled with love again,and with new gifts to be shared by t

23、he family who will call it home.5What does the underlined part“the task”in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.Clearing the farm.B.Looking for treasures.C.Reading classic books.D.Visiting family members.解析篇章结构题。由第一段及第三段中的“.Iwaspackingupboxesandotherbelongings.”可知,作者和家人早在 2009 年初就开始了清理农场的工作。故 A 项正确。答案 A 6What is

24、Paragraph 2 mainly about?A.Memories about the farm.B.Games the author used to play.C.The purpose of buying the farm.D.The authors unforgettable childhood.解析段落大意题。第二段主要讲作者的家人之前在农场的幸福生活,即关于农场的回忆。答案 A 7To the author,Juan Nakamoris words sound .A.very surprising B.really comforting C.quite discouraging

26、toletgo”及 文 章 最 后 一 句“Mayitbefilledwithloveagain,andwithnewgiftstobesharedbythefamilywhowillcallithome.”可知,作者将放弃这个美丽的农场。答案 B 六、短文改错(导学号 51860026)When I was a child,I hoped to live in the city.I think I would be happy there.Now I am living in a city,but I miss my home in countryside.There the air is
