Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. The fact that people are no longer tied to specific places for functions such as studying or learning, says William Mitchell, a professor of architecture and puter science at MIT, means that there is “a huge drop in demand for traditional, ___51___, enclosed spaces” such as offices or classrooms, and simultaneously “a huge rise in demand for semipublic spaces that can be informally appropriated to adhoc workspaces”. This shift, he thinks, amounts to the biggest change in ___52___ in this century. In the 20th century architecture was about ___53___ structures—offices for working, cafeterias for eating, and so forth. This was necessary because workers needed to be near things such as landline phones, fax machines and filing cabis. The new architecture, says Mr Mitchell, will “make spaces intentionally ___54___”. Architects are thinking about light, air, trees and gardens, all in the service of human connections. Buildings will have much more varied shapes than before. ___55___, people working on laptops find it forting to have their backs to a wall, so hybrid(混合的 ) spaces may bee curvier, with more nooks(角落 ), in order to ___56___ the surface area of their inner walls. “This___57___ is what separates successful spaces and cities from unsuccessful ones,” says Anthony Townsend, an urban planner at the Institute for the Future, a thinktank. Almost any public space can assume some of these features. For example, a notforprofit anization in New York has ___58___ Bryant Park, a once abandoned but charming garden in front of the city’s public library, into a hybrid space popular with office workers. The park’s managers noticed that a lot of visitors were using mobile phones and laptops in the park, so they ___59___ WiFi and added some chairs with foldable lecture desks. The idea was not to distract people from the flowers but to let them customize their little bit of the park. The academic name for such spaces is “third places”, a term originally coined by the sociologist Ray Oldenburg in his 1989 book, “The Great, Good Place”. At the time, long before mobile technologies became widespread, Mr Oldenburg wanted to ___60___ between the sociological functions of people’s first places (their homes), their second places (offices) and the public spaces that ___61___ safe, neutral and informal meeting points. As Mr Oldenburg saw it, a good third place makes admission free or cheap—the price of a cup of coffee, say—offers creature forts, is within walking distance for a particular neighborhood and ___62___ a group of regulars. As more ___63___ places pop up and spread, they also change entire cities. Just as buildings during the 20th century were specialized by ___64___, towns were as well, says Mr Mitchell. Suburbs were for living, downtowns for ___65___ and other areas for playing. But urban nomadism makes districts, like buildings, multifunctional. Parts of town that were monocultures, he says, gradually bee “finegrained mixeduse neighborhoods”. 51. A. additional B. vacant C. private D. narrow 52.

I’m a true, incurable book abuser(施虐人 ). I like to fold dog ears. I like to break my books open so that their backs crack. I had a friend, who loved rubbing all the pages. I have another friend who is the exact opposite. She needs to keep her books pletely new. I understand her. But once I get to know the book, I can’t help but show it some tough love. Because, believe me, although it sounds like I’m an abuser without a heart, that’s what it’s all about. Not hidden aggressions, or a lack of respect。 3． 答題前，務必在答題紙上填寫準考證號和姓名。試卷分為第 Ⅰ 卷和第 Ⅱ 卷。 浦東新區(qū) 2021 年高三綜合練習 英語試卷 考生注意： 1． 考試時間 120 分鐘，試卷滿分 150 分。 2． 本考試設試卷和答題紙兩部分。所有答題必須涂（選擇題）或寫（非選擇題）在答題紙上，做在
