Thus , I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different , even though that might be the more risky choice.”可知，作者的觀點(diǎn)是有古老的建筑風(fēng)格的地方可選擇新的建筑風(fēng)格，這是建筑師和規(guī)劃師的責(zé)任。根據(jù)第三段中的“It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破壞) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too.”可知，一些新建筑會毀掉他們所在地區(qū)的面貌，反之易然，一些舊建筑物也會破壞了所在的面貌。根據(jù)第一段中的“Not all historical buildings are attractive.”可知，不是所有的古代建筑都很吸引人。有歷史遺跡的地方是否可建設(shè)現(xiàn)代建筑？作者認(rèn)為新的建筑風(fēng)格能與古老的風(fēng)格共存。 飛揚(yáng)英語之高考閱讀 解析精品2014年全國高考英語試題閱讀理解分類匯編之議論文(2014安徽卷) D Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons for example, economic (經(jīng)濟(jì)的) reasons—why 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, 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 (影響) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破壞) 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 people are naturally conservative(保守的) and do not like change.Although we have to respect people39。s 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 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.68.

D 【解析】推理題。(2014福建卷) D Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money. Strange as it may seem, if you39。t have enough tastes. Real riches consist of welldeveloped and hearty capacities (能力) to enjoy life. Most people are already swamped(淹沒) with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much. They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut. Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅) , a royal palace. Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. Here are several rooms your house of life should have. Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you39。s and Bach39。t be absent.
