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. What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph? A. Some of them are not attractive. B. Most of them ate too expensive to preserve. C. They are more pleasing than modern buildings. D. They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area. 69. Which of the following is true according to the author? A. We should reproduce the same 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. 70. By “move things forward ” in the last paragraph , the author probably means “______”. A. Destroy old buildings B. Put things in a different place C. Choose new architectural styles D. Respect people?s feelings for historical buildings 71. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain why people dislike 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. 【篇章導(dǎo)讀】這是一篇議論文。 68. A【解析】細節(jié)題。 69. C【解析】推理題。 70. C 【解析】推理題。 71.

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.

They eat, wear, go and talk too much.”以及該段內(nèi)容本句 “They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut.”可知，有些人無論物質(zhì)上多 么富有，但是在精神生活很貧窮。根據(jù)第五段中的 “Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment.”可知，文學(xué)可以豐富我們的精神生活。文中的 “Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅 ) , a royal palace. Here are several rooms your house of life should have. …Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.”可知， House of Life 作文章的標題最佳。諸多城市人對電梯有誤解，然而電梯在城市的發(fā)展中有顯
