Unit 2 Poems李仕才一、閱讀理解。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 reasonsfor example, economic 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, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown 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 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 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.【解題導語】本文是一篇議論文，討論了現(xiàn)代建筑是否應該和古老的歷史建筑建在一起。1What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?AMost of them are too expensive to preserve.BThey are more pleasing than modern buildings.CThey have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.DSome of them are not attractive.D解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的第三句“Not all historical buildings are attractive.”可知，并非所有的歷史建筑都有吸引力。據(jù)此可知，一些歷史建筑沒有吸引力，故D項正確。2Which of the following is TRUE according to the author?ASome old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.BWe should reproduce the same old buildings.CBuildings should not dominate their surroundings.DNo one understands why people speak against new buildings.A解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的第一句“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，作者認為一些歷史建筑破壞了它們所在地區(qū)的環(huán)境，所以選A項。3By using the words “move things forward” in the last paragraph, the author probably means “ ”Adestroy old buildingsBput things in a different placeCchoose new architectural stylesDrespect peoples feelings for historical buildingsC解析：詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文章第四段的第二句“If we always reproduced what was there before，we would all still be living in caves.”可知，如果我們不改變建筑風格，我們現(xiàn)在還住在山洞里面；據(jù)此可以判斷，“move things forward”的意思是“選擇新的建筑風格”，所以選C。4What is the main purpose of the passage?ATo explain why people dislike change.BTo argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.CTo warn that we could end up living in caves.DTo admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.B解析：寫作意圖題。通讀文章可知，第一段的第一句“Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city？”為本文主旨句；結(jié)合全文可知，本文旨在論證現(xiàn)代建筑可以建在有歷史遺跡的地方，所以選B。二、單句語法填空1Is there anything _ particular that you want to talk about?答案：inin particular為固定的介詞短語，作后置定語，修飾anything，意為“特別的”。2If we _ (exchange) telephone number last week, I would have no trouble getting in touch with you now.答案：had exchanged該句為錯綜時間虛擬條件句。由last week可知，從句表示與過去事實相反，故應填had exchanged。3Although _ (tease) about fatness, she still has confidence in her performance of daily life.答案：teased主語she與tease之間為被動關系，故應用過去分詞作狀語。4This is a poem that perfectly _ (convey) to the readers what the poet feels.答案：conveys由主句謂語動詞is和從句中的feels可以判斷用一般現(xiàn)在時。定語從句的先行詞為a poem，為單數(shù)形式，故從句謂語動詞也應用第三人稱單數(shù)形式conveys，該從句含有“convey sth. to sb.”的結(jié)構。5She always exchanges words _ her neighbours.答案：withexchange . with . “和交換”。6Since then it _ (transform) itself from a small fishing village into a major financial centre.答案：has transformed由since then可知，句子應用現(xiàn)在完成時。7In some places women are expected to earn money _ men work at home and raise their children.答案：whilewhile “而，然而”，可用于表示兩種情況的對比。8With something important _ (talk) about with you, you must stay here.答案：to talk該句為“with賓語to do”復合結(jié)構，to do表示將來的動作。9He just took _ for granted that he would pass the exam.答案：ittake it for granted that . 為常用句式，意為“認為是理所當然的”。10I think her _ (translate) of the article is much better.答案：translation由her可知，應填所給詞的名詞形式translation，意為“翻譯；譯文”。三、完形填空。We have all heard of giant pandas, and know that they are endangered.

For example, onedirectional glass sometimes used in the areas may _18_ pandas to feel stressed when they see their own image in the _19_.
