Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors.阅读理解A(2017江西新余一中、宜春一中联考) 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 (影响) 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 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.1.What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?A.Most of them are too expensive to preserve.B.They are more pleasing than modern buildings.C.They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.D.Some of them are not attractive.2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the author?A.Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.B.We should reproduce the same old buildings.C.Buildings should not dominate their surroundings.D.No one understands why people speak against new buildings.3.By “move things forward” in the last paragraph, the author probably means “”.A.destroy old buildingsB.put things in a different placeC.choose new architectural stylesD.respect peoples feelings for historical buildings4.What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To explain why people dislike change.B.To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.C.To warn that we could end up living in caves.D.To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.BMy color television has given me nothing but a headache.I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldnt fit.I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model.I realized this a day later,when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid.The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night.Fortunately,I didnt get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电)noise.For some reason,when certain shows switched into a mercial,a loud noise would sound for a few seconds.Gradually,this noise began to appear during a show,and to get rid of it,I had to change to another channel and then change it back.Sometimes this technique would not work,and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound.I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉)shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise,I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away.At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist,and it stopped working altogether.My trip to the repair shop cost me $62,and the set is working well now,but I keep expecting more trouble.5.Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A.He got an older model than he had expected.B.He couldnt return it when it was broken.C.He could have bought it at a lower price.D.He failed to find any movie shows on it.6.Which of the following can best replace the phrase“signed off”in Paragraph 1?A.ended all their programsB.provided fewer channelsC.changed to mercialsD.showed all-night movies7.How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A.By shaking and hitting it.B.By turning it on and off.C.By switching channels.D.By having it repaired.8.How does the author sound when telling the story?A.Curious.B.Anxious.C.Cautious.D.Humorous.语法填空(2017河北武邑调研)阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。Online shopping is in fashion in most cities, where people are able to make full use of the rapidly-developed internet technology.
