Unit 2 Poems一、阅读理解。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.【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文，讨论了现代建筑是否应该和古老的历史建筑建在一起。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：细节理解题。根据第一段的第三句“Not all historical buildings are attractive.”可知，并非所有的历史建筑都有吸引力。据此可知，一些历史建筑没有吸引力，故D项正确。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：细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句“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.”可知，作者认为一些历史建筑破坏了它们所在地区的环境，所以选A项。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：词义猜测题。根据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，如果我们不改变建筑风格，我们现在还住在山洞里面；据此可以判断，“move things forward”的意思是“选择新的建筑风格”，所以选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：写作意图题。通读文章可知，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？”为本文主旨句；结合全文可知，本文旨在论证现代建筑可以建在有历史遗迹的地方，所以选B。二、单句语法填空1Is there anything _ particular that you want to talk about?答案：inin particular为固定的介词短语，作后置定语，修饰anything，意为“特别的”。2If we _ (exchange) telephone number last week, I would have no trouble getting in touch with you now.答案：had exchanged该句为错综时间虚拟条件句。由last week可知，从句表示与过去事实相反，故应填had exchanged。3Although _ (tease) about fatness, she still has confidence in her performance of daily life.答案：teased主语she与tease之间为被动关系，故应用过去分词作状语。4This is a poem that perfectly _ (convey) to the readers what the poet feels.答案：conveys由主句谓语动词is和从句中的feels可以判断用一般现在时。定语从句的先行词为a poem，为单数形式，故从句谓语动词也应用第三人称单数形式conveys，该从句含有“convey sth. to sb.”的结构。5She always exchanges words _ her neighbours.答案：withexchange . with . “和交换”。6Since then it _ (transform) itself from a small fishing village into a major financial centre.答案：has transformed由since then可知，句子应用现在完成时。7In some places women are expected to earn money _ men work at home and raise their children.答案：whilewhile “而，然而”，可用于表示两种情况的对比。8With something important _ (talk) about with you, you must stay here.答案：to talk该句为“with宾语to do”复合结构，to do表示将来的动作。9He just took _ for granted that he would pass the exam.答案：ittake it for granted that . 为常用句式，意为“认为是理所当然的”。10I think her _ (translate) of the article is much better.答案：translation由her可知，应填所给词的名词形式translation，意为“翻译；译文”。三、完形填空。We have all heard of giant pandas, and know that they are endangered.

Human children often pass the test when they are only two years old.Many other animals have passed the mirror test, including monkeys, Asian elephants and even pigeons. But when researchers tested pandas, _12_ of them did the same thing as those animals did. _13_， each panda behaved as if their _14_ in the mirror was another panda altogether.

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