The neighborhoods that I knew as a boy, filled with beautiful old buildings, have mostly disappeared, and in their place modern, high-rise buildings have appeared. There is good reason for this. Residents want all the conveniences of modern living. However, how can our children understand and maintain their cultural identity if we erase so much of the physical evidence of it? The arguments for preserving historic buildings are not simply about an emotional attachment to the past. There are also good economic arguments in favour of preservation. The renovation (修) and preservation of historic districts can become an economic engine, drawing tourists and small businesses to the area. For example, in Dubai, the historic AI Bastikiya distric draws thousands of tourists every year from all over the world. It also attracts local residents. eager to learn about their city's past. Some have argued that historic preservation is too expensive, but many recent projects have demonstrated that this is not necessarily the case. In fact, renovation of an existing structure for adaptive reuse can cost about f40 per square metre less than even the most basic new construction, while preserving the beauty of the original building. And, although it is often claimed that old buildings have a more significant environmental footprint than new construction because they aren't very energy efficient, architects and environmental experts maintain that the greenest building is the one that is already built. New construction almost always has a more serious environmental impact because it requires the use of all-new materials that must be transported, often over long distances, instead of recycled materials that are already on site. We recycle so many other things. We can and should recycle buildings, too. 南宁二中高一下期末考试英语试题 共8页 第4页 扫描全能王 创建 Historic preservation is an option that opens many possibilities: demolition (拆毁), in contrast. is irreversible. Once these treasures are lost, they are lost forever, an important link in our heritage that can never be recovered. 28. What drives people to replace old buildings with new ones? A.

D A. wildlife photographer was waiting, hoping to get a shot of a relatively rare bird, a particular kind of heron (鹭). He'd waited several frustrating hours in the woods, but with no uck at all. Suddenly, to the photographer's delight, a heron settled on a branch right in front of him. The photographer raised his camera and took the shot. Feeling particularly pleased, the photographer looked at the image. To his astonishment, he saw that behind the heron, his photograph had also captured a very, very rare woodpecker flying past. He hadn't seen it, but without even trying, he'd photographed an even rarer bird than the one he was aiming for. This is an example of serendipity Cases of serendipity can be found in numerous fields, such as science. Back in the 18oOs, a man called Wells was at a demonstration (演示) of laughing gas. After being given the gas, the patient started laughing, as expected. But then he suddenly fell over and cut his leg rather badly To everyone's surprise, the man reported that he couldn't feel any pain. Wells hadn't been looking for it, but he'd made a medical discovery - certain gases reduce and can even almost eradicate pain. Had Wells not been there that night, anesthesia (麻醉) might have taken longer tc :be discoyered Most of us can probably think of at least one example of serendipity in our own lives. Jane. a friend of mine, was trying to come up with an idea for an article but got completely stuck. Frustrated, she decided to go out to a local cafe. As she was sipping her coffee, she heard two people talking behind her. A man was telling a story that sounded so unbelievable that she knew it had to be true.

So it was with Mama's soup pot. Mama's soup was special because there was no recipe for it. It had been so since her girlhood in Italy, where she learned its secret from her grandma, who had inherited(继承) it from generation to generation. Also, it was a symbol of security. For our large immigrant family. Mama's soup guaranteed we would never go hungry. And we could judge our economic conditions by its contents. At one time, however, Mama's soup pot became a source of embarrassment to me, for I feared it would cost me a new friend I had made at school. Sol was an unusual pal for me because his father was a doctor and they lived in the best part of our town. Often Sol invited me to his home for dinner, where I found the food was good but tasteless, lacking the heartiness of the one served from my mom's flame-blackened pots. Moreover, the atmosphere matched the food and everything was so formal. Sol's mother and father were polite, but the conversation around the table was not natural, which made me a little depressed. And no one hugged! In my family, warm hugs were a constant-men, women, boys and girls-and if you didn't kiss your mother, she demanded: "What's the matter? You sick?" But at that time in my life, all this was an embarrassment. I had known Sol would like to eat dinner at my house, but that was the last thing I wanted My family was so different. No other kids had such pots on their stoves, nor did they have a mama whose first action upon seeing you enter the house was to sit you down with a spoon and bowl. One day, Sol pointedly asked if he could come to my house. I had to say yes. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The day Sol came over I was nervous.

Admittedly, the Internet makes it convenient for us to befriend people from diverse cultures, which enriches our life as well as broadens our horizons. However, every coin has two sides. There exist some drawbacks as well in terms of online friendship. Quite a few students get addicted to the virtual world, which greatly affects their social life in reality. Besides, due to the uncertainty of the so-called friends online, it is likely that we’ll get cheated and became victims of online fraud. Everything taken into consideration, we are supposed to have a reasonable attitude towards making friends online and think twice before making any decision. 读后续写范文 The day Sol came over I was nervous. I firmly believed that eating with my family would turn Sol off completely. I wished he wouldn't come, but he knocked on the door as scheduled. Mama and other family members welcomed him with hugs and slaps on the back, which embarrassed me greatly. Soon we were sitting at the table. And sure enough, we were instantly faced with bowls of soup. Mama then started a long explanation of how the soup was made and its magic power. Sol listened with great interest while having the soup which I thought might turn his stomach. But Sol quickly finished his bowl and asked for one more. He said, "I’ve never tasted anything like this, and it makes me feel warm and at ease." I breathed a sigh of relief. When we were saying our good-byes, Sol said with admiration, "You are lucky to have such a great family." Lucky? I wondered as he walked down the street waving and smiling. Today I know how lucky I was. I know what Sol experienced at our table was much more than the physical and spiritual warmth of Mama's delicious soup. It was the pure joy of a family table where the real feast was love. 答案详解 听力原文 Text 1 W: What time is your mother arriving? M: She was supposed to catch the noon bus but she called me to say she missed it. So she plans to take the 3:30 which will get her here after dinner time.

Text 3 M: I think I’d like to be a lawyer after graduation as the job sounds interesting. How about you? W: I wouldn’t want to be a lawyer. I prefer to be a teacher though my parents expect me to be a doctor. Text 4 W: Good morning. I have an appointment with Mr. Davis at 11 o’clock. M: Yes, he left a message for you, saying he’s terribly sorry but he’s stuck in traffic. Please take a seat and he’ll be here as soon as possible. Text 5 M: Good afternoon. I’m Robert Anderson. I have an appointment with Mrs Brown. Is she in? W: Yes, she is. She’s been waiting for you in her office. Please come in. Text 6 W: Excuse me, sir. I’m afraid you can’t park your car here. M: Why not? It’s my parking place. W: I’m afraid not, sir. M: Oh? That’s a surprise. Let me see… A1214. It’s my wife’s birthday. Yes, I’m sure this is my parking place. W: But I saw a black car always parking here before. M: Oh, we’ve just painted our car. It was black. W: Maybe. But the car of this space has a broken light on the right. M: Yeah. It used to. We got that fixed yesterday, too. W: Could you wait for a moment, sir? I’d like to have a check. M: Sure, go ahead. W: Sorry, sir, my mistake. This is your parking place. M: That’s all right. It’s not your fault. Text 7 M: There’s a lot of traffic on the street. Is this the shopping district? W: Yes, it is. There are a lot of stores, office buildings, and theatres near here. M: What is the largest building on the left? W: That’s a department store. It sells clothing, furniture, food—almost everything. M: Do you buy everything in the same store? That’s very handy, isn’t it? It saves a lot of time. I need some clothes. W: There’s a men’s clothing store next to the bank building on the right. There are also some good stores on Lincoln Street. M: That’s a beautiful theatre on the corner. What do all the signs in front of it mean? W: There’s a new play there tonight. The building next to the theatre is a hotel. M: Is that the post office across the street? W: No, it’s just three blocks straight ahead. Text 8 W: Well, do you want to have a picnic in the park on Saturday? M: That’s a good idea. And we can ride our bikes for a while, too. W: Then there’s the party. M: Party? What party? W: Have you forgotten? Mark and Mary invited us to dinner on Saturday night. M: Ah, I had forgotten. What time will we get home, do you think? W: Probably late. Mary wants to go out after dinner to a place where we can dance. M: Then we’ll sleep all day on Sunday. W: Oh, not all day. Don’t you have something special that you want to do on Sunday? M: We talked about going to that new movie. W: Oh, yes! We can go in the evening. There are some new paintings in the museum that I want to take a look at in the afternoon. M: It sounds like a busy weekend. W: Our weekends are always busy. But that’s why I like New York — there is always so much to do. Text 9 M: So Maria, what can you tell us about your plans for the future? W: Well, I’ve been considering taking a year out after I graduate. You know, maybe travel around the world and see some different countries. M: What do you hope to gain from traveling? W: It will give me a chance to experience different cultures first-hand rather than read about them in a book. But I also think that the experience I gain will help me find a good job when I come back. M: Can you explain why you think traveling will help you find a job? W: Well, the way I see it, the modern business environment is changing. Therefore, to be successful in one’s life, it is important to be able to accept changes. You should be willing to change your attitudes, and even working habits to suit the ever-changing environment. M: Er…It sounds reasonable. W: I also believe that traveling will teach me to be independent, as well as to value other people. M: Why do you believe traveling will help you to value other people? W: As you know, when you’re traveling you can’t get help from your family, so you have to depend on your friends, or even turn to unknown people. M: Oh, I see. You’re right, Maria. Text 10 I am Steve. I grew up in South Wales. My favorite place to play was out on the hills where my imagination had plenty of space to expand. My family moved out of Wales when I was thirteen. I went to a new school. One of my subjects was French. Because I had never learned any French, my teacher told me to sit in the corner and write anything I was interested in. That’s the time I started writing, just for myself, and I’ve been writing ever since. I enjoy writing fantastic stories. I think they’re like the old fairy tales, and can teach you important things. But I never write horror stories. I am in my forties on the outside, twelve on the inside. I like rock music, Indian and Chinese food, and I enjoy drinking.

She started dancing at two. (纳西娅虽然个子很小，但很快就证明了她的才华和她的生存意志一样强大。她两岁开始跳舞。)”可知，Nasya很有才华; 根据倒数第二段中“She also provided community service by teaching drama to the children at the shelter. Nasya wanted the kids at the shelter to discover the confidence that acting could give. (她还通过向庇护所的孩子们教授戏剧来提供社区服务。纳西娅希望庇护所的孩子们能够发现表演可以带来的自信。)”可知，Nasya很关心他人，故选B。 26. 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Nasya wanted the kids at the shelter to discover the confidence that acting could give.

The children have been given a chance to live their dreams onstage, thanks to volunteer acting coach Nasya Mancini. (演员阵容由居住在里诺美国志愿者家庭庇护所的无家可归的儿童组成。感谢志愿表演教练纳西娅·曼奇尼(Nasya Mancini)的帮助，孩子们有机会在舞台上实现自己的梦想。)” 可知，文章主要讲述了Nasya Mancini虽然是早产儿，但是她意志力坚强，决心成为一名演员，最终她的梦想实现了，她还帮助无家可归的儿童在舞台上实现他们的梦想。D项“与无家可归的青少年分享她的梦想。”适合作文章标题，故选D。 C篇 28. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The neighborhoods that I knew as a boy, filled with beautiful old buildings, have mostly disappeared, and in their place, modern, high-rise buildings have appeared. There is good reason for this. Residents want all the conveniences of modern living. (我小时候所熟悉的社区，到处都是美丽的老建筑，现在大部分都消失了，取而代之的是现代化的高层建筑。这是有充分理由的。居民们想要现代生活的一切便利)"可知，是人们对现代舒适的渴望驱使人们用新建筑取代旧建筑。故选D项。 29. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“There novation (修缮)and preservation of historic districts can become an economic engine, drawing tourists and small businesses to the area.

Once these treasures are lost, they are lost forever, an important link in our heritage that can never be recovered. (历史保护是一种提供多种可能性的选择;相反，拆迁是不可逆转的。一旦这些宝藏失去，它们就永远失去了，这是我们遗产中一个永远无法恢复的重要环节)” 可推知，作者对历史保护的态度是积极的和支持的。故选A项。 D篇 32. 词句猜测题。根据第一段“A wildlife photographer was waiting, hoping to get a shot of a relatively rare bird, a particular kind of heron (鹭). He'd waited several frustrating hours in the woods, but with no luck at all. Suddenly, to the photographer's delight, a heron settled on a branch right in front of him. The photographer raised his camera and took the shot. Feeling particularly pleased, the photographer looked at the image. To his astonishment, he saw that behind the heron, his photograph had also captured a very, very rare woodpecker flying past. He hadn't seen it, but without even trying, he'd photographed an even rarer bird than the one he was aiming for. (一位野生动物摄影师在等着，希望能拍到一种相对罕见的鸟，一种特殊的苍鹭。他在树林里沮丧地等了几个小时，但一点运气也没有。突然，让摄影师高兴的是，一只苍鹭停在他面前的树枝上。摄影师举起相机拍了下来。摄影师看着这张照片，感到特别高兴。令他惊讶的是，他看到在苍鹭的后面，他的照片还捕捉到了一只非常非常罕见的啄木鸟飞过。他没有看到它，但他甚至没有尝试，他拍到了一只比他瞄准的那只更稀有的鸟)” 可知，摄影师本来想拍苍鹭，结果偶然拍到了更稀有的啄木鸟，所以第一段中的“serendipity”—词是指偶然发现有价值的东西。故选C。 33. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Back in the1800s, a man called Wells was at a demonstration (演示) of laughing gas. After being given the gas, the patient started laughing, as expected. But then he suddenly fell over and cut his leg rather badly. To everyone's surprise, the man reported that he couldn't feel any pain. (早在19世纪，一个叫威尔斯的人参加了笑气的演示。不出所料，注射完气体后，病人笑了起来。但是他突然摔倒了，伤得很重。令每个人吃惊的是，那个人报告说他感觉不到任何疼痛)” 可知，气体的止痛作用让威尔斯感到惊讶。故选B。 34. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Jane, a friend of mine, was trying to come up with an idea for an article but got completely stuck. Frustrated, she decided to go out to a local cafe. (我的一个朋友简试图想出一个文章的想法，但完全卡住了。她很沮丧，决定去当地的一家咖啡馆)” 可知，简去咖啡馆是为了休息一下。故选A。 35. 推理判断题。根据第一段“This is an example of serendipity. (这是一个意外发现的例子)”以及第三段“Most of us can probably think of at least one example of serendipity in our own lives. (在我们的生活中，我们大多数人可能至少能想到一个意外的例子)”结合文章主要通过三件事来说明生活中会偶然发现有价值的事物的现象。可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是解释一个概念。故选A。 七选五 36. 根据上文“Given the proper climatic conditions, you can grow tomatoes nearly anywhere. Before you grow tomatoes, check if your area has the right climatic conditions for this purpose.(在适当的气候条件下，你几乎可以在任何地方种植西红柿。在你种植西红柿之前，检查你所在地区的气候条件是否适合种植西红柿)”以及后文“And if it doesn’t, just give up this idea.(如果不适合，就放弃这个想法)”可知，后文假设了不适合种植西红柿的情况，可知本句是在假设气候条件适合的情况，故C选项“如果适合，找一些土地种植”符合语境，故选C。 37. 根据后文“One is to grow them from seed and the other is to grow them from the plants.(一种是从种子中培养出来的，另一种是从植物中培养出来的)”可知，种植西红柿有两种方法，一种是从种子中培养出来的，另一种是从植物中培养出来。故E选项“你有两种种植西红柿的方法”符合语境，故选E。 38. 根据上文“Tomatoes don’t grow well in cool conditions. (西红柿在凉爽的条件下长不好)”可知，上文提到西红柿在凉爽的条件下长不好，可知本句承接上文说明适合西红柿生长的温度环境，G选项中They指代上文Tomatoes。故G选项“它们需要65°F或更高的平均温度才能生长良好”符合语境，故选G。 39. 根据上文“Tomatoes require areas with full sun and should have enough protection from strong winds as well, that’s more, they require a lot of water; therefore, you had better water your tomato plants regularly. (西红柿需要阳光充足的地方，也应该有足够的保护，以防强风，更重要的是，它们需要大量的水；因此，你最好定期给你的番茄植株浇水)”可知，上文提到了种植西红柿需要阳光充足、足够的保护和大量的水，这些都是种植西红柿需要注意的因素。故F选项“要把西红柿种好，注意所有这些因素”符合语境，故选F。 40. 根据上文“Check tomato plants daily for any ripe produce. Picking often helps more to grow. Once the end of growing season is coming, it’s helpful to remove any flowers as well.(每天检查番茄植株是否有成熟的果实。采摘往往有助于更多的成长。一旦生长季节结束，也可以把花移走)”可知，上文提到采摘有助于西红柿生长，且提到了把花移走，可见本句承接上文说明这么做的原因：帮助现有的果实生长。故B选项“这样做可以帮助现有的果实生长”符合语境，故选B。 完形填空 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个寒冷的午后，蒂娜在花园里看到一只新生的小鸟。随后，蒂娜带着小鸟回到家里，细心照顾这只小鸟，并取名格雷西。一年后，一家人把格雷西送回到野生的环境。蒂娜被诊断患癌症之后，手术结束从医院回到家里，格雷西再次出现在蒂娜的家里。因为格雷西的陪伴，蒂娜慢慢康复了。 41．B。考查形容词和副词词义辨析。句意：她知道如果不管它，它就活不下去了，所以她把它带了进来。A. absent缺席的；B. alone孤独的；C. apart分开；D. around周围；四周。根据上文 “a newborn bird”可知，刚出生的小鸟在花园里，要是被独自留下的话，就活不成。make it“成功”，故选B。 42．C。考查名词词义辨析。句意：她几乎不知道那只鸟会对她造成什么影响。A. impression印象；B. mess.凌乱；一团糟；C. impact影响；D. comment评论。结合下文“It is Gracie that gave me hope and strength.
