四、(23-24高一上·浙江台州·期末)阅读理解
Everywhere I look, there are new buildings under construction. 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 (修缮) and preservation of historic districts can become an economic engine, drawing tourists and small businesses to the area. For example, in Dubai, the historic Al Bastikiya district 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 £40 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 (影响) 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.
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.
9.What drives people to replace old buildings with new ones?
A.Their dislike of old buildings. B.Their pride in cultural identity.
C.Their concern about young generations. D.Their desire for modern comforts.
10.What does the example of Al Bastikiya show?
A.Historic renovation costs much money.
B.Local governments support small businesses.
C.Historic preservation brings economic benefits.
D.International tourism promises economic recovery.
11.What can be inferred about renovating old buildings from paragraph 3?
A.It uses green materials. B.It damages architectural beauty.
C.It reduces enviromental impact. D.It worries environmental experts.
12.What is the author’s attitude towards historic preservation?
A.Positive. B.Doubtful. C.Disapproving. D.Objective.
五、(山东省泰安市2023-2024学年高一下学期7月期末考)语法填空
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。
Recently, I started a journey to Hongyang village, Guizhou province, eager to explore its rich history and traditional practices. As our car wound its way along the wandering roads that hugged the mountainside, I 36 (attract) by the graceful beauty of the mist-shrouded (云雾缭绕的) landscape.
Upon reaching Hongyang village, I was greeted by the warm smiles of the locals, 37 hospitality (好客) immediately made me feel welcome. Eager to immerse myself in the village’s customs, I set out 38 (explore) its time-honored traditions, with a particular focus on the art of making rice wine, 39 valuable practice passed down through generations.
40 my journey didn’t end with the production of rice wine. One of the most wonderful parts of my visit was the opportunity to take part in the village’s wonderful festivals, where age-old ceremonies and performances 41 (bring) the community together in a celebration of shared heritage.
In short, my trip to Hongyang village was more than just a travel experience; it was a journey of self-discovery and 42 (culture) appreciation. As I reflect on the misty valleys and winding roads that led me to this hidden paradise, I am reminded 43 the words of the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu: “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” And 44 (actual), my journey to Guizhou province has left an unforgettable mark on my soul, 45 (inspire) me to continue exploring the world with an open heart and a curious mind.

【答案】9.D 10.C 11.C 12.A
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讨论了人们对保护遗产的看法。
9.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。
10.细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The renovation (修缮)and preservation of historic districts can become an economic engine, drawing tourists and small businesses to the area. For example, in Dubai, the historic Al Bastikiya district draws thousands of tourists every year from all over the world.(对历史街区的改造和保护可以成为一个经济引擎,吸引游客和小企业来到该地区。例如,在迪拜,历史悠久的Al bastikiya区每年吸引成千上万来自世界各地的游客)”可知,举Al bastikiya的例子表明:文物保护带来经济效益。故选C项。
11.推理判断题。根据文章第三段“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.(而且,尽管人们经常声称老建筑的环境足迹比新建筑更大,因为它们不是很节能,但建筑师和环境专家坚持认为,最环保的建筑是已经建成的建筑)”可推知,翻新旧建筑减少了对环境的影响。故选C项。
12.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“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.(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。

We visited the West Lake, a beautiful natural landscape that has been a source of inspiration for generations of poets and artists. Next, we made our way to the Songcheng Scenic Area, where we explored the ancient streets and buildings that once thrived as a commercial hub. Walking through the narrow lanes, we could almost imagine the bustling market scene of the past. Later, we visited the Hangzhou Museum, where we learned more about the historical and cultural heritage of the city. The exhibits ranging from ancient pottery and calligraphy sets to traditional costumes and musical instruments provided a window into the rich tapestry of Hangzhou's history.
