Ⅰ. 阅读理解

A

(2025·吉林长春联考)Sometime in the early 1960s，a significant thing happened in Sydney，Australia.The city discovered its harbor.Then，one after another，Sydney discovered lots of things that were just sort of there — broad parks，superb beaches，and a culturally diverse population.But

it is the harbor that makes the city.

Andrew Reynolds，a cheerful fellow in his early 30s，pilots Sydney ferryboats for a living.I spent the whole morning shuttling back and forth across the harbor.After our third run Andrew shut down the engine，and we went our separate ways — he for a lunch break，I to explore the city.

“I'll miss these old boats，” he said as we parted.

“How do you mean？” I asked.

“Oh，they're replacing them with catamarans.Catamarans are faster，but they're not so graceful and they're not fun to pilot.But that's progress，I guess.”

Everywhere in Sydney these days，change and progress are the watchwords (口号)，and traditions are increasingly rare.Shirley Fitzgerald，the city's official historian，told me that in its rush to modernity in the 1970s.Sydney swept aside much of its past，including many of its finest buildings.“Sydney is confused about itself，” she said.“We can't seem to make up our minds whether we want a modern city or a traditional one.It's a conflict that we aren't getting any better at resolving (解决).”

On the other hand，being young and old at the same time has its attractions.I considered this when I met a thoughtful young businessman named Anthony.“Many people say that we lack culture in this country，” he told me.“What people forget is that the Italians，when they came to Australia，brought 2，000 years of their culture，the Greeks some 3，000 years，and the Chinese more still.We've got a foundation built on ancient cultures but with a drive and dynamism of a young country.It's a pretty hard combination to beat.”

He is right，but I can't help wishing they would keep those old ferries.

B．The cultural diversity of Sydney.

C．The city's key lies in its port.

2．What can we learn about Andrew Reynolds?
