(二)阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答文后的问题。
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 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.
1.Why do people replace old buildings with new ones?
They_want_all_the_conveniences_of_modern_living.
2.What does the example of Al Bastikiya show?
Historic_preservation_brings_economic_benefits.
3.Renovation or demolition, which one does the author support? And why?
Renovation._Historic_preservation_is_an_option_that_opens_many_possibilities_and_it_costs_less_than_new_construction_and_can_preserve_the_beauty_of_the_original_building._Demolition,_in_contrast,_is_irreversible._Once_these_treasures_are_lost,_they_are_lost_forever,_an_important_link_in_our_heritage_that_can_never_be_recovered.
