modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a 第 4 页 共 7 页 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 reasons for example economic reasons why 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 and do not like change Although we have to respect people s 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 69 What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph A Some of them are not attractive B Most of them are too expensive to preserve C They are more pleasing than modern buildings D They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area 70 Why do people still speak against new buildings in historic areas according to the author A Because historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people B Because new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style C Because people like following old ideas and do not like change D Because people have to respect new architectural styles 71 Which of the following is true according to the author A We should reproduce the same old buildings B Buildings should not dominate their surroundings C Some old buildings have spoilt the area they are in D No one understands why people speak against new buildings 72 By using move things forward in the last paragraph the author probably means A Destroy old buildings B Put things in a different place C Choose new architectural styles D Respect people s feelings for historical buildings 73 What is the main purpose of the passage A To explain why people dislike change B To warn that we could end up with living in caves C To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings D To argue that modern buildings an be built in historic areas 74 What is the author s attitude towards the topic Should we allow modern buildings to be built 第 5 页 共 7 页 next to older buildings in a historic area of a city A Uninterested B Supportive C Neutral D Disapproved B Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage 12 分分 In 1973 I was teaching elementary school Each day 27 kids entered The Thinking Laboratory That was

member of a small group of elevator experts who c 81 this a misunderstanding Without the elevator they point out there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings and city life as we know it would be i 82 In that sense they argue the elevator s role in American history has been no less significant than that of cars In fact according to Wilk the car and the elevator have been locked in a secret war for over a century with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally 水平地 and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical 垂直的 columns If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief boring and even awkward experience one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have

intelligent than your parents and grandparents According to James Flynn a professor at a New Zealand university you are Over the course of the last century people s IQ test scores have gotten steadily higher on average three points higher each decade This improvement is known as the Flynn effect and scientists want to know what is behind it IQ tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge Flynn believes that intelligence partly comes from our parents and partly is the result of our environment but the improvement in test scores has been happening too quickly to be explained by heredity 遗传 So what has occurred in the 20th century to help people achieve higher scores Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect Some suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general and the learning of test taking techniques that help us perform better on any test Others have pointed to better nutrition Babies now are born larger healthier and with more brain development than in the past Another suggested explanation is a change in educational styles with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information which improves their problem solving skills Flynn has limited the possible explanations after carefully examining test data and discovering that the improvement in scores has taken place in only certain parts of the IQ test Test takers are not doing better on the maths or vocabulary sections of the
