buildings in ahistoric area of a city?In order to answer this question,we must first examinewhether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area.Not allhistorical buildings are attractive.However,there may be other reasonsforexample,economic(经济的)reasonswhy they should be preserved.So,let us assumethat 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 alongsidean older style.Indeed,there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours wheremodern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings.As longas the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate(影响)its surroundingstoo 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.Yetpeople still speak against new buildings in historic areas.I think this is simplybecause people are naturally conservative(保守的)and do not like change.Although we have to respect peoples feelings as fellow users of thebuildings,I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things创 作人：荧多莘日 期：二 O 二二 年 1 月 17 日创 作人：荧多莘日 期：二 O 二二 年 1 月 17 日forward.If we always reproduced what was there before,we would all still be livingin caves.Thus,I would argue against copying previous architectural styles andchoose something fresh and different,even though that might be the more riskychoice.【小题 1】What does the author say about historical buildings in the firstparagraph?ASome of them are not attractive.BMost of them are too expensive to preserve.CThey are more pleasing than modern buildings.DThey

surroundings.CNo one understands why people speak against new buildings.DSome old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.【小题 3】By“move things forwardin the last paragraph,the author probably means“_Adestroy old buildingsBchoose new architectural styleCput things in a different placeDrespect peoples feelings for historical buildings【小题 4】What is the main purpose of the passage?创 作人：荧多莘日

年 1 月 17 日创 作人：荧多莘日 期：二 O 二二 年 1 月 17 日A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes,as a rule,to have it retoldin almost the same words,but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairystories as formal texts.It is always much better to tell a story than read it outof a book,and,if a parent can produce what,in the actual situation of the timeand the child,is an improvement on the printed text,so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening himor making him sad thinking.To prove the latter,one would have to show in a controlledexperiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry forcruelty than those who had not.As to fears,there are,I think,some cases of childrenbeing dangerously terrified by some fairy story.Often,however,this arises(出现)from the child having heard the story once.Familiarity with the story byrepetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are notobjectively true,that giants,witches,two-headed dragons,magic carpets,etc.do not exist;and that,instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales,the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history.I find suchpeople,I must say so peculiar(奇怪的)that I do not know how to argue with them.If their case were sound,the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly fromNew York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the beliefthat it was their beloved girl-friend.No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no cleverchild has ever believed that it was.创 作人：荧多莘日 期：二 O 二二 年 1 月 17 日创 作人：荧多莘日 期：二 O 二二 年 1 月 17 日1.The author
