课时作业35 Travelling abroad
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a 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 (经济的) 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(保守的)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.
1．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.
2．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.
3．By “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
4．What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To explain why people dislike change.
B．To warn that we could end up living in caves.
C．To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.
D．To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.
答案与解析
本文是一篇谈论文。文章谈论的是在历史名城的古建筑区域里能否建设现代化的建筑。
1．A 细节理解题。依据第一段第三句“Not all historical buildings are attractive.”可知，作者认为并非全部的古建筑都引人入胜，故选A项。
2．C 细节理解题。依据第三段第一句可知，有些古建筑也同样破坏了它们所在的区域，故C项正确。
3．C 词义猜想题。依据第四段可知，假如我们照旧复制以前的建筑样式，那我们现在还住在地窖里。因此，作者建议使用新的不同的样式来替代，即便会冒确定的风险。故选C项。
4．D 写作意图题。第一段第一句以及最终一段最终一句前后呼应，表明白作者的观点，故选D项。

How to be a good tourist

How would you want visitors to behave in your own home? Think about it. __1__ There are many ways of doing this without sacrificing our own holiday.
Do your homework.__2__ Guides will help you when you get to site, but is that the best place to go? Is it popular only because the oneday tourist can see it easily or because it is really a worthwhile place to visit? You'd better check it out.
__3__ Don't go to your hotels for meals. Walk around, even if in the streets closest to your hotel. Eat in local restaurants. Talk to the locals. Learn a few in the local language and use them. You will surely get a smile from the hotel staff and street sellers.
Help preserve the sites. Most of the sites you visit may be visited by millions of people a year, so care needs to be taken to allow others to enjoy them as well. Some of these monuments are so old and fragile that they are sensitive to the touch of hands or bags and shows. __4__ This way, you don't encourage the use of those plastic bags that fly all over many sites.
And here's the big one—good manners are nearly universal. __5__ If that doesn't sound like you, then give the world a break and stay home.

C．Read up on the places you want to visit.

(2021·河南省中原名校一模)
Humor is not only considered as one of the most valuable quality, but necessary for a delightful life. You can clear sense humor when staying with Joe. He is kind but overweight, who brings him much trouble. Once after class one classmate asked about him. “Why are you, so fat？” We both stopped to stare at him, wondering how Joe would answer the question. He just said at a calm voice. “Well, because my size must large enough to hold my large heart of love.” Heard his words, we burst into laughter. Not only did Joe took the joke, but he managed to deal with the embarrassed situation.

范文
Recently we've had a discussion in our class about the fact that more and more Chinese people have fancy for celebrating western festivals. Our opinions are divided on this topic.
Some students are for it. Having western holidays is a good and lovely way to understand western holidays and foreign cultures. By celebrating popular western holidays, we know more about the history of other countries and we get closer to the world. In addition, we have opportunities to get together and have fun with our friends.
However, others are strongly against it. They think it's a problem when many young people forget Chinese traditions. And it's terrible to have little knowledge of our own culture. Furthermore, most of us don't know much about western holidays based on their religion and cultures. But just have fun and spend money and time in celebrating them. That's stupid.
