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 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.【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文，讨论了现代建筑是否应该和古老的历史建筑建在一起。

Restaurant chefs, home cooks, and foodies —people who love good food —often say that we eat with all of our senses.First, we use our sense of sight to appreciate how a meal is presented, either on a dinner plate or a dining table. Our sense of touch can also be important when preparing or sharing food.Next, with our sense of smell, we breathe in the mouth-watering aromas (香味) rising up from the meal. Finally, we enjoy the food with our sense of taste.But what about our sense of hearing? Does sound also affect our dining experience? A new report answers, “yes, it does. ”That answer comes from researchers at Brigham Young University in the United States. They found that hearing is important in the eating experience.Hearing is often called “the forgotten food sense, ” says Ryan Elder, “if people notice the sound the food makes as they eat it, they might eat less. ”On the other hand, watching loud television or listening to loud music while eating can hide such noises. And this could lead to overeating.The researchers admit that the effects may not seem like much at one meal. But over a week, a month, or a year, all that food can really add up.But besides not overeating, there is another upside.Hearing the noises of your meal as you eat, could help you to be more mindful of the experience and perhaps help you to enjoy it more.【文章大意】本文告诉人们享用食物时, 会用到五种感觉: 视觉、触觉、听觉、嗅觉和味觉; 并着重说明了听觉对人们进食量的影响。

Plastic sludge(污泥)and garbage is a disaster for the world's oceans.A film crew traveled the globe to document the rubbish.And Julie Andersen of the Plastic Oceans Foundation says what we see is just the tip of the problem.“Half of the waste actually sinks to the bottom，and that that remains on the surface actually breaks down.”The filmmakers found rubbish in ocean gyres，the circulating currents that trap large concentrations of pollution in the Atlantic，Indian，and Pacific Oceans，home o f what some have called a plastic island.“What we found in the center of the Pacific was not a floating island of plastic.What we found was a plastic smog that spread throughout all the water.And in some parts of the oceans，scientists have found more plast ic than plant.”The pieces of the plastic garbage infect the food chain，sometimes visibly，and more so at the microscopic level，where the plastic particles interact with other pollutants.“There are heavy metals，medicines，industrial waste in the sea，while it acts like magnets(磁铁)．These poisonous substances absorb on the plastic，and then when seafood absorbs the plastics，those poisonous substances enter the fatty tissues.”To be consumed by other sea life and by people at last.China，Indonesia，the Philippines，Thailand and Vietnam are the worst plastic polluters.The United States，although a leader in recycling，is one of the world's 20 since it produces and consumes so much plastic.There are efforts around the world to address the problem，including at this newly opened recycling center in Lebanon(黎巴嫩)．But Andersen says there is more that people can do.“Cut back on single­use plastics，straws，plastic cups，plastic water bottles，plastic bags and find alternatives like reusable materials.”She says healthy oceans are ess ential to our survival.1．What can we learn from the passage?A．There's an island full of plastic rubbish in the Pacific.B．The bad effect of plastic pollution can't be seen by eyes.C．The United States is the least plastic polluters.D．The plastic pollution to oceans is more serious than what we can see.2．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 3?A．Pollutants like heavy metals and medicines.B．The plastic particles.C．Seafood.D．Fatty tissues.3．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．All Asian countries have the most serious problem of plastic pollution.B．The plastic problem hasn't attracted the world's attention.C．Andersen is not satisfied with what has been done to solve the plastic problem.D．People should stop using plastic products immediately.4．Which may be the title of the passage?A．Plastic pollution in the WorldB．Plastic pollution—Oceans' DisasterC．Ways to solve the problem of plastic pollution to oceansD．Plastic pollution and our health【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

Unit 2 Poems李仕才Few people are aware that Waterloo Bridge, crossed by thousands of daily commuters（通勤者）and celebrated as a London landmark, was mainly built by a female workforce.There are no written or photographic records of the women who bui 11 the bridge since the con struct i on compa ny that built it closed in the 1980s and with it went all the records. What' s left is anecdotal evidence, kept alive by the tourist boat captains who have called it the Ladies' Bridge.During the Second World War, with the majority of the active male labor force away at the front, women increasingly took on traditional ly male roles. By 1944, 25，000 wome n were work ing in the con struct i on in dustry, carry ing out back -breaking tasks・ These women were permitted to carry out this exhausting and dangerous work on the basis that it would only be temporary and that their pay would be lower than that of men. So the trend in women working in construetion and engineering did not continue after the war.September sees a series of events celebrating the unknown work of the large female workforce・Musician Claudia Molitor has created a 45-minute musical cntitled "the Singing Bridge”， which runs at Somerset House from 9 to 25 September.
