26、 Modern buildings are set up on a large scale in the city. Should they be allowed 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. All historical buildings are not 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 be 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 hometown 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 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 the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old ones 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 is the author's view of historical buildings in Paragraph 1?
A.Some of them are unattractive.
B.Many of them are too old to preserve.
C.They don't offer the historic feel of an area.
D.They are more pleasing than modern buildings.
【2】Which of the following does the author mostly agree with?
A.We should reproduce the same old buildings.
B.Buildings shouldn't fit in with their surroundings.
C.Some old buildings have reduced the interest of the area they are in.
D.No one knows why people are against new buildings.
【3】The underlined words “move things forward” mean _______.
A.destroy old buildings
B.put things in a different place
C.respect people's feelings
D.choose new architectural style
【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 answer the questions people show great interest in.
D.To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.
27、 Wearable sensors (传感器) could one day interpret the gestures in sign language and translate them into English,providing a hightech solution to communication problems between deaf people and those who don't understand sign language.
Engineers at Texas A & M University are developing a wearable device that can sense movement and muscle activity in a person's arms. The device works by figuring out the gestures a person is making by using two sets of sensors:one that responds to the motion of the wrist and the other to the muscular movements in the arm. A program then wirelessly receives this information and changes the data into the English translation. “Most of the technology was based on visionbased or camerabased solutions,” said study lead researcher Roozbeh Jafari,an associate professor of biomedical engineering at Texas A & M University.
These existing designs, Jafari said,are not enough,because often when someone is talking with sign language,he or she is using hand gestures combined with specific finger movements.“I thought maybe we should look into combining motion sensors and muscle activation,”Jafari told Live Science. “And the idea here was to build a wearable device.”
The researchers have built a system that can recognize words that people use most commonly in their daily conversations. Jafari said that once the team starts expanding the program,the engineers will include more words that are less frequently used,in order to build up a more substantial vocabulary.
One drawback of it is that the system has to be “trained ” to respond to each individual that wears the device,Jafari said. This training process involves asking the user to repeat or do each hand gesture a couple of times,which can take up to 30 minutes to complete.
【1】How does the new device work?
A.By figuring out gestures from fingers.
B.By connecting the wrist and the fingers.
C.By linking the arm and the fingers.
D.By collecting information from the wrist and the arm.
【2】The researchers eventually decided on a wearable device to ________.
A.make it easier to monitor the gestures when people are talking
B.make the translation process faster
C.compete with existing designs
D.make it userfriendly
【3】We can replace the underlined word in Paragraph 4 by “ ________ ”.
A.necessary B.influential
C.extensive D.essential
【4】What can we infer from the text?
A.The device has greatly increased in sales.
B.The device still requires much improvement.
C.We should work out of 30 minutes.
D.We should be trained to respond quickly.

29、 I don't know exactly when my love for qipaos started.I just know that when I saw Zhao Wei and her costars wearing qipaos in Romance in the Rain TV series, which was set in Shanghai in the 1930s.I was smitten.

The woman said my qipao was“ Shanghai style” and made of brocade(织锦缎).It had held pretty well throughout the years.The "qipao doctor "said she could add material to widen it, so I chose a light pink cloth with a"noble""flowered design, which fitted well with the qipao and had a similar style with the original one.Finally, my old qipao was altered to my satisfaction and given a second life.

On a broiling afternoon when the men were away at work and all the women napped, I moved through majestic depths of silences, silences so immense I could hear the corn 【1】. Under these silences there was a / an orchestra of natural music playing notes no city child would ever hear. A certain cackle from the henhouse meant we had gained an egg. The creak of a porch swing told of a momentary breeze blowing across my grandmother’s yard. As I 【2】 along a mossy bank to surprise a frog, a 【3】splash told me the quarry had spotted me and slipped into the stream. Wandering among the sleeping houses, I learned that tin roofs crackle under the power of the sun, and when I tired and came back to my grandmother’s house, I padded into her dark cool living room, lay 【4】 on the floor, and listened to the hypnotic beat of her pendulum clock on the wall ticking the meaningless hours away.
I was enjoying the luxuries of a rustic nineteenth-century boyhood, but for the women Morrisonville life had few 【5】. Their lives were hard, endless, dirty labor.
For baths, laundry, and dishwashing, they hauled buckets of water from a spring at the foot of a hill. To heat it, they chopped kindling to fire their wood stoves. They boiled laundry in tubs, scrubbed it on washboards until knuckles were 【6】, and wrung it out by hand. Ironing was a business of lifting heavy metal weights heated on the stove top.
They scrubbed floors on hands and knees, thrashed rugs with carpet beaters, killed and plucked their own chickens, baked bread and parties, grew and conned their won vegetables, patched the family’s clothing on treadle-operated sewing machines, 【7】before the men to start the stove for breakfast and pack lunch pails, polished the chimneys of kerosene lamps, and even found time to tend the flowers that grew around every house. By the end of a summer day a Morrisonville woman had toiled like a serf.
At sundown the men drifted back from the fields exhausted and 【8】. They scrubbed themselves in enamel basins and, when supper was eaten, climbed up onto the porch to watch the night arrive. Presently the women 【9】 them, and the twilight music of Morrisonville began.
The swing creaking , rocking chairs 【10】 on the porch planks, voices murmuring approval of the sagacity of Uncle Irvey as he quietly observed for probably the ten-thousandth time in his life, “A man works from sun to sun, but a woman’s work is never done.”

Smell the flowers before you go to sleep and you may just end up with rosy dreams. Have a whiff of rotten(腐烂的)eggs during the night and your dreams may be【1】(pleasant). So says researcher Dr. Boris Stuck, 【2】invited sleeping volunteers to a rose vs. rotten egg test in the University Hospital Mannheim in Germany. The subjects didn’t dream about roses【3】eggs, but rather he found that what they smelt affected the emotions of【4】(they) dreams.
And if you think【5】(smell) have a say in dreams, wait for what TV tells us. A UK study reveals that people exposed【6】black-and-white film and TV in their youth are to have monochromic(单色的)dreams throughout their life more【7】(probable). Eva Murzyn from the University of Dundee tested two age groups— one half 【8】(age) over 55 and【9】other half under 25.
The result? Under 5% of the dreams of the under-25s were in black and white. 【10】(watch)color TV in childhood seems to be the reason why.

39、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
There were two men who occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour a day to drain (排除)the liquids from his lungs. His bed was next to the room’s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.
The men talked for hours every day. They spoke about their wives and families and their jobs. And every afternoon when the man by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed would live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened by all the activity and color of the outside world.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake, the man had said Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm, and a fine view of the city could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in detail, the man on the other side of the room closed his eyes and imagined the beautiful scene.
One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man could not hear the band, he could see it in his mind’s eye as the gentleman by the window described it. Unexpectedly, a strange thought entered his head: Why could he look out of the window? Why should he have all the pleasure of seeing everything while I never get to see anything? It didn’t seem fair.
As the thought developed, the man felt ashamed at first. But as the days passed and he missed seeing more sights, his envy turned into hate and soon turned him sour. He began to find himself unable to sleep. He should be by that window and that thought now controlled his life.
