Unit 1 Cultural relics 阅读理解 A (2018·广东七校联考)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, e 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梖or example, economic reasons梬hy they should be preserved.So, let us assume that hisiltorical 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, ally conservative(保守的) and do not like change. ere 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。 A．Most of them are too expensive to preserve.
