reasons. as in other cultures, many americans attend parties for weddings and religious or national holidays. but some parties are especially american. for example, a group of neighbors may gather on their street to eat food, play music and visit with one another. this is called a block party. a woman might invite a group of women to a party called a baby shower for a friend who is about to give birth. guests bring presents for the new baby. americans also attend tailgate parties. a tailgate is the back end of a truck or other vehicle that opens down. the tailgate parties are a big part of sports culture in the united states. friends bring food and drink to a sports event. they eat together in the parking area of the sports stadium. birthday parties are also very popular. many parents organize a party for their child around a theme. birthday parties usually include gifts and a birthday cake with candles. in many parts of the united states, cupcakes have become a popular replacement for cakes. birthday parties can be low cost or very costly. some parents take their childrens birthday parties very seriously, even when the child is too young to fully understand the celebration. one group of parents started a website called birthdays without pressure. they decided that some parents were under too much social pressure to plan costly parties for their children. the group sees this movement as an example of americas culture of “too much stuff”. the groups website gives suggestions on how to keep birthday celebrations simple, meaningful and fun without spending a lot of money.

purpose of birthdays without pressure is to advise people to _. a. relieve peoples pressure b. make birthday parties meaningful and costlyc. have meaningful birthday parties with low cost d. spread americas culture dshould we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in 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 reasonsfor example, economic(經(jīng)濟(jì)的) reasonswhy 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 home town 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(影響)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(破壞)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 peoples 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.32what does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?amost of them are too expensive to preserve.bsome of them are not attractive.cthey are more pleasing than modern buildings.dthey have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.33which of the following is true according to the author?awe should reproduce the same old buildings.bbuildings should not dominate their surroundings.cno one understands why people speak against new buildings.j-ydsome old buildings have spoilt the area they are in.34by “move things forward” in the last paragraph, the author probably means “_.”adestroy old buildings brespect peoples feelings for historical buildings21cput things in a different place dchoose new architectural styles35what is the main purpose of the passage?ato argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.bto explain why people dislike change.cto warn that we should end up living in caves.dto admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.第二節(jié) （共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分） 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。stress is a
